  • Patent number: 9359070
    Abstract: Each propulsion unit of the drone comprises a propeller (20) and a rotary-cage synchronous electric motor whose stator is connected to the drone body. The propulsion unit in of the gearless type, the rotor of the motor being rotationally integral with the propeller hub (24). The rotor is integral with an upper flange (56) extending in a radial plane with respect to the axis of rotation. Reversible means are provided for the fast coupling of the propeller to the rotor, implementing studs (62) with an enlarged head (66) formed on the flange, which cooperate with homologous curvilinear buttonholes (32) formed on the hub. The switching from the decoupled position to the locked position is operated by relative rotation of the propeller hub with respect to the flange by a fraction of a turn, in an opposite direction with respect to the direction of rotation of the motor.

  • Publication number: 20160130015
    Abstract: The drone body (10) comprises a frame (12), integral with arms (14) for connection to propulsion units (16), an electronic board (24) carrying components as well as accelerometer, inertial and altimeter sensors, a support for this board, and an elastic interface (26) between the frame and the board support, to filter and absorb the mechanical vibrations. The board support is a panel (22) made of an electrically conductive metal material. The panel carries on a back side thermally conductive areas at places located opposite heat-sink electronic components mounted on the board on the back side. The panel is moreover electrically connected to a ground potential of the electronic board, so as to form an electromagnetic shielding screen. It is further mechanically connected to the frame with uncoupling by the elastic interface (26) interposed between the panel and the frame.

  • Publication number: 20150321759
    Abstract: The drone (10) comprises a drone body (12) and a plurality of propulsion units (16) to drive propellers (18). Removable lateral bumpers (22) extend beyond the area of rotation of the propellers, each bumper being connected to the propulsion units on the same side by connection arms (24) each comprising a pair of elastically deformable elongated blades with at their end a clamp of mounting on a barrel (26) of the motor. Under the effect of an external transverse effort exerted in a median region, the two blades may be deformed in the direction of a mutual moving closer towards a mounting/dismounting position producing, by leverage, an opening of the clamp, so as to secure the bumper arm to the propulsion unit, and conversely the mounting/dismounting of the bumper by detachment of the clamp from the barrel, by the only transverse effort exerted on the connection arms.

  • Publication number: 20100060808
    Abstract: The display device (10) comprises a substantially parallelepipedal flat case, having a front face (14), a rear face (18) and side faces forming a peripheral edge. The case accommodates a display screen adapted to produce an image as a pixel array, and means for processing data and driving the display screen. The case comprises a housing (50) and a front part (96, 106) detachably assembled together through a mechanical fastening lock (84). The front part comprises a front glass (106) and a support part (96). The front glass extends from side to side over the support part and is non-detachably attached to the latter, and the support part comprises a central window and elements (102) for engaging the fastening lock (84).
