Abstract: The invention relates to a tablet testing device for testing tablets with at least one tablet testing station suitable for carrying out at least one test procedure, and preferably at least one apparatus suitable for receiving, and possibly also crushing, the tablet, and also at least one device for positioning a test specimen in accordance with the procedure. The device in accordance with the invention for positioning the tablet includes at least one movable positioning surface, preferably a flap, and at least one further surface that interacts with this positioning surface for the purpose of positioning the tablet.

Abstract: The invention relates to a musical box comprising: a comb (30) with a plurality of vibrating blades (3) of different lengths so as to produce audible sounds of different frequencies when the vibrating blades are vibrated; a plate or a cylinder (2) provided with points (20) so as to alternately vibrate the different vibrating blades (3) when the plate or cylinder is rotated; and a visual animation device (4, 5) actuated by said blades.

Abstract: Automaton capable of writing a signature formed of a series of characters or of stylized signature, wherein the automaton is housed in a volume of a case and operates by means of a system of three cams, wherein two cams encode the movements of a hinged arm carrying a writing instrument in the two dimensions of a writing plane, and wherein a third cam is used to raise or lower the hinged arm perpendicularly to the writing plane, wherein the hinged arm is movable between a first folded position and a second extended position in which the arm transmits to the writing instrument the movements imparted thereto by the system of three cams.

Abstract: Device (1) that can be integrated into a wristwatch case comprising a whistle (7) and a piston (11) for injecting air into the whistle (7) in order to imitate the singing of a bird.

Abstract: A wristwatch including a watch case; a clock movement in said watch case and a dial. At least one part of a three-dimensional figure above the dial can be caused to move in a plane non-parallel to the dial by a shaft extending above the dial in a direction perpendicular to the dial. A device for driving the figure is arranged below the dial to control the movements of this shaft. The figure can be formed by a mechanical bird.
