Gilles Frechon has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Wrench with controlled tightening
    Patent number: 7036407
    Abstract: The invention provides an electronic wrench which includes means for measuring the instantaneous applied torque and means for measuring the instantaneous angle of rotation during tightening. The physical parameters of the screw connection for tightening and a setpoint value for the tightening are initially entered into the wrench via a keypad. During the tightening operation, the processor means calculate the instantaneous traction force on the screw fastener as a function of the measured instantaneous values of torque and angle and as a function of the recorded characteristics of the screw fastener.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: March 22, 2004
    Date of Patent: May 2, 2006
    Assignee: Snecma Moteurs
    Inventors: Alain Pyre, Gilles Frechon, Pascal Coudrier, Ange-Marie Guillemin, Christian Roure

  • Cellular hydrostatic fluid bearing, and a method of making it
    Patent number: 6532663
    Abstract: The hydrostatic fluid bearing comprises a cylindrical stator having orifices for introducing a fluid under pressure, on its inside surface the stator has a split ring constituted by an assembly comprising a plane metal plate and a layer of self-lubricating composite material. The layer of composite material has cells for surrounding orifices for introducing fluid under pressure, once the assembly has been put into place inside the stator.
