  • Patent number: 8119908
    Abstract: The electricity transmission device comprises prolonged rigid conductors made of copper, and also a connector comprising a network of flexible elements, such as brazed tubes with cooling channels for the conductors, that enables angular displacements between the successive segments and therefore gives a flexibility absorbing small displacements of the device. A lifting manoeuvre system is associated with the segments. The segments may be joined to other elements of the device through connections with jaws enabling slipping.
    Type: Grant

    Inventors: Jacques Lacombe, Patrice Brun, Thierry Flament, Eric Chauvin, Antony Prod'Homme
  • Publication number: 20110056719
    Abstract: The electricity transmission device comprises prolonged rigid conductors made of copper (18), and also a connector (17) comprising a network of flexible elements (23), such as brazed tubes with cooling channels (20, 22) for the conductors (18), that enables angular displacements between the successive segments (15, 16) and therefore gives a flexibility absorbing small displacements of the device. A lifting manoeuvre system (26, 27) is associated with the segments (15, 16). The segments (15, 16) may be joined to other elements of the device through connections with jaws enabling slipping.

  • Patent number: 5000408
    Abstract: An azimuth-elevation type antenna support comprising a stock and a mounting plate on which the antenna is fixed, the support being mounted on a base relative to which the antenna takes up a cantilevered position, the support being characterized in that the stock (31) comprises: at least one top half-collar (41) disposed around the base (10) and having its arms (46) extending towards the antenna, with a top strap (42) fixed to the top half-collar (41) in order to lock it on the base; a bottom half-collar (43) disposed around the base and having its arms (47) extending away from the antenna, with a bottom strap (44) fixed to the bottom half-collar (43) in order to lock it on the base; and two side risers (45) extending over a certain distance parallel to the axis of the base and each interconnecting the end portion of one of the arms (46) of the top half-collar (41) to the end portion of the bottom half-collar (43) located therebelow.
