Abstract: The invention relates to a device for inserting inside tires of a vehicle so that it follows its course without stopping after a bursting. The device comprises a cluster of flexible bladders (1) which are made of rubber, have a diameter of one to several inches according to the use, are interconnected by a cord (2.1) with its distribution branches (2.2, 2.3) and an inflating stem (3). The air enters each bladder via the cord by means of a very sensitive mini-check valve (9). During inflation, the air contained inside the space of the tire is purged via a purging system (6, 7, 8). In one variant, the principle of the valves, cord and purge is retained, but there are fewer bladders and they have the shape of sections of the tire. Bladders that are resistant to depression can also be used with the same valves and purge but without a cord. The refilling ensues by an over inflation step followed by a reduction effected by the purge until the operating pressure is reached.

Abstract: The device used for collecting information on the condition of a sewer network. It includes a set of observation devices mounted on a floating housing (1) introduced in the sewer pipe flow and connected by the rear (8) to a check cable which the operator can unreel from the surface of an upstream manhole, and is completed by display, control and optional recording systems on the surface. The on-board devices comprise a pan and tilt surface camera housed behind a glass dome (2), a bottom camera (3), distance detectors (6 and 7), a system transmitting wireless signals (5), lights, and batteries (4). The signals run along the inside of the pipe to a receiver located at a manhole and from there are transmitted to the station on the surface. The components are compact, reliable and preferably derived from mass-produced devices such as video surveillance cameras, computers or video screens.

Abstract: Device that uses the force of one or several persons to help a stuck vehicle get free. It comprises a set of chains of blocks (2) to put in front of the wheels and that are connected by straps (3.6) to a system that will pull them under the wheels while pushing the car by reaction. The forces come from a lever system consisting of a main bar with a triangular part fixed underneath and near its front end. When the operator lifts the bar, the displacement of the extremities of the triangular part away from the wheels creates a pull on the straps while the front end of the bar pushes the car. The blocks become the fulcrum of this lever system. Alternately, a winch fixed on the car bumper pulls on the straps via deviation rollers or rings, transmitting the reaction pushing forces to the car rear part.

Abstract: Device used to free a vehicle that is stuck in terrain or to reduce such risk through the use of an additional tread disposed parallel to each wheel of the vehicle. The additional tread can be an air chamber (2 or 10a and 10b) covered or not with a tire (11) or a band comprising different coupling profiles (13, 14 or 15). The tread is mounted onto an anti-sink rim comprising a conical profile (1.2) and a flange (1.1) centered in and applied against the outer side of the wheel disc by special bolts (6) inserted in respective openings in the flange and rim. The diameter of the system is smaller than that of the wheel to facilitate mounting and to avoid interference with the vehicle body. The conical shape of the rim profile (1.2) lends stiffness and enables the rims to be stacked for reduced storage volume in trunk.

Abstract: Universal sole designed to help a user adapt his walking or running gait to the surface over which he is moving or to the peculiarities of his individual leg/foot System by individually adjusting the hardness and thickness of several areas of the sole. Each area consists of one or more layers of a flat coil of elastic extensible airtight and optionally reinforced rubber tube which may be flattened or inflated beyond its nominal diameter as a function of the pressure introduced by the action, as the user walks, of a small pump located inside the sole underneath the user's heel and adjustments and isolations performed manually with a System of valves built into the thickness of the sole. The coils, the valve System and the pumping System are either located and bonded between layers of foam containing the impression of the coils and filling the spaces between laces or placed in a mould or in a sole in the shape of a boat, a filling material then being introduced to fill the empty spaces.

Abstract: The invention relates to road roller skates for travelling on average quality roads, comprised of a semi-rigid high-top-shoe (3) fixed to a supporting sole (4) at a height of 50 mm above the ground and fitted with angle brackets (4b and 4c) to which the rotation axis of a front wheel (1) is fixed, this front wheel having a large diameter (150 to 300 mm) and being situated to the outside of the foot next to the toe joints, and to which the rotation axis of a rear wheel (2) is fixed, this rear wheel having a medium diameter (100 to 150 mm) and being situated to the inside of the foot next to the heel. The large diameter of the wheels makes it possible to handle defects in the terrain. This arrangement confers its stability to the skate, and front and rear rubber blocks (6, 5) placed under the sole (4) can be pressed against the ground by rotating the knees.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device using force of one or several persons comprising a lever arm which consists of a bar (1) and an effort transmission triangle (1.2) and points fixed to a ground for pushing the vehicle rear part (1.4) in such a way that it is moved from mud. Said fixed points are formed by blocks (2) inserted under the wheels and anchored to the ground by the vehicle weight. The inventive device essentially comprises a main bar (1) consisting of abutment elements (1.1), a triangle (1,2) provided with end rings (1.7), a laddle (1.6) resting on the ground, straps or cables (1.9) tensioning the bar in such a way that it operates under tension, a joint and a vehicle hooking point (1, 4), strips, rods and blocks. The blocks (2) are placed before the wheels and are connected to the rings of the triangle through the connecting rods (3) and strips (3,6). The bar lifting force is transformed into a rear push and the vehicle progression.

The additional tread can take the form of an air chamber (2 or 10a and 10b) which may or may not be covered with a tire (11) or of a band comprising different coupling profiles (13, 14 or 15). Said tread is mounted to an anti-sink rim essentially comprising a conical profile (1.2) and a flange (1.1) which is centered in relation to, and applied against the outer side of the rim of the vehicle wheel using at least three bolts having special heads (6), which are inserted and coupled in respective openings in the flange and rim. The diameter of the system is smaller than that of the wheel in order to facilitate mounting and to reduce the risk of interference with the body of the vehicle. The conical shape of the rim profile (1.
