  • Patent number: 9526927
    Abstract: A breathing assembly for aircraft comprising a storage unit, a breathing mask and a releasable securing device. The storage unit has a guiding surface extending perpendicularly to an elevation direction and a maintaining element. The breathing mask comprises a rigid support having a sliding surface adapted to slide in contact with the guiding surface of the storage unit, along a sliding direction between a storage position and an exit position. The support further has a maintaining element. In the storage position, the sliding surface of the support is prevented from moving away from the guiding surface of the storage unit along the elevation direction at the distal end by engagement of the maintaining element of the support with the maintaining element of the storage unit.

  • Patent number: 5140289
    Abstract: This combined microwave and optic rotary joint has a fixed part and a rotating part in rotation about an axis .DELTA. in relation to the fixed part. It has at least one pair of microwave guide inputs, one of which is positioned in the fixed part while the other is positioned in the rotating part, these microwave guide inputs being coupled to each other by a coaxial link that is fixedly joined to the rotating part and placed in a conduit going through the fixed and rotating parts along the rotation axis .DELTA.. The core of the coaxial link is drilled with a longitudinal channel enabling the passage of an optic fiber fixedly joined to the rotating part. The end of this optic fiber goes through the fixed part and emerges in a case where it is coupled through an optic rotation plane to the end of another optic fiber fixedly joined to the fixed part.
