  • Patent number: 9617956
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for controlling the ingress of intake gases to an engine, notably an internal combustion vehicle engine comprising cylinders, said device taking the form of a compartmentalized guide piece (6), each compartment (9) comprising a main duct (4) and a secondary duct (5) for gas, characterized in that the control device comprises a multitude of modules (8) each one delimiting a main duct (4) and a secondary duct (5), and in that the modules (8) constitute separate components designed to be fitted together.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8746094
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for converting a rotational movement into a translational movement, said device comprising: a first element (303) that is rotated around a stationary center of rotation (401) by a rotation means (301); a second element (307) that is translated along a translation axis (311) by rotating the first element (303); a cam (305) that is rigidly connected to the first element (303), said cam (305) having a cam channel (306) in which a roller (308) moves, wherein said roller is rigidly connected to the second element (307). Said device is characterized in that the cam channel (306) has an inner surface (402) for contact with the roller (308), said roller (308) being in contact (500) with the inner contact surface (402) when the first element (303) is rotated in a first rotational direction (404), said inner contact surface (402) defining a curve of the type developing from a circle.
