  • Patent number: 10189446
    Abstract: An end piece (100) for a wiper (102) provided with a rigidifying element (110) comprises a channel (120) for receipt of the rigidifying element, as well as first positioning stops (130), and a first means (150) for locking this element. The end piece comprises at least one second positioning stop (140) in order to cooperate equally well with a first or second type of rigidifying element with different dimensions. The first positioning stops (130) are operational when the first type of rigidifying element (110) is inserted in the channel, and at least one second positioning stop (140) is operational when the second type of rigidifying element is inserted in the receipt channel (120).

  • Patent number: 9841038
    Abstract: A system for supplying compressed air to a pneumatic network includes a load compressor, an air supply and a power shaft driving the load compressor. The system also includes in an air outlet of such load compressor, a connecting channel connected, on the one side, with a channel connected with the pneumatic network and, on the other side, with an air discharge conduct towards an exhaust nozzle. Air flow rate bleed valves are controlled by a processing unit via servo-loops as a function of the pressure sensors and the speed sensor.
