  • Patent number: 11635135
    Abstract: A plug for closing an opening of a casing, the plug including a solid hub, with central axis, as well as a retaining member which ensures the axial attachment of the plug in the opening, the plug including a play-compensating carriage, which is distinct from the hub and which is movably mounted on a guiding support borne by the hub, the guiding support being arranged in such a way as to axially retain the carriage and to guide the relative movement of the carriage with respect to the hub in a direction termed the “play-compensating direction” transverse to the central axis, a spring-type resilient member, arranged between the guiding support and the carriage, and an orientating member arranged so as to orientate the plug, and consequently the play-compensating direction defined by the guiding support, in azimuth around the central axis, according to a predetermined orientation with respect to the casing.

  • Patent number: 11124221
    Abstract: A plug including a hub which extends along a central axis and is defined radially by a side wall wherein an annular groove is formed, which receives a sealing member, the groove provided between a bottom wall and first annular edge wall, and a second annular edge wall, which axially define the groove, the hub being formed by the combination of a first hub section on which the first edge wall is formed, and a second hub section on which the second edge wall is formed, the first hub section and the second hub section being assembled so that they meet at a gasket face which is secant to the central axis and the bottom wall of the groove, so the line of the intersection of the gasket face with the bottom wall is contained axially between the first and second edge wall over the entire perimeter of the groove.

  • Publication number: 20210053608
    Abstract: An assistance module for a power steering system of a motor vehicle, including a reducer casing in which is mounted a reducer including an output shaft provided with a pinion, the output shaft being rotatably mounted inside the reducer casing by means of at least one mechanical rolling bearing carried by a bearing provided on reducer casing between the tangent wheel and pinion, the mechanical rolling bearing having several rolling elements kept at a distance from each other by a separation cage, rolling elements and separation cage being disposed in an annular rolling bearing space formed between a coaxial internal and external ring, the assistance module includes at least one blocking element having at least one stop surface facing the annular rolling bearing space at a distance such that at least one of the stop surfaces prevents an ejection of the separation cage out of the annular rolling bearing space.

  • Publication number: 20210001917
    Abstract: A power steering system for a motor vehicle, including: a steering module including a steering casing inside which a steering rack is slidably mounted; and an assist module including a reducer casing fastened on a dome of the steering casing and inside which a gear reducer is mounted, including a worm screw driven by an assist motor and which meshes on a worm wheel linked in rotation to an output shaft with a pinion engaged with the steering rack and rotatably mounted in a rolling bearing carried by a bearing on the reducer casing, and a blocking nut is screwed inside the bearing in abutment against the rolling bearing, this nut being disposed facing an inner face of the dome from which at least one end stop protrudes opposite to the nut at a distance (DJ) allowing the nut to stop in the case of loosening.

  • Publication number: 20050267983
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method that uses the routing functions of an internet-type protocol by introducing a mechanism assigning prefixes to the IPv6 addresses of the network routers such that the self-configuration process of said protocol can be used due to a mechanism that utilizes a serializer (E). Said serializer (E) delivers the prefixes according to an operational sequence comprising, for each router, an initialization phase, a configuration phase, and a relay phase in which the router is used as an intermediary between the serializer and other routers that are in the configuration phase.

  • Publication number: 20040172479
    Abstract: The invention concerns a method for simultaneously operating at least two tunnels on at least a network. It includes, at the intermediate node, a sequence comprising retrieving all the tunnel headers (step E8) and, if required, reassembling the original packet from its fragments (step E7), processing operations corresponding to one or more functions, performed on the original packet (step E3), optionally fragmenting once more the packet which have been processed (step E11) and restoring the headers of the tunnels (step E14).
