  • Patent number: 7246965
    Abstract: A method of assembling a link to a support, the link comprising a body that is elongated along a longitudinal axis between a first sleeve and a second sleeve that are part of the body, the first sleeve surrounding an inner strength member mounted to move relative to the body of the link about an axis of rotation, by a flexible coupling interposed between the strength member and the first sleeve, a passageway passing through the inner strength member substantially along the axis of rotation and the support having a fixing tab provided with a fixing orifice, the method including a fixing step in which the fixing shank is engaged by force along the axis of rotation into the fixing orifice and into the passageway.

  • Patent number: 6652261
    Abstract: An injection press for molding pieces of elastomer comprises a fixed platen, a moving platen, and a turret carrying a plurality of molds, the turret and the molds being interposed between the two platens so as to be capable of being clamped between them in order to close the molds, and the turret being mounted to rotate so as to move each mold sequentially between an injection station, vulcanization stations, and an unmolding station. The press also comprises an injector device adapted to inject elastomer into each mold while it is in the injection station, heater devices adapted to heat the molds, and a control device adapted to move the moving platen and to cause the turret to turn.
