  • Publication number: 20230080669
    Abstract: A length-adjustable connecting rod is disclosed having a longitudinal axis comprising a connecting-rod shank provided with at least one internal thread, at least one connecting element comprising an external thread cooperating with the internal thread of the connecting-rod shank, the screwing or unscrewing of the connecting-rod shank with respect to the connecting element allowing the length of the connecting rod to be adjusted, and at least one resisting torque device between the connecting-rod shank and the connecting element, the resisting torque device comprising at least one pressing element and a bearing element, the pressing element exerting a force on the bearing element that opposes a resistance to the rotational movement of the connecting-rod shank with respect to said connecting element. The bearing element is integral with the connecting element and the pressing element is integral with the connecting-rod shank.

  • Publication number: 20170137982
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a nonwoven that includes superposed plies of fibers, such that a binder web is positioned between two plies and heat sealed to the at least two plies, and that it is not stitched. The heat sealing of the plies makes the nonwoven extremely solid and sets the orientation of the fibers, which can no longer move during the processing of the nonwoven. The fibers are, in fact, held by weld points that are non-continuous and are distributed over the entire surface, unlike stitching.

  • Patent number: 8206531
    Abstract: The object of the invention is a process for the production of a tube of high stiffness, characterized in that it comprises the following steps: producing a first internal tube (10) of a first material, placing intermediate members (12) on this first tube, regularly spaced, these intermediate members being made of a composite material producing at least one second tube (14) of a second material, about these intermediate members, at least one of the first or second tubes being made by filamentary winding. The invention also covers the obtained tube.

  • Publication number: 20070193676
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for producing a highly rigid tube, characterized by the following steps: producing a first inner tube (10) from a first material; forming cross-members (12) on this first tube, which are uniformly distributed and made from a composite material; producing at least one second tube (14) from a second material around these cross-members, at least one of the first or second tubes being made by filament winding. The invention also relates to the tube obtained thereby.
