anglais vers français Technique / Génie Brevets (in a patent) LEGGED MOBILITY EXOSKELETON DEVICE WITH ENHANCED ACTUATOR MECHANISM EMPLOYING MAGNETIC/ELECTRICAL COUPLING

The ferrous plug housing may be mechanically keyed on its outer diameter to
matched keying features present in a bore defined by the actuator output reel. The keying features are undersized on the ferrous plug housing to allow for the entire
ferrous plug to float slightly within the output reel.

The magnet polarity between the terminal receptacle and a magnetic plug may be alternated in a way that provides magnetic keying which disallows improper mating alignment of the driven component and the actuator assembly. This magnetic keying provides for self-aligning components.

an outer diameter of the non-conductive housing of the first magnetic and electrical coupling includes surface keying features for mechanical keying of the first magnetic and electrical coupling within the rotating driving member.

In this way, the magnetic/electrical coupling system has magnetic keying that actively forces the two components apart if the user is attempting to make the coupling in the wrong orientation or with an incorrect alignment of the terminal receptacle 210 and the magnetic embodiment of the plug 60.
