  • Patent number: 8375995
    Abstract: A protective device for a male end of a component of a threaded tubular connection for drilling and working hydrocarbon wells is externally provided with at least one threading and includes a free terminal portion. The device includes i) a protector body produced in the form of a first sleeve and arranged to protect at least a portion of the external threading and the free terminal portion, ii) a sealing element for positioning in contact firstly with the component, at least at a portion located downstream of the external threading of the male end, and secondly with the protector body to provide a first seal downstream of the external threading, and iii) a fixing mechanism displacing the sealing element and/or protector body radially towards the component, defining open and closed positions of the device in which the sealing element and/or the protector body are respectively not in contact and in tight contact with the component. Further, the first seal is obtained in the closed position of the device.

  • Patent number: 6257794
    Abstract: A sliding mount for a part made of plastics material and having at least one thin wall that is to be mounted in sliding manner on a support via its thin wall, the thin wall having an elongate opening therein with two longitudinal edges that are substantially parallel at least over a portion of their length, the mount comprising a spacer that is separate from the part, that is thicker than the thin wall, and that is suitable for sliding in the opening between the two longitudinal edges thereof. The spacer comprises an elastically deformable portion bearing slidably against the thin wall of the part when the spacer slides in the opening, the thin wall having a coupling shape organized in such a manner that when the spacer is in a privileged position relative to the opening, the deformable portion of the spacer couples with the thin wall.
