Semi-impermeable closure device

A portable object includes a case forming a housing inside which is arranged a device that requires air to operate, and a closure device including at least one permeable element. The closure device is arranged to provide impermeability to liquids while allowing the atmosphere inside the housing to communicate with the external atmosphere. The case comprises a recess in which a through opening is made, the recess being closed by the closure device. The closure device includes a permeable module mounted to move such that, in a gaseous environment, the permeable module is in a rest position allowing gases to penetrate the case opening through the permeable module, and in a liquid environment, the permeable module is in an operating position in which gases and liquids are blocked. The permeable module comprises a tubular support at the end of which is fixed a membrane.

20190160849 · 2019-05-30 ·

A cover is releasably secured over an opening by an apparatus or a fastener system and may be used in a book-clock system having a clock movement housed within a space hollowed through the book's pages. A clock shaft protruding from the movement passes through an opening in a fastening element and then through a hole in the book's front cover. The clock shaft supports and moves the clock hands on the front. The fastening element may be a flexible strip. It may be positioned in a U-shape about the clock movement so at least a ferromagnetic part of the fastening element is adjacent to portion of the clock movement facing the back cover. A magnet is positioned on the back cover so when closed, the magnet meets the ferromagnetic part of the fastening element. A magnetic force is exerted and releasably holds the back cover of the book closed.
