Abstract: A safety belt device with a winder/unwinder, especially for an automobile. This device comprises a continuous belt strap, one end of which is fixed to an anchorage point on the vehicle structure and the other end of which is connected to a strap winder/unwinder. The structure of the vehicle is equipped with an attachment means with which the said strap is adapted to cooperate by sliding to provide, under the condition of use of the device, a subabdominal portion and a cross-belt portion which come from the said winder/unwinder. The said anchorage point includes a buckle component which is customary for safety belts and is adapted to be activated directly or indirectly so as to provide separation of the strap end which is fixed to the anchorage point from the structure of the vehicle, this occurring without touching the stop.

Abstract: A deflector for heat exchanger tube is provided which enhances exchange of heat between the various portions of the liquid flowing in the tube. It comprises a tail piece offset laterally relatively to the body of said deflector which prevents it from being swept away by the liquid, said tail piece being adapted to come into abutment with the edge of the tube.

Abstract: Fitting of a fluid temperature switch unit of the kind including an enclosure having an end face at one end and a bimetal disc at the other end, in a chamber containing a fluid and having a wall comprising a recess having a bottom-face formed with an opening leading into the chamber. The bottom-face is covered by a metal plate, and the opening is sealed by urging the metal plate toward the recess wall, while the end of the unit containing the bimetal disc is pressed against the metal plate.

Abstract: A control valve of the type comprising a rotatable distributing member having a distributing surface having a plurality of coaxial ribs intersected by radially extending rib portions projecting on the distributing surface and engaging a smooth surface of a stationary valve body to define therewith a plurality of coaxial part-annular channels for selectively interconnecting selected ones of a plurality of passages bored through the valve body and opening in the smooth surface. The distributing member is retained in engagement with the valve body by a corrugated spring washer clamped between the outer face of the distributing member and a cap or hood member fastened to the valve body, and the spring washer is fastened against rotation relative to the cap member, while the outer face of the distributing member has a plurality of recesses for receiving the corrugations of the spring washer to hold the distributing member in any one of several angular positions.
