Patent ID: 7946011

Claim:
A device for fitting an elastic element, including a closed loop around a rectilinear element, with the device comprising: at least one upper arm, equipped with a means for hooking an upper portion of the closed loop of the elastic element at a first end of the at least one upper arm with the upper arm being mounted, by a second end of the at least one upper arm, to pivot around an axis A, at least two lower arms, each equipped with a means for hooking a lower portion of the closed loop of the said elastic element at a first end of the at least two lower arms with the lower arms being mounted, each by a second end of the at least two lower arms, to pivot around the axis A, rotations means, around the axis A, of the upper arm, in a first direction of the rotation and of the lower arms in a second direction of rotation opposite to the first direction of rotation, from a first loading position to a second fitting position of the elastic element, wherein, in a first part of rotation, firstly the first end of the upper arm, and secondly the second ends of the lower arms, move away from each other, and then, in a second part of rotation, the first end of the said upper arm approaches and passes between the second ends of the lower arms.
