  • Patent number: 10000968
    Abstract: An electromechanical actuator (11) includes a sealing element (21) provided with a housing (22), an electronic control unit (15) electrically connected to a first electrical connector (23), and a power supply cable (18) including, at one of the ends of same, a second electrical connector (24). The second connector (24) includes an elastic tab (26) provided with a stop element (27) cooperating with a recess (28) provided in the housing (22), and a first bending area (32) provided at the junction between a first end (26a) of the elastic tab (26) and a body (25) of the second connector (24). The stop element (27) is provided at a second free end (26b) of the elastic tab (26). The elastic tab (26) includes a second bending area (33) provided at the junction between an arm (37) and the stop element (27) of the elastic tab (26).

  • Patent number: 9175514
    Abstract: Tubular actuator (1) for driving a windable element in a building, comprising: in a tube (3) having a longitudinal axis (X-X?), a reduction gear and an output shaft (4) at a first end of the tube and a fixed-point (2) in two portions at a second end of the tube, the fixed-point comprising a first portion (20; 20?) at least partially outside the tube and a second portion (40; 40?) assembled in the tube, wherein the first portion comprises at least one torque and weight-bearing axial extension, this torque and weight-bearing axial extension being capable of being inserted into at least one recess of the second portion and being locked in translation along the longitudinal axis relative to the tube of the actuator by a first locking means (35, 37, 38).
