Abstract: The contact is sealed when disconnected and compliant when connected. It comprises at least a contact body in which the following are positioned: a transmission means held in a support at the end of which a ferrule is positioned, the seal between the ferrule and the transmission means being provided by filling with a sealant product. A sealing means is provided between the ferrule and the contact body, said means creating a seal between the ferrule and the contact body when the contact is disconnected and allowing the mechanical isolation of the ferrule relative to the contact body when the contact is connected.

Abstract: The invention relates to an alignment socket supporting system for connectors, such as optical connectors, comprising: the assembly of parts, allowing more than one alignment socket to be secured in a pre-determined manner and the extraction and insertion of all of the alignment sockets simultaneously without dismantling the assembly, and locking means for locking the system once inserted.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for assembly of a crystal and a bezel for use of the crystal as vibrating and radiating element, according to which unconnected junction zones are determined and form the only mechanical link for transmission of vibrations of the bezel to the crystal, on which zones the crystal is secured on the bezel to transmit to the crystal any vibration communicated to the bezel. Outside these zones the crystal is held without direct contact with the bezel. The invention also relates to a crystal-bezel assembly unit for a timepiece comprising junction zones that form the only mechanical link for transmission of vibrations from the bezel to the crystal to cause the crystal to resonate under the action of the vibrations, and outside said junction zones the crystal has no direct contact with the bezel. The invention also relates to a timepiece comprising such a unit.

Abstract: The invention relates to a process for assembly of a crystal and a bezel for use of said crystal as vibrating and radiating element, according to which unconnected junction zones are determined and formed that together form the only mechanical link for the transmission of vibrations of said bezel to said crystal, on which zones said crystal is secured on said bezel in order to transmit to said crystal any vibration communicated to said bezel, and outside these zones said crystal is held without direct contact with said bezel. The invention also relates to a crystal-bezel assembly unit (1) for a timepiece comprising junction zones (4) that together form the only mechanical link for the transmission of vibrations from said bezel (3) to said crystal (2) to cause said crystal (2) to resonate under the action of the vibrations, and outside said junction zones (4) said crystal (2) has no direct contact with said bezel (3). The invention also relates to a timepiece (100) comprising such a unit (1).
