| Number | Title | Issue Date |
| 5145047 | Flexible production system comprising individually motorized mechanical modules whose operation is selected and synchronized by electronic means The production system comprises a lift and carry device (6) and a handling unit (9) each actuated by an electric motor (13, 14), the two motors being synchronized. The rectangular walking beam lift and carry cycle of the products (1) is perfected by modul... | 09/08/1992 |
| 5062525 | Production machine incorporationg a high-speed lift and carry device with double walking beam, and the production system implementing this type of machine A production machine equipped with two walking beam lift and carry devices forming two parallel tracks, a main track and a branch track. Transfer of a part from the branch track to the main track is achieved by a handling unit synchronized with the walkin... | 11/05/1991 |
| 4695913 | Shunt effect low voltage circuit breaker A circuit breaker, notably breaking the phase and neutral circuit, contains a shunt circuit, constituted by a switching electrode disposed in proximity to the phase contacts to pick up an arc drawn between these contacts, when opening occurs on a short-ci... | 09/22/1987 |
| 4039983 | High-speed high-current circuit interrupter having electrodynamically operated arcing contacts High-current, current-limiting circit interrupter having arcing contacts connected in parallel with the main contacts. Impetus means open the main contacts strikingly to switch the short-circuit current to the high-resistance arcing circuit. Electrodynami... | 08/02/1977 |
| 4001738 | Circuit interrupter having an electromagnetic repulsion device Circuit interrupter having a magnetic circuit energized by the current flowing through the interrupter and an induction plate that is movable with the movable contact of the interrupter. The abrupt rising of a fault current induces secondary currents in t... | 01/04/1977 |
