Abstract: Removable roofing system comprising a motor inserted inside a drum (2), a cord, a compensation device (4), two rigging rails (5a, 5b), at least one guide arch (6a) and removable roofing, the at least one guide arch (6a) being connected to the cord and to the removable roofing, and being designed so that each of its ends slides in a rigging rail (5a, 5b), the cord passing along each rigging rail (5a, 5b) and through the compensation device (4) and being connected at its two ends to the drum (2) so that the rotating of the drum (2) by the motor causes the cord to move in a direction dependent on the direction of rotation of the drum (2), deploying or retracting the removable roofing by moving the at least one guide arch (6a), each rigging rail (5a, 5b) being equipped with at least one end pulley (21a, 21b) and with at least two corner-block deflecting pulleys (20a, 20b, 23a, 23b) which are designed to guide the cord from the compensation device towards the at least one end pulley (21a, 21b), and the compensatio

Abstract: Geared motor comprising a planetary gearset (2) coupled to an output shaft of a motor (3), comprising a cylindrical casing (4a, 4b, 4c) isolating the geared motor (1) from the outside, and a hollow shaft (5) connected to the stator of the motor (3) and aligned with the output shaft of the planetary gearset (2).

Abstract: The invention relates to an appliance for simulating the chewing action of a mammal, said appliance comprising two elements (21, 22) simulating a mobile lower maxilla and a fixed upper maxilla. The two elements are formed by two parallel disks (21, 22) aligned on a common axis (A-A?), a face of each disk, facing the other disk (21, 22), being provided with at least one raised part (31, 33) projecting from said face. The appliance comprises means (16, 17,18,19) for driving at least one (21) of said disks in relation to the other disk (22), rotationally about the common axis (A-A?) and in translation (12,13,14) parallel to said axis.
