Patent FR-2716644-A1 (FR)
Inventor: MALONEY MICHAEL V
IPC: B60B7/02
Filed: 1995-02-27
Abstract: An improved vehicle wheel cover retention system and method for producing the same wherein the wheel includes a disc defining an outboard facing wheel surface and including an outboard tire bead seat retaining flange. The flange includes an outer surface having a circumferential, radially inwardly facing groove formed therein. The groove (40) is defined by a generally axially extending first surface (41) and a second surface (42) angled relative to the first surface. The wheel further includes a wheel cover covering at least a portion of the outboard facing wheel surface. The cover (13) includes an outer annular lip (52) which extends into the groove and is positioned adjacent the first surface. The groove (40) and the lip (52) have a configuration which enables the lip to spring outwardly into the groove when the cover is pressed on the disc. The method for producing the vehicle wheel includes the steps of: a) providing a disc defining an outboard facing wheel surface and including an outboard tire bead seat retaining flange, the outboard bead seat retaining flange including an outer surface having a circumferential, radially inwardly facing groove formed therein, the groove defining an inner diameter; b) providing a wheel cover (13) including an outer annular lip which defines an outer diameter which generally corresponds to the inner diameter of the groove; and c) moving the disc and the cover toward one another whereby the wheel cover initials deflects inwardly and then expands outwardly into the groove to secure the wheel cover to the disc.

Patent FR-2736101-A1 (FR)
Title: Parachute-driven wind or water generator producing electrical energy
IPC: F03B9/00
Filed: 1995-06-27
Abstract: The generator has a horizontal arm (1) with a large wheel (2,3) at each end. A cable or belt (4) runs over these wheels. Parachutes are attached to the cable at regular intervals along its length. The horizontal arm is directed into the wind or water flow so that the moving wind or water opens the parachutes along the one side of the installation, and the flow carries them to the wheel at the end. As the parachutes return they are folded closed by the oncoming wind or water flow, allowing them to return with minimum drag. A control vane (10) measures the direction of the flow and controls hydraulic actuators that direct the arm into the flow. The arm is mounted on a column or on a floating raft.

Title: Internal combustion engine with constant-volume independent combustion chamber
Inventor: NEGRE GUY
IPC: F02B15/00
Filed: 1997-04-14
Abstract: Procedure and devices relating to a cyclical internal combustion engine with a constant-volume independent combustion chamber in which, for each working cylinder or element, combustion chamber (1), combustion chamber (2) and expansion chamber (4) are made up of three separate, entirely independent parts. The cycle of the compression chamber is advanced in relation to that of the expansion chamber, in order to allow for lengthy combustion periods. The compressed carbonized mixture is introduced into combustion chamber (2) once its flap (6) has opened, shutting off a conduit (5) between the compression chamber and the expansion chamber; once flap (6) is closed, combustion takes place in the constant-volume independent chamber, which is isolated for an extended period. When the volume of expansion chamber (4) is at its lowest level, flap (8) is opened, shutting off conduit (7) between the combustion chamber and the expansion chamber, and the gases burned under high pressure expand, pushing back piston (15) and creating the working cycle. All engine applications are concerned.
