Abstract: An electrical mains plug having a body formed of an electrically insulating material is described. Two contact pins are arranged parallel to one another and which project out of the body at a first side thereof, and inside the body are connected or can be connected in each case to an electrical conductor which leads out or can be led out of the body at a second side thereof. The thermal bimetallic element is provided as a temperature sensor, said thermal bimetallic element being a constituent part of the thermal bimetallic switch which is associated with at least one of two contact pins. An electrical connection cable suitable therefor and an electrical device connected thereto are also described.

Abstract: A holding system (101, 102, 103) for holding at least one pipe, comprising a comb including a bar and parallel teeth perpendicular to the bar. A blocking device (30) consisting essentially of a pin, serves to prevent a pipe passing between two of the teeth from moving away from the bar. The holding system further comprises two supports (40A, 40B), positioned at the ends of the comb, and which hold the comb so as to allow rotation thereof around the axis of the bar. A method for mounting a heat exchanger (100) comprising such a holding system.

Abstract: A fastening method for fastening a tube (50) to a connector (101, 102), the method comprising the following steps: a) providing a connection kit comprising a sleeve, and a coupling for connecting together at least one pair of tubes, of generally tubular shape; b) placing the coupling in a first position in which the first end of the coupling projects outside the sleeve through a first end (10A) thereof; c) then fastening the first tube in leaktight manner to the first orifice; d) moving the coupling relative to the sleeve into a second position in which the first orifice lies inside the sleeve; and e) with the coupling in the second position, fastening the sleeve (10) at a sufficient distance from the coupling (20). A connection kit for performing the method.

Abstract: A branch connection stub for connection to a main pipe. The branch connection stub presents an outside surface of revolution and has at least one axial internal passage, a rear segment with a fastener flange, an intermediate segment, and a front segment having a free end presenting a circular outline suitable for being mounting by plane welding around a circular opening in the wall of the main pipe. The intermediate segment includes a first wall and a second wall forming between them an acute angle towards the internal passage. The branch connection stub is applicable to a hot heat exchanger for rocket engines.
