Patent number: 9440343Abstract: The pole comprises a securing end, with device securing means and the device actuating means, a gripping end to be gripped by an operator and telecontrolling means for telecontrolling the actuating means. The actuating means are arranged in the device securing means and are directly controlled by the securing end of the pole and thus telecontrolled by the pole and its gripping end under the action of a thrust of the pole towards the support material. The device actuating means comprise safety means arranged to avoid by gravity the control of the actuating means by the securing end of the pole when the spatial position of the pole is inappropriate. The invention also relates to an anchoring device provided with the same safety means.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2010Date of Patent: September 13, 2016Assignee: SOCIETE DE PROSPECTION ET D'INVENTIONS TECHNIQUES SPITInventors: Patrick Herelier, Emmanuel Vallon, Ludovic Rousson

Patent number: 7314211Abstract: A connection arrangement for transferring gas from a compressed gas cartridge, has a valve element configured to control the release of gas from the cartridge; a male outlet which is integral with the valve element; a male inlet of a gas receiver for a tool that runs on compressed gas; and a connector receiving and connecting the male inlet and outlet. The connector is a tubular housing having a through hole extending from one end to the other. An inner wall of the housing contacts side surfaces of the male outlet and inlet in a sealing manner. The connector also has, in a middle region, transverse sealing surfaces that contact the end faces of the male outlet and inlet. The diameter of the through hole in this middle region is the same as the inner diameters of the openings in the ends of the male inlet and outlet.Type: GrantFiled: May 18, 2006Date of Patent: January 1, 2008Assignee: Societe de Prospection et d'Inventions Techniques SPITInventors: Emmanuel Vallon, Patrick Herelier
