Le dispositif de compliance passive (10) permet d’installer la fixation aveugle (2) sans capteurs. Figure pour l’abrégé : Fig. 1 A system and method for installing a blind fixation in a fixation site. - The system (1) comprises a device (4) for placing the blind fastener (2) in the fixation site (3), a traction and extraction device (12) for crimping the blind fastener (2) in the fixation site (3) and a passive compliance device (10) which connects the delivery device (4) to the traction and extraction device (12). The passive compliance device (10) allows the blind binding (2) to be installed without sensors. Figure for the abstract: Fig. 1

Structure for fixing pem nut

본 발명은 평판표시장치용 팸너트 설치구조에 관한 것으로, 강성이 향상된 평판표시장치용 팸너트 설치구조에 관한 것이다. 본 발명의 특징은 팸너트의 가압부의 일 끝단으로 가이드월을 형성하는 것이다. 이를 통해, 백커버와 팸너트의 체결력이 향상되어 시스템보드의 과도한 하중이나 강력한 외부충격에도 팸너트의 이탈이 발생하는 것을 방지할 수 있다. The present invention relates to a structure for installing a fem nut for a flat panel display, and to a structure for installing a fem nut for a flat panel display with improved rigidity. A feature of the present invention is to form a guide wall at one end of the pressing part of the fem nut. Through this, the fastening force between the back cover and the fem nut is improved, so that it is possible to prevent the fem nut from being detached even under an excessive load on the system board or a strong external shock.

PORTABLE TOOL WITH REMOVABLE HEAD

L'invention concerne un outil portatif (100) comportant un corps (102) creux délimitant deux chambres et comportant un épaulement (113) et un fût (112) s'étendant depuis l'épaulement (113), un vérin comportant un piston coulissant dans les chambres et une tige (110) solidaire du piston et logée dans le fût (112), une tête (114) en forme de C dont une première extrémité (116) forme un sabot (124) percé d'un alésage dans lequel s'emmanche le fût (112) et en appui contre l'épaulement (113) et dont une deuxième extrémité (118) est en regard de l'extrémité libre de la tige (110), et un système de fixation (120) comprenant une gorge réalisée sur le pourtour du fût (112), deux tiroirs (126a-b) montés coulissants sur le sabot (124) parallèlement à un plan de déplacement qui est perpendiculaire à l'axe du fût (112), où chaque tiroir (126a-b) présente un front (128) en arc de cercle et est mobile entre une position resserrée dans laquelle le front (128) se loge dans la gorge, et une position écartée dans laquelle le front (128) est en dehors de la gorge. La tête d'un tel outil peut donc être facilement et rapidement démontée et remplacée en fonction des besoins et ceci sans l'aide d'outil ou d'un technicien spécialiste. The invention relates to a portable tool (100) comprising a hollow body (102) delimiting two chambers and comprising a shoulder (113) and a barrel (112) extending from the shoulder (113), a jack comprising a sliding piston. in the chambers and a rod (110) integral with the piston and housed in the barrel (112), a C-shaped head (114), a first end (116) of which forms a shoe (124) pierced with a bore in which fits the barrel (112) and bears against the shoulder (113) and a second end (118) of which faces the free end of the rod (110), and a fixing system (120) comprising a groove made on the periphery of the barrel (112), two drawers (126a-b) slidably mounted on the shoe (124) parallel to a displacement plane which ...

PROVISIONAL AND REUSABLE FIXING DEVICE FOR THE PRE-ASSEMBLY OF AT LEAST TWO STRUCTURAL ELEMENTS PRE-PRINTED.

Patent FR2621511A1

Dans ce dispositif pour l'accostage et le maintien sous contrainte de deux éléments de structure à assembler, deux outils ou serre-flancs 4, 5 agissant en opposition pour serrer entre eux les surfaces à assembler sont portés par un anneau 1 sur lequel ils sont mobiles diamétralement, cet anneau étant lui-même porté par un support annulaire concentrique suspendu 2, dans lequel il peut tourner librement et qui peut être déplacé dans les trois directions de l'espace. Application à l'assemblage de pièces de forme complexe. In this device for docking and maintaining under stress two structural elements to be assembled, two tools or clamps 4, 5 acting in opposition to clamp the surfaces to be assembled together are carried by a ring 1 on which they are diametrically movable, this ring itself being carried by a suspended concentric annular support 2, in which it can rotate freely and which can be moved in the three directions of space. Application to the assembly of parts of complex shape.
