Abstract: A metallic sealing assembly between a rotating shaft and a fixed frame comprises: a flexible metallic seal having two tori, inner and outer, that are concentric and of different average diameters, comprising a metal envelope which encases and holds the inner and outer tori; a shaft rotating about an axis of rotation, comprising an annular shoulder against which the seal comes to press; a counter-face, comprising a contact face against which the seal comes to press; a wedge block positioned around the rotating shaft such that the seal is held between the wedge block and the contact face, the wedge block mounted to slide on the rotating shaft; a metal part which forms a cap through which the rotating shaft passes and which is secured to the frame and/or to the counter-face, the rotating shaft being free to rotate with respect to the cap and axially secured to the cap.

Abstract: This avalanche triggering system includes a portable unit configured to be carried by an operator, the portable unit comprising a gas storage device configured to store an oxidizing gas and a combustible gas; an explosion unit which is configured to be launched by the operator or to be transported by a drone and which includes a flexible envelope configured to be filled with an explosive gas mixture, the flexible envelope being deformable between a rest configuration in which the flexible envelope has a first inner volume and an inflated configuration in which the flexible envelope has a second inner volume which is greater than the first inner volume, the explosion unit further including an ignition device configured to trigger the explosion of the explosive gas mixture contained in the flexible envelope; and a control unit configured to remotely control the ignition device.

Abstract: A declutching device for a seed drill distribution element including a locking element and a support element on which the locking element is mounted, in which the locking element allows two stable positions relative to the support element and can be moved between these, the locking element being configured, when in a stable position, to be able to declutch the distribution element.

Abstract: An agricultural machine having a trailed chassis and a transverse bar in several portions extending substantially transversely to the direction of advance in the work position and extending substantially parallel to the direction of advance in the transport position, the transverse bar includes two portions able to be folded around a first respective articulation with a substantially vertical axis, each portion supports a seeder device made up of a hopper and a seeder bar. Each seeder bar is fixed on the corresponding portion using a second articulation with a substantially horizontal axis oriented parallel to the direction of advance in the work position.

Abstract: The seal comprises a casing made of two portions (1, 2) crimped into one another with an accurate hermetic position adjustment at interfaces (15, 6b) and a composite structure comprising inside the casing an advantageously flexible and resilient core (24) and a winding (20) of brush bristles. This structure directly extends facing internal faces (9, 10) facing each other in the casing, which compresses the same and has an arcuate shape having a slightly higher radius of curvature. The composite structure is held at an accurate position, firmly but free of constraint.
