Abstract: The inventive self-adhesive and sealed device having a deformable structure enables, for example, a skier provided with a portable cellular telephone (a) connected to a transmission/reception interface (b) and to an earphone/microphone set (c) to transmit or receive telephone calls without taking off his gloves and without handling the portable telephone thereof. The keyboard is fixable to a support (a vehicle panel board, a motorcycle tank, clothes, on a flat part of ski) by means of an adhesive element (1) disposed on the lower face of a flexible pad (2). The pad is sealingly covered by an elastic shell (3) which comprises large keys (4) and a transparent window on the external face thereof. The sealed chamber which is formed by the pad and shell contains a battery, an electronic system for transmitting and receiving signals allocated to the interface of the portable telephone of a user and electric connections for said components.

Abstract: The connection or coupling between two equipments such as pipes (1 and 2) by a clamp (17) involves the use of a second clamp (8), tightened around the fixed pipe (1) and carrying a cradle (9) for supporting the clamp (17). This arrangement makes it possible to place the coupling parts in succession and to release them immediately afterwards. The cradle (9) also prevents the clamp (17) from tilting when its clamping screw (22) is turned. Finally, a sleeve (27) maintains the extension position of the pipes (1, 2), while also centering the sealing joint (32). All these advantages make it possible to correctly and easily assemble the parts with a single remote manipulator in the hot cells of nuclear installations.
