  • Patent number: 10064308
    Abstract: Mechanical mounting devices for an electronic housing in a frame are provided, the electronic housing comprising a front face, a rear face, a bottom and two lateral faces, the frame comprising an opening. The electronic housing comprises, on each lateral face, a mechanical cam having a quarter-circle form, one of the two ends of the cam being terminated by a triangular point the end bearing the point being disposed close to the bottom, the second end being disposed along the front face. The bottom of the frame comprises a bottom abutment parallel to the front face. The opening of the frame comprises two guiding pins disposed on either side of the uprights of the opening and arranged such that each cam can be displaced in rotation on the pin which corresponds to it during the phase of mounting of the electronic housing in the frame.

  • Patent number: 8462290
    Abstract: The display device comprises a display screen comprising a bonding surface and a mechanical structure. The display device also comprises a glass protective casing consisting of two sheets of glass and inserts. This protective casing is bonded to the structure beneath the second sheet of glass. The screen is bonded to the inside of the protective casing on only one of the two sheets. The invention proposes a compact protective device for a flat screen which is applied essentially to liquid crystal matrix screens comprising light-emitting diode light. The preferred field of application is that of screens used for aviation.

  • Patent number: 7347514
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a lock-fixing device of an apparatus designed to be mounted in a rack, and relates in particular to the fixing of radio electric or electronic apparatus, with the aid of a fixing of the “lock” type. The fixing device applies in a particularly advantageous manner to a so-called “onboard” apparatus. The fixing device includes first and second fixing elements secured respectively to the apparatus and the rack. The first element is moved by the operation of a handle in order to interact with the other element to fix the apparatus in the rack. The fixing device includes a mechanism for locking the handle. According to the invention, the handle (14) has a gripping member connected to a handle body situated on one side of the apparatus. The locking mechanism has a sliding hook serving as an abutment to the handle body in the locked position.

  • Patent number: 6301720
    Abstract: A simplified-fitting modular helmet resistant to aerodynamic stresses. The helmet has a base helmet and module, and includes between these two parts two lateral linking devices and an upper linking device. The linking devices include a finger secured to the module inserted into a socket secured to the base helmet and latchable in the assembled position of the helmet by a device of the quarter of a revolution type. The lateral fingers permit a small lateral clearance between the two parts of the helmet. Such a helmet may find particular application as an aircraft pilot helmet.
