Abstract: A respiratory protection hood having a sealed flexible shell including a pressurized oxygen vessel provided with a calibrated output opening leading into the inside space of the flexible shell and a device for trapping at least one portion of the carbon dioxide exhaled by the user that includes a cartridge for adsorbing carbon dioxide having a perforated tube arranged around a volume of carbon dioxide absorbing material. At least one portion of the perforated tube being arranged around the volume of absorbent material in direct communication with the inside space of the hood.

Abstract: Full hood respirator comprising a fluidtight flexible bag intended to be slipped over the head of a user, the flexible bag being provided with a transparent window and comprising, in its lower part, a rigid base element of annular overall shape intended to be positioned around the neck of the user, the base element comprising a tubular oxygen reservoir of pressurized oxygen provided with a calibrated outlet orifice opening into the internal volume of the flexible bag, characterized in that the base element comprises at least two rigid parts connected by an articulation, the two parts being movable relative to one another between a furled first position that prevents a head from entering the hood through the base element and an unfurled position of use that allows a head to enter the hood through the base element.

Abstract: The invention relates to a respiratory protection hood which comprises a sealed flexible shell including a pressurized oxygen vessel provided with a calibrated output opening leading into the inside space of the flexible shell and a device for trapping at least one portion of the carbon dioxide exhaled by the user, comprising a cartridge for adsorbing carbon dioxide with a radial structure comprising a tubular body extending in a longitudinal direction and covering a volume of material which absorbs carbon dioxide, said structure of the cartridge comprising a perforated tube arranged around the volume of absorbent material and extending in the longitudinal direction to allow the transit of air to be purified radially in the volume of absorbent material, at least one portion of the perforated tube being arranged around the volume of absorbent material in direct communication with the inside space of the hood.

Abstract: The invention relates to an air-separation device comprising a generally cylindrical casing housing a filtration element including a bundle of hollow oblong fibers forming a membrane, the longitudinal axis of the fibers being parallel to the longitudinal axis (A) of the cylindrical casing, said casing comprising an air inlet at a first end and an outlet for purified gas at a second end. The device comprises a member for maintaining the fiber bundle in the casing, characterized in that the maintenance member comprises at least one spring member disposed inside the casing, said spring member being loaded between an end-stop formed by the casing and a longitudinal end of the fiber bundle in order to maintain the fiber bundle longitudinally in place while allowing it to dilate and contract.

Abstract: The invention relates to a control handle for a public works vehicle, comprising a core having an inner cavity. According to the invention, control elements are mounted to said core, said elements comprising buttons and/or sliding members which are intended to be actuated by an operator in order to enable the different functions of the vehicle to be controlled. In addition, at least part of the surface of the aforementioned core is covered with a casing comprising one layer of at least one low-pressure-cast thermosetting polymer foam.

Abstract: A control lever for a manipulator, used in particular for heavy construction machines, comprising a frame defining a cavity, and at least one control button which is actuated by an operator in order to control hydraulic jacks, characterized in that at least one control button comprises at least one lower insulating layer and one upper insulating layer placed on top of each other, whereby a lower conducting layer is fixed to the lower layer, and a second upper conducting layer is arranged opposite the first where the control button is arranged, both elements being separated in the absence of pressure exerted by the finger of the operator and being able to enter into contact when the pressure exerted when the pressure exerted by the finger of the operator is transmitted to the upper layer, whereupon said upper layer becomes deformed and transmits said movement to the upper conducting element, whereupon the contact between the lower conducting elements and upper conducting elements closes an electric circuit gen
