  • Publication number: 20100251813
    Abstract: A device for monitoring circulation of a fluid at a first opening includes a housing through which fluid passes, the first opening to be monitored, at least a second opening that empties into a chamber of the housing, and a sealing element that can shift or be moved, in a reversible manner, from one closed position in which it seals the first opening to at least one open position in which it releases the opening and allows fluid circulation. The sealing element is capable of being deployed in the chamber, and its movement is controlled by at least one activating element. The sealing element includes a moving body that forms a piston whose one end part is configured to seal the first opening and a portion of membrane is sandwiched between the end part of the moving body and at least the edge that forms a seat of the first opening.

  • Patent number: 7771502
    Abstract: An air-filter device for a motor vehicle, having a casing and a filtering body separating the clean and dirty compartment, and also having a supporting body for the filtering body and a compression body designed to co-operate mechanically with the supporting body, these bodies being mounted in the manner of sliding drawers in an intermediate mounting compartment; the contact surfaces in mutual sliding bearing of the support and compression bodies are inclined in such a way that the forced stress position leading to a compression of the seal of the filtering body is achieved by displacement of the compression body in the direction of extraction and in that the control device, bringing about this displacement, stresses the supporting body and/or the casing in order to achieve the displacement of the compression body in a forced stress position, at least at the end of displacement.
