  • Publication number: 20090272868
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a device for rapidly mounting a mechanical assembly on a support. The device comprises at least one mounting module (3) having a male part (22) mechanically fixed to the assembly (1) and a female part (21) mechanically fixed to the support (2), the male part (22) fitting into the female part (21), the female part having a thrust system (25, 26) locking the male part (22) against a wall of the female part (21) once the male part has been fitted thereinto. The invention relates notably to the mounting of a tool on a support, for example a vibrating support, notably for a testing station.

  • Patent number: 7131623
    Abstract: The invention relates to the field of mechanical holding systems for devices with appreciably flat element. This is a device comprising: at least one appreciable flat element (4); the surround (1) intended to receive the element (4), the surround (1) comprising two parts (2, 3) intended to trap a portion of the element (4) between them in a direction (Y) roughly orthogonal to the mean plane (XZ) of the element (4) via at least one elastic gasket (7, 8); a mechanical system for holding the relative position of the parts (2, 3) of the surround (1) one with respect to the other; the parts (2, 3) of the surround (1) and the mechanical holding system being structured and arranged in such a way as to be able to hold several relative positions of the parts (2, 3) of the surround (1) one with respect to the other in a direction (Y) roughly orthogonal to the mean plane (XZ) of the element (4). The invention is, for example, applied in liquid crystal display devices.
