Publication number: 20220087355Abstract: A helmet having an outer shell defining a convex outer surface and an opposite concave inner surface circumscribing an inner cavity to receive the wearer's head is provided. The helmet has an inner liner connected to the outer shell and located in the inner cavity, where the inner liner contacts the wearer's head when the helmet is worn. The inner liner includes a padding arrangement including a plurality of padding substructures disposed at selected locations in the inner cavity, where at least one of the plurality of paddings has a shear resistance along a shear direction lower than a compressive resistance along a compressive direction, where the compressive direction extends transversally to the shear direction. The helmet also has an attachment device for securing it on the wearer's head.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 13, 2020Publication date: March 24, 2022Inventors: Eric WAGNAC, Yvan PETIT, Nicolas BAILLY, Jean-Michel DESROSIERS, Théo CUMILLON

Patent number: 8454609Abstract: An acetabular reamer comprising: a body defining a rotation axis about which the acetabular reamer is rotatable; a reaming element movable between a reaming element inner position and a reaming element outer position relative to the body; an actuator for moving the reaming element between the reaming element inner and outer positions; and a reaming element lock configurable between a locked configuration and an unlocked configuration. In the unlocked configuration, the reaming element is freely movable by the actuator between the reaming element inner and outer positions. In the locked configuration, the reaming element lock prevents the reaming element from moving relative to the body. In use, when the reaming element lock is in the locked configuration and reaction forces are exerted onto the reaming element, a larger portion of the reaction forces is transmitted to the body than to the actuator.Type: GrantFiled: August 21, 2008Date of Patent: June 4, 2013Assignee: École de Technologie SupérieureInventors: Yvan Petit, Julio Fernandes, Jean-Sebastien Merette, Mathieu Dansereau, Victor Songmene, Mathieu Carrier
