A reversible wire twisting pliers including such a transformation device.

Abstract: A remote manipulator of a tool has a body provided with a fixed jaw and a slide provided with a mobile jaw able to be displaced linearly, actuators located at a distance and coupled to the tool via a cable integral with a side of the slide and sliding inside a flexible sheath having one end integral with the body. The actuators have two arms each associated respectively to a handle and able to be separated angularly from each other by rotation about an axis by a value such that the distance between their free ends is at least equal to the maximum linear displacement of the slide bearing the mobile jaw, when the two handles are brought close to one another.

Abstract: The invention relates to a ceramic particle mixture containing, as components, a predominant portion by weight of frittable particles made of a ceramic material and particles of at least one additive, at least one additive being a dispersed absorbent solid inorganic material which has, for a laser beam emitted at a predetermined wavelength, a specific absorptivity that is greater than the absorptivity of the other components of the ceramic mixture, and which drastically breaks down when gas is emitted in the presence of the laser beam, said additive being present in proportions of less than 5% of the dry weight. The invention also relates to ceramic parts produced from such a mixture.

Abstract: A remote manipulator of a tool has a body provided with a fixed jaw and a slide provided with a mobile jaw able to be displaced linearly, means of actuating located at a distance and coupled to the tool via a cable integral with a side of the slide and sliding inside a flexible sheath having one end integral with the body. The means of actuating have two arms each associated respectively to a handle and able to be separated angularly from each other by rotation about an axis of a value such that the distance between their free end is at least equal to the maximum linear displacement of the slide bearing the mobile jaw, when the two handles are brought close to one another.

Abstract: The invention relates to a gripping tool, particularly for a mechanical part, comprising: a bell provided with gripping means facilitating the handling of said bell; a cage coaxial with said bell and rotatable, comprising at least one lateral opening and receiving said mechanical part; three bearing members including at least one movable retractable rotating roller; said bell being provided with at least one slope for varying the centre-to-centre distance between said retractable rotating roller and said bell based on the angular position of said retractable rotating roller, said cage and said retractable rotating roller being interconnected by guiding means arranged to guide said retractable rotating roller, said cage and said guiding means are arranged to enable the radial movement of said retractable rotating roller such that the axis thereof can pass through the wall of said cage.

Abstract: A device is for enabling a motor vehicle seat to slide. The device includes a runner, locking device, control support, control rod, and torsion spring. The locking device locks the runner having an active state and an inactive state. The control support is mounted to pivot on the moving rail between an active position in which it constrains the locking device to be in its active state and a rest position in which it allows the locking device to return to its active state. The control rod is mounted to pivot on the control support between an in-use position and a retracted position. The torsion spring tends to bring the control rod into the in-use position and tends to bring the control support into the rest position.

Abstract: A method and an implementation equipment for fixing an elastic clamp band (1) to the lugs (5) particularly adapted for re-current mounting of a flexible connection pipe (12) on a pipe system (13). An automatic dispenser (2) of clamp bands (1) is arranged to position each clamp band (1) such that its two lugs are externally accessible to be seized by the grips (9, 52, 103) of a hand tool for extracting and fixing (8, 50, 100) which are brought together to compress the lugs (5) of the clamp band (1) by external (11) separately controlled actuators. The tool (8, 50, 100) comprises elements for bringing together the grips (9, 52, 103)) freely and reversibly when the external actuators (11) are activated and elements for releasing them instantly or gradually at the desired moment with an external control (14, 123).

Abstract: A hand-held apparatus for cutting transversely a pipe using a slitter co-operating with rollers to produce a deepening cut, is formed of two half-shells mounted opposite around the pipe with adjustable clamping elements one at least supporting a slitter or radially mobile, in the cutting plane, and the other, at least two rollers rotating in the cutting plane and arranged in pair facing each slitter on the other half-shell to compensate the cutting force in the assembly rotation about the pipe resulting from the cooperation between a tangential driving tool and catching elements distributed over the outer surface or on the periphery of each half-shell.

Abstract: A device for the remote handling of equipment (4) for instance designed for mounting elastic rings (6) comprises a fixed jaw (8) and a mobile jaw (12) which moves linearly relative to the fixed jaw (8) by actuating elements coupled to the equipment (4) by a cable (2) connected to the mobile jaw (12) inside a sheath (3) one end of which comes to stop (10) on the fixed jaw (8). The actuating elements consist of two branches (13, 14) articulated on a common axis (15) such that the distance between their free end (131, 141) is not less than the maximum displacement of the mobile jaw (12), when bringing closer the two handles (16, 17) respectively integral with the two branches (13, 14) of which the free end (131) of one (13) acts as a stop to the other end of the sheath (3) while allowing the cable (2) that is connected to the free end (14) of the other arm (14) to slide.
