Abstract: This connection device (D) comprises a shaft (17) which is mobile in translation, a piston (19) integral with the shaft (17), a sleeve (35) which extends around the shaft (17), this sleeve being movable between a rear position and a forward position, and locking members housed in the sleeve (35), each locking member being movable relative to the sleeve between a locking configuration and a release configuration. The shaft (17) is movable between a disconnected position in which the shaft (17) does not oppose movement of the locking members to their release configuration, and the sleeve (35) is in the forward position, and a connected position in which the shaft (17) opposes movement of the locking members into their release configuration and the sleeve (35) is in the rear position, through an intermediate position, in which the shaft (17) opposes movement of the locking members into their release configuration and the sleeve (35) is in the forward position.

Abstract: This multi-couplings plate (P1) includes a locking device comprising a frame (14) fixed on the plate (P1), locking members and a drive mechanism, comprising a rotary element (18) rotatable in the frame (14), a sliding element translatable relative to the frame (14) and which cooperates with the locking members. The locking device also comprises several ratchet notches (301-309) secured to an element (18) of the drive mechanism (16) and juxtaposed in the movement direction relative to the frame (14) of the element (18) of the drive mechanism, the ratchet notches (301-309) comprising a final notch (309) and at least one intermediate notch (303-308), and a pawl movable in a housing (326) of the frame (14) and pushed back by a spring (28) toward one of the ratchet notches (301-309).

Abstract: An electrical connection assembly includes a female element having at least one electrical contact and a male element to be inserted in the female element and which includes a plug and a sleeve that surrounds and is movable relative to the plug and at least one electrical contact is carried by the plug and is electrically engageable to the electrical contact of the female element. An external surface of the sleeve has at least two stages with diameters which are smaller in a direction toward a free end of the male element and the female element has a body with an internal surface having at least two stages with diameters which are larger in a direction toward a mouth of the female element and such that the at least two stages of the external and internal surfaces seat with one another when the male element is inserted into the female element.

Abstract: An assembly and method for connecting a movable plate to a fixed plate for connecting hydraulic, pneumatic and/or electric circuits and wherein the movable plate and the fixed plate have matching connector elements. The movable plate includes at least one centering component capable of interacting with the fixed plate. The assembly includes an actuator having a fixed support, a movable component for moving the movable plate relative to the fixed support, between a first retracted position corresponding to a disconnected state of the plates and a second position corresponding to a connected state. The assembly also includes a device for moving the movable plate relative to the actuator, and the movable plate and the fixed support respectively have at least one positioning member and at lest one positioning component which interact to position the movable plate relative to the fixed support when the movable plate is in the first position.

Abstract: The invention relates to a female element (2) that comprises at least one terminal conduction component and a receptacle (20) for receiving a body (10) of a male element (1) along a longitudinal direction (X2-X?2). The female element (2) has a proximal portion (210) fitted to receive an electric power cable (C2). The receptacle (20) includes a guiding chamber (205) for said body (10) in translation along said longitudinal direction (X2-X?2), and at least one guiding edge for guiding said body (10) revolving around an axis (X1-X?1) of said body (10), the one or each guiding edge being disposed, along said longitudinal direction (X2-X?2), between said guiding chamber (205) and the one or each terminal component. The guiding chamber (205) has a cylindrical form with a circular base circumscribed on a triangular base of the body (10) of the male element (1).

Abstract: This electrical connection assembly includes a female element which includes at least one electrical contact, and a male electrical connection element intended to be inserted in the female element.
