  • Publication number: 20230097974
    Abstract: A method for assembling a ring by shrinking the ring onto a shrink-fitting surface of a part, the shrink-fitting surface being turned radially away from a reference axis, the part having a free upper end and an inner wall extending around the reference axis turned radially toward the reference axis and extending axially while delimiting at least part of an axial cavity. The method including the steps of forming, on the inner wall, splines extending axially; shrinking the ring on the part so that a lower transverse face of the ring comes into abutment against a shoulder of the part. After the step of forming the splines and prior to the step of shrinking the ring onto the part, radial elastoplastic expansion of an upper portion of the part results in a widening of the shrink-fitting surface and of a portion of the splines.

  • Patent number: 10393131
    Abstract: The rolling bearing for a blade root includes an outer ring (13) and an inner ring (12). An inner space (43) is defined between the inner surface (33) of the outer ring (13) and the outer surface (25) of the inner ring (12). At a distal end (46), the inner space (43) is closed off by a distal sealing system (47) between the outer ring and the inner ring. A system (57) for retaining the distal sealing system (47) includes a retaining body (58), and a thread/tapping system provided on a peripheral assembly surface of the retaining body and on a peripheral surface of the facing inner or outer ring. The retaining body (58) is screwable into a retention position in which an axial abutment surface (61) of the retaining body forms an axial stop for the distal sealing system longitudinally (B), in the proximal->distal direction.

  • Patent number: 6467195
    Abstract: A high boot having, on its bottom part that surrounds the foot, a lace-tightening device whose strands are alternatively crossed by means of returns, from one edge to the other of the upper to be adjusted on the foot. The strands of the lace are directed so as to converge from the instep zone up to the top portion of a tongue provided with a guiding double tunnel, via two semi-flexible sheaths. The tightening device of the boot leaves the flexion fold zone free and can be controlled in tightening from the edge of the top portion of the upper.

  • Patent number: 6339867
    Abstract: A device for fastening a flexible tie has a hollow body provided with a guiding channel that forms a funnel for a translationally movable blocking element, this blocking element being subject to the constant action of an elastic element. The hollow body is housed in a case where it can move translationally parallel to the blocking element, and the blocking element is maintained in the case, on one side by virtue of the elastic element that acts directly between the blocking element and the case, and on other side by virtue of an abutment. A retractable abutment makes it possible to retain the hollow body against the blocking element to block the tie, or to release this hollow body so as to enable the sliding of the tie. The fastening device is particularly adapted to ensure the adjustment of a garment or a shoe by means of a tie, such as a lace.

  • Patent number: 4572190
    Abstract: A hyperthermia apparatus primarily applicable to the treatment of tumors comprises at least three high-frequency generators connected to three electrodes. The electrodes are intended to be coupled to a patient's body which constitutes the load, thus producing a higher temperature rise in the vicinity of a fictitious electrode in the body. The generators have adjustable phases and amplitudes, the output of each generator being connected to each of the three electrodes.

  • Patent number: 4229657
    Abstract: The invention relates to a .gamma.-ray irradiation head for panoramic irradiation comprising a tungsten target revolving about an axis, and means for deflecting electrons around the same axis for producing photons in several directions either successively or simultaneously. When the beam of electrons is deflected in its entirety and when the impact zone moves on the target about the axis, the axis of the radiation lobe moves in the same way and permits irradiation according to a variable azimuth.
