  • Patent number: 8632115
    Abstract: Hatch system (1) for a motor craft, in particular for an automobile vehicle, for example, the hatch (1) being mounted articulated about a substantially horizontal fixed main rotation axis (A) supported by the chassis of the motor craft, and being movable about the main rotation axis (A) manually or automatically by drive means (5) between a closed position and an open position, characterized in that, during a phase of movement of the hatch (1), the drive means (5) driving rotation of the hatch (1) about the main rotation axis (A) actuate means (7) for maneuvering the hatch (1) in rotation in the opposite direction about a secondary rotation axis (B), the combination of these two movements in rotation causing the hatch (1) to move in a substantially vertical plane without necessarily causing lateral movement of the hatch during this phase of movement of the hatch (1).

  • Publication number: 20100147446
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a ducting for a fluid transfer pipeline for an aircraft or spacecraft, an aeronautical structure incorporating it and a method for producing this ducting. The ducting (1) comprises a pipe (2) with a thermoplastic or thermoplastic elastomeric layer (4) and a reinforcing layer (5) surmounting it.

  • Patent number: 7121046
    Abstract: A sealing gasket for mounting around a motor vehicle door presenting at least one corner of small radius of curvature, the gasket being mounted directly on its support without being subjected to any specific localized treatment operation in a support corner of small radius of curvature, and comprising at least a flexible or semi-rigid fixing portion fixed by adhesive to its support and an elastically-deformable tubular portion for providing sealing, wherein the elastically-deformable portion of the gasket is given a shape extending from its fixing portion that is generally triangular, being defined by two lateral pillars which between them form an angle of about 10° to 80°, and which are united by an arch, said angle being defined using two straight lines passing substantially through the middles of the two lateral pillars at ?ths and at ?ths of the total height of the gasket measured from its fixing portion.

  • Publication number: 20050120634
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method of manufacturing a sealing gasket, in particular a hidden frame type window run for a motor vehicle, the method consisting in placing in the gasket that is made from thermoplastic materials, at least one anti-shrinkage element that is placed in a position that is determined so as to obtain automatically and naturally a gasket that is curved after it has been extruded and has cooled down, and the method further consisting in acting on the shrinkage ability of the materials constituting the gasket in order to obtain varying amounts of curvature.
