  • Patent number: 11598458
    Abstract: A hinged connection device includes first and second tubular components around a main axis which respectively include a first male hinge member provided with an end head shaped as a spherical segment and a second female hinge member provided with a complementary seat receiving movably inside the end head of the first member. The first member is configured to be housed at least partially inside the first component and to be assembled to the second component throughout the second member. The second member is configured to be mounted around the second component and assembled to the first component over the first member such that the two tubular components are assembled together by the reciprocal intersection of the two hinge members.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11015741
    Abstract: A fastening support includes a generally «C»-shaped annular body having two free ends which can be spaced apart to position the annular body around the item and a tab for fastening to the mounting point of an outer member. Furthermore, in accordance with the invention, the annular body includes, on an inner face, a plurality of retaining notches capable of cooperating with the tubular item such that the annular body is adapted to perform an incremental rotation from one notch to the other under the effect of a mechanical bias in rotation, between first and second angular positions for temporary immobilization in rotation by the retaining notches.

  • Patent number: 10260659
    Abstract: A fastening method configured to fasten a mechanical part on a support by means of a fastening flange, the method including: placing the fastening flange on a first segment of the part, in a loose configuration, providing on the first segment at least one stop and on the fastening flange at least one bearing member, which cooperates with the stop so as to limit, in the loose configuration, the stroke of the fastening flange to a predetermined allowed displacement range, which allows to freely select an adapted position among a plurality of accessible positions, and to provide on the flange a locking mechanism arranged such that, when the subassembly is fastened to the support by means of the at least one lug, then a locking of the body of the fastening flange is automatically caused on the mechanical part in the adapted position.
