  • Patent number: 9420716
    Abstract: An electronic module installation tool temporarily supports electronic modules in electronic racks. The tool has a frame configured to be inserted into a rack and that has a top surface for supporting an electronics module. A front surface of the frame supports a faceplate and left and right manual clamps having a first pivot for the clamp handle relative to the frame and a second pivot for the clamp relative to the clamp handle. The faceplate extends to the left and right to create flanges that each support a pin carrier that supports rearwardly extending top and bottom vertically arrayed pins that are sized and spaced apart to align with holes in an attachment rail in the rack. A clamp extends between the pins and clamps to the rear side of the rail when the handle is operated. The tools may be made for various sizes of racks.

  • Patent number: 8678487
    Abstract: A glazed roof of a motor vehicle is provided, which includes at least one opening and a fixed glazed structure bearing at least one element sliding on the inside of the vehicle and intended to close the opening(s). The glazed structure has an external contour coinciding with an accommodating surround on the chassis of the vehicle so the contour can be secured to the accommodating surround, as a flush fit. Each of the sliding elements is guided along two rails secured to the surface of the fixed structure, in a region distant from the external contour so as not to interfere with the securing of the latter to the accommodating surround. The roof has at least one retaining element, having a first end secured to one of the rails and a second end secured to the chassis. Each of the retaining elements is positioned at right angles to the rail.

  • Publication number: 20110120020
    Abstract: A device is provided for closing off a window made in a motor vehicle. The device includes a fixed part intended to be attached to the vehicle and at least one movable glazed panel able to move along a sliding axis between a closed position in which it closes off an opening defined in the fixed part and at least one open position in which the opening is at least partially free. The device includes at least one cable attached to the movable panel, a portion of the cable bearing the movable panel, moving parallel to the sliding axis in order to move the movable panel and engaging with a displacement device able to shift the movable panel from a closing plane corresponding to the plane of the fixed part to a sliding plane parallel to the closing plane.
