  • Patent number: 11781526
    Abstract: A mast section (1) including a wall includes two tubular mast elements (14) stacked and arranged edge to edge at a joining plane (P), each element (14) comprising two wall segments (16) connected by segment connectors (26) extending along the longitudinal edges of the segments (16). The mast section (1) comprises element connectors (36) each extending across and connecting the elements (14) together. The element connectors (36) are arranged either on the inner surface (12) and outer surface (13) of the wall and the segment connectors (26) are arranged on the other surface, each element connector (36) extending at least partially opposite at least one of the segment connectors (26) in a radial direction of the mast section (1) such that the wall is placed between said element connector (36) and the segment connector (26).

  • Patent number: 11198981
    Abstract: A protection device (5a) for motorcyclists, adapted to be secured to a road safety barrier (1) with a plurality of poles (3) regularly spaced out, the protection device (5a) including a longitudinal beam (6a) and a spacer (7a) extending longitudinally alongside the rear side of at least one part of the beam (6a) and adapted to be secured to the poles, wherein the beam (6a) and the spacer (7a) are assembled together so as to define, in the part of the beam, a longitudinal damping volume (V) with a closed cross-section.

  • Patent number: 10895048
    Abstract: A spacer for a road safety barrier is provided. The spacer includes a rail support having a front face to be fastened to a rail, a rear face to be fastened to a post and a flange that connects the front face to the rear face. The front face includes a connector housing and a weaker area connecting the connector housing to the upper edge of the front face, the mechanical resistance of the weaker area being strictly lower than the intrinsic mechanical resistance of the constituent material of the remaining part of the front face of the rail support. The spacer also includes a rail guide including a fastening area for fastening the rail guide to a post above the rail support, a connecting piece and a rail reinforcement area for fastening the rail guide to the reverse side of the rail.

  • Patent number: 10041269
    Abstract: The present invention provides a tower section for a wind turbine which includes at least two tower elements stacked and arranged edge-to-edge at a joining plane, each tower element includes at least two wall segments, connected to one another by first connectors. The tower section further includes second connectors each extending astride the two adjacent tower elements along the longitudinal direction. Each second connector extends in the longitudinal extension of a first connector and has a width increasing, from the first connector, from a first width substantially equal to the width of the first connector to a second width strictly larger than the first width, the second width being reached before the joining plane starting from the first connector.
