  • Publication number: 20220341228
    Abstract: A locking handle mechanism for windows is provided, the mechanism comprising a main body, a handle, a slider and snap fits. The slider comprises a slot housing part of the handle and side slits housing part of a locking mechanism of the window. The fork is displaced to lock and unlock the window by the rotation of the handle from a first position to a second position. Having two side slits allows for the installation of the mechanism on either side of a window frame. The main body may be installed to a window frame by piercing an appropriate hole and by securing with snap fits to the inside surface of the frame. Methods for installing and uninstalling a locking handle mechanism in a casement are further provided.

  • Publication number: 20120110361
    Abstract: The invention relates to a device for controlling a computer (4) capable of being powered with a plurality of voltage levels, including a controller (2) arranged so as to receive charge data (Ci), deadline data (Ni), and instantaneous speed data (w) for said computer (4), in order to calculate a reference speed that enables said computer to nm an amount of calculations drawn from the charge data (Ci) in a period drawn from the deadline data (Ni), and to calculate a control voltage level (V_lvl ) and operating frequency (f_op) for said computer from said reference speed. At least one element from among the reference speed and the operating frequency (f_op) is calculated using the instantaneous speed data (w).

  • Patent number: 7448605
    Abstract: A controllable hydraulic vibration-damping support comprising two strength members interconnected by an elastomer body defining a working hydraulic chamber, an auxiliary hydraulic chamber communicating with the working chamber via a constricted passageway, a pneumatic chamber separated from the auxiliary chamber by a moving wall, an electrically controlled vent device for establishing a connection to the air, which device can be actuated electrically in order to put the pneumatic chamber into communication with the atmosphere, and a check valve allowing air to flow only out from the pneumatic chamber towards the atmosphere.

  • Publication number: 20050188620
    Abstract: A balance shoe mounts on a pair of cross bars in a rigid U-shaped channel by an upward facing slot on the shoe receiving one bar, and a downward facing channel on the shoe containing a resilient hook that hooks over the other bar as the shoe is rotated on the first bar to the bottom of the channel, a spring and pulley system in the channel supported by a cord attached to the window frame supports the sash along the vertical travel length of the sash. The sash is supported by a cam in the shoe that is turned by a pivot arm on the sash that is rotated by the sash as the sash rotates in and out of a window frame. The cam forces brake surfaces against the track to prevent vertical movement of the sash along the window frame when the sash is rotated out of the frame.

  • Patent number: 6523816
    Abstract: Active hydraulic anti-vibration mount comprising two support elements connected by an elastomer body partially delimiting a working chamber filled with liquid, this working chamber communicating by a throttled passage with a compensation chamber separated from said working chamber by a rigid partition. The rigid partition is penetrated by a first regulating nozzle closed by a movable exciting device, and a second regulating nozzle closed by a valve the movements of which are limited to correspond to an amplitude of variation in the volume of the working chamber which is less than 20% of the amplitude of the variations in volume generated by the exciting device.

  • Patent number: 6446947
    Abstract: This anti-vibration mount, comprising a base and a head connected by an elastomer body, is intended to be interposed between two rigid elements to damp the vibrations between these two elements, on a central axis. This mount comprises a non-extensible limiting cable forming a loop, which is fixed to the base and to the head, this cable comprising a first part which is supported on the head by winding around it and which extends towards the base from the head, and a second part which runs along at least a first portion of the periphery of the base and winds around at least a first return element integral with the base, level with two joints between this second part and the first part of the cable, the cable being restrained by the return element.

  • Patent number: 6236296
    Abstract: Electromagnetic actuator including a mobile magnetic member made up of stacked ferromagnetic plates and two fixed electromagnets for reciprocating the mobile magnetic member along a central axis. The ferromagnetic plates each have two opposite edges parallel to the central axis which are crimped to two rigid transverse strips. Elastomer bodies join each transverse strip to a fixed spacer.

  • Patent number: 6199842
    Abstract: An anti-vibration support is provided having two rigid frames linked to one another by an elastomer body which is applied against a rigid partition to delimit a hydraulic working chamber connected to a compensating chamber by a throttled passage. The rigid partition has a flexible membrane inserted between the working chamber and a pneumatic chamber controlled by a solenoid. The solenoid is mounted on a support block which also incorporates a pneumatic coupling and an electrical connector, this support block having an annular flange which delimits the pneumatic chamber and clamps the flexible membrane against the rigid partition.

  • Patent number: 5911412
    Abstract: The hydraulic antivibration support has two rigid strength members interconnected by a bell-shaped elastomer body, a flexible elastomer wall connected to the second strength member, and a rigid partition secured to the second strength member and defining both a working chamber on its elastomer body side and a compensation chamber on its flexible wall side. These two chambers are filled with liquid and are connected to each other via a narrow channel, via a central nozzle fitted with an axially movable shutter, and via an annular flap disposed around the central nozzle between two grids. One of the grids is axially slidable and is connected to the shutter so as to block the flap when the shutter is open.
