  • Patent number: 11193564
    Abstract: The invention relates to a tensioner (100) comprising: a hollow body (10) provided with a bottom (12), said bottom comprising a central zone (120), a peripheral zone (121) raised relative to the central zone and an intermediate zone (122) an axis (30) two guide means (40, 50) for said axis two cups (60, 124), the cup (124) comprising a first portion (124A) in front of the peripheral zone and a second portion (124B) in front of the intermediate zone a spring (70) held between the cups and arranged around the second guide means so that there is a gap between the spring and the second guide means a valve (80) with a channel (90), the channel opening in front of the second portion of the cup (124) away from said second portion.

  • Patent number: 10066727
    Abstract: Uncoupling pulley having a longitudinal axis, and including a wheel rim having a first zone, to receive a belt connecting the wheel rim to a first power transmission element, and second zone situated in the axial extension along the direction defined by the longitudinal axis of the pulley, of the first zone; a hub to be secured to a second power transmission element; one of the power transmission elements being driving, and the other being driven; a ring mounted below the second zone of the wheel rim and around the hub, so the ring can rotate, around the longitudinal axis, relative to the wheel rim and/or the hub; an elastically deformable element mounted between the hub and the ring; and a unidirectional clutch having an end fastened to the ring and the remaining part of which is mounted below the second zone of the wheel rim and above the ring.

  • Publication number: 20130118853
    Abstract: The invention relates to a decoupling comprising two elements in rotation about a longitudinal axis, namely a rim and a hub, and also comprising a load support which ensures relative rotation between the rim and the hub, together with a torque transmission element positioned between the rim and hub, which comprises an elastic device deformable parallel to the longitudinal axis and comprising at least one elastic element, the pulley being characterized in that the torque transmission element comprises:—a first annular plate (1) connected in terms of rotation to one of the two elements, rim (4) or hub (3), and capable of moving axially with respect to thereto, having a first end face (11) in contact with a first end face (51) of the elastic device (5) and a second end face opposite to the first end face and comprising at least one first ramp path having at least one inclined zone (12, 14) forming a circular sector centred on the longitudinal axis and making a non-zero angle (?, ?1, ?2) with respect to a plane p

  • Publication number: 20100173737
    Abstract: The invention relates to a tool for mounting a belt in a ribbed groove of a pulley of a transmission system, the tool being characterized in that it presents a nose region (10) presenting a catching edge (11) that acts during mounting to form a bearing surface for at least a fraction of the ribs of the belt by raising the outside flank of the belt relative to its opposite inside flank.
