Abstract: A spacer for mechanically stabilizing and electrically insulating an end winding in an electric motor includes an elastic nose having a free end. A planar, electrically insulating sheet is integrally formed at an end of the nose located opposite the free end. Such spacers are used in an electric motor having an iron core, whose teeth are surrounded by coils whose end windings laterally project from the iron core. The spacers are press-fitted inside openings formed by the end windings and the teeth, so that the end windings are covered by the sheet of the press-fitted spacer in the direction of an air gap of the electric motor in each case.

Abstract: Vehicle seat comprising a cushion and a backrest pivoting with respect to the cushion about a horizontal pivot axis by means of an articulation between a range of erect positions of use, a folded-flat position and an intermediate folded-down position. This seat comprises a first, a second and a third control member connecting the cushion to the backrest, one of the first, second and third control members being distinct from the other two.

Abstract: A runner for a vehicle seat, the runner being of the type comprising a male rail (7) and a female rail (6) which define between them at least a first compartment (8) in which rolling bearing elements are disposed to enable said male and female rails to move relative to each other along a longitudinal axis. The runner further comprises at least one shoe (10) received in the first compartment (8) and mounted to slide relative to one of the rails, namely the male rail or the female rail, the shoe comprising at least a first rigid portion (11) having a shape substantially complementary to the shape of the first compartment in order to offer contact zones for contact with the male rail and with the female rail when the runner is subjected to deformation in a first direction.
