Patent number: 10895048Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2015Date of Patent: January 19, 2021Assignee: ArcelorMittalInventor: Michaël Gremling

Patent number: 10041269Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: April 2, 2015Date of Patent: August 7, 2018Assignee: ArcelorMittalInventor: Michaël Gremling
