Abstract:
A hinge for a spectacles frame, comprising a front-face element, a side element and a connecting element connecting said front-face element to said side element, said connecting element comprising a base member, mounted in the side element, and a head member, housed in the front-face element, the base member being articulated directly to said head member about a vertical first axis of articulation, the head member of the connecting element being articulated directly to the front-face element about a horizontal second axis of articulation.
Abstract:
The frame includes a front surface (10) that is extended by two side tenons (12) and two arms (30) that are hinged onto the tenons (12) about the hinge axes (X-X′) of two hinges (50). The hinges (50) each include a front surface element (51) that rigidly connected to a tenon (12) and an arm element (52) that is rigidly connected to an arm (30). Each arm (30) is set up such as to pass, through rotation about said hinge axis (X-X′), from an open position for which said arm extends the tenon (12) to a closed position for which said arm is clamped into the front surface (10). In at least one of the hinges (50), the hinge axis (X-X′) is substantially perpendicular to the tenon (12) and to the arm (30). The front surface element (51) and the arm element (52) are set up such as to provide, between said tenon (12) and said arm (30), a space (60) for freely passing from the open position to the closed position.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a spectacle frame having two temples that are articulated by two telescopic hinges, each with a front face element and a temple element, which has a slide (123) articulated to the front face element and mounted so as to slide in a sheath (125) counter to and under the action of a spring (126). The slide (123) extends as far as the free end of the temple (15) that provides said sheath (125). A sleeve (130), mounted on the slide (123), slides in the end of the temple in which said spring (126) also extends. The temple is produced in two parts, namely a main part (115) and an end that forms an end piece (117) in which the spring (126) is disposed. The end piece (117) is mounted so as to be able to rotate with respect to the main temple part (115) in order to adjust the tension in the spring (126).
Abstract:
The spectacle frame includes a frame front extended by two lateral tenons and two sides articulated to the tenons about articulation pins of two telescopic hinges, each with a frame front element fastened to a tenon and a side element fastened to a side, the side element of a hinge including a slide articulated to the frame front element and slidably mounted in a sheath against and subject to the action of a spring. The slide extends as far as the free end of the side, of tubular shape and providing said sheath, a sleeve, fixed to the end of the slide, being slidably mounted in the end of the side in which said spring also extends to cooperate with the sleeve.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a hinged device having a free end intended to support a cantilevered load, the device having at least a first element and a second element that are connected by a hinge comprising a cylinder secured to said first element and a housing secured to said second element, which are hinged together about an axis of said cylinder, the hinge having at least a first tension spring and a second tension spring, each tension spring having an end connected to the second element and an end connected to the cylinder of the first element at a fastening point, the fastening points of the tension springs being separate from one another and situated away from the cylinder axis so as to generate a torque about said cylinder axis between the first element and the second element in order to oppose the torque brought about by the cantilever.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a motor vehicle having three motors, i.e. an electric motor, hydraulic motor, and heat engine, and to a method for managing the energy stored onboard. The three motors (19, 25, 15) are particularly used for driving the vehicle, and are associated with means for storing electrical energy (21), hydraulic energy (28, 29), and fossil energy (18), respectively. The heat engine (15) is arranged so as to be connected in series and so as to recharge the means (28, 29) for storing hydraulic energy, but not the means (21) for storing electrical energy. During travel, the means (21) for storing electrical energy is not recharged by the heat engine (15) which can recharge the means (28, 29) for storing hydraulic energy of the hydraulic motor.
Abstract:
The side (1) includes an articulation front end (2) adapted to be articulated to a frame front face via a hinge (5) and a free rear end (3), a core (6) extending inside the side. One of the front and rear ends of the core (6) is anchored (8) in one of the front and rear ends of the side and the side includes, fixed to it, driving and shaping means (11, 16) for driving the other of the ends of the core, movably mounted in the other of the ends of the side and to deform the side and thus to modify its contour and curvature.
Abstract:
A spectacle frame includes sliding hinges which enable the arms to move from a stable open position, in which the end (306) of the arms is parallel to the end (313) of the endpiece (307), to an unstable wide-open position, by pivoting around a support point (311) belonging to a coincidence plane (P,P′) which passes between the knuckles (C1, C2) of the hinges. The frame, which has a plane of symmetry (X,X′), is characterised in that the support point (311) is located closer to the plane of symmetry (X,X′) of the frame than the outer face (309) of the arms at the coincidence plane (P, P′).
