  • Patent number: 10500782
    Abstract: A rotary machine includes a main axis, a plurality of first stations and a plurality of second stations. Each first station rotates around the main axis and applies a first process to a container. Each second station rotates around the main axis and applies a second process to a processed container. The machine also includes an internal exit position, at which each first station is located once the first station has completed the first process and that is arranged to release the processed container. At an internal entry position, each second station is arranged to receive the released processed container. At least one transfer arm is adapted to seize a processed container and move the processed container between a first station located at the internal exit position and a second station located at the internal entry position.

  • Patent number: 6382844
    Abstract: The invention relates to a connector element for optical fiber, said connector element comprising: a ferrule (3) serving to hold a stripped end portion of an optical fiber; a ferrule support (2) having a front end suitable for supporting the ferrule, a rear end (10), and a channel extending from the rear end (10) to the front end and via which the non-stripped portion of the optical fiber can pass through said support (2) so that the stripped end portion of the fiber can be engaged in the ferrule (3); and a body (1) inside which the ferrule (3) and its support (2) are received, said body having a front end for connecting the connector element to another connector element, and a rear end (11) extending beyond the rear end (10) of the ferrule support, when the connector is in the assembled state.

  • Patent number: 5159652
    Abstract: Connector for optical fibers, comprising two plug pins mounted one at the end of each of the fibers to be connected, a female reconstitution coupling (1) for supporting and aligning the two plug pins face to face; each of the plug pins being held in a plug body affixed to the cable containing the optical fiber to be connected, each of the plug bodies and the coupling containing snap-in connection means (29, 16); an operating slider (3) is mounted around each of the plug bodies. The female reconstitution coupling (1) has an axial tubular piece (10) whose outer surface (15) constitutes a surface for the mechanical guidance of the plug body, and of which at least a part of the interior surface serves as a means for the mechanical guidance of the plug pin in the coupling (1).
