Title: Coupling device for connecting an implement to a working machine
Inventor: SONERUD AKE
IPC: E02F3/36
Filed: 1997-02-17
Abstract: The invention relates to a coupling arrangement for coupling a working implement to a working machine and being of the kind in which the two coupling parts are mutually connected both mechanically and hydraulically with no manual handling of the coupling arrangement. The machine-mounted coupling part includes drive means (10, 24) for moving associated hydraulic coupling connection means into coupling engagement with hydraulic coupling means (19) on the implement-mounted coupling part, when coupling the machine and implement. According to the invention, the hydraulic coupling connection (19) on the implement-mounted coupling part is movable in the direction of maneuvering movement of the hydraulic coupling, and is moved by the drive means (10, 24) via the hydraulic coupling connection (14) on the machine-mounted coupling part until coming into abutment with an abutment means (6) on the machine-mounted coupling part. The arrangement includes springs that function to exert a pressure that is opposed to this movement. The arrangement ensures that the clearance required for this mechanical coupling will not prevent effective and positive connection of the hydraulic couplings.

Abstract: An outboard motor stow pivot bracket is disclosed for stowing a motor in a generally vertical orientation while mounted on the transom of a dinghy which itself is swung beamwise (on beam ends) from a horizontal, in-the-water position up into a generally vertical stowed position on the back of a carrier boat such as on the stern of a pleasure craft. The pivot bracket includes a channel structure sized to fit on the motor-support edge of the dinghy transom and has outside surfaces adapted to receive the standard transom clamp of an outboard motor. At opposite ends of the channel structure are a pair of complementary pivot journals, and a pivot bolt connects a selected one of these pivot journals to a support structure on the dinghy transom in a universal construction that allows the user to assemble the bracket for pivoting in one direction or the other, depending upon the desired orientation of the motor and of the dinghy in their stored positions. A locking toggle connected between the channel structure and support on the dinghy transom locks the channel structure and the clamped motor in the stored position pivoted 90 degrees to the support edge of the dinghy transom.

Title: Electro-optical device, notably for optical distribution
Inventor: CAYREFOURCQ IAN
IPC: G02F1/313
Filed: 1998-11-23
Abstract: A multilayer structure  (S,1-3)  is surmounted by parallel primary  lines  (4-1,  4-2)  which  define,  in  the  regions situated below them, waveguides operating according to a first propagation mode.  At least one electro-optical control means (E-1) is placed at a selected location between each pair of primary lines and, under certain conditions, enables the local existence of a second propagation mode affecting the two regions together, so that the transfer of the first mode between the two guides which enclose it can be controlled by acting on the second mode.  This makes it possible to produce an energy distributor based on a so-called "cascade" architecture.
