  • Patent number: 11918503
    Abstract: A structure includes a first frame having a shape to fit around, or over, a body part, the first frame further comprising a first surface configured to dock with a docking surface of a second frame configured to receive and support the body part. The structure also includes a material attached to the first frame for fitting to the body part; and at least one attachment mechanism coupled to the first frame and configured to attach the first frame to the second frame when the first surface of the first frame is docked with the docking surface of the second frame, wherein the at least one attachment mechanism is configured to flex or pivot, relative to a lateral edge of the first frame, to attach the first frame to the second frame when the first surface of the first frame is docked with the docking surface of the second frame.

  • Patent number: 7874333
    Abstract: A tread (1) comprising a plurality of grooves of longitudinal and transverse general orientation (2b, 2c, 31, 32), the grooves of longitudinal orientation comprising main grooves (2b, 2c) of depth G and secondary grooves (31, 32) of depth G? less than the depth G of the main grooves, the central part (C) of the tread, defined axially by two grooves of longitudinal orientation, and of a width of between 0.25 and 0.5 times the width W of the tread, being provided with at least one main groove (2c) of longitudinal orientation and of average depth G. The depth G? of the secondary grooves (31, 32) is between 0.4 and 0.6 times the depth G of the main grooves (2b, 2c). The transverse grooves (5c) of the ribs of the central part (C) comprise over at most half of their length a connecting bridge (6c), the surface radially to the outside of which is at a distance Hc from the running surface of between 0.4 and 0.8 times the depth G of the main grooves.
