    This paper proves a Noether's theorem for nonholonomic systems with unilateral (inequality) nonholonomic constraints of non-Chetaev type. Given an infinitesimal symmetry preserving the dynamical equations (written as Euler-Lagrange's type equations), a conserved quantity is constructed. An inverse version of this theorem is also proved. The paper finishes with an example illustrating the results. The style of the paper is sometimes confusing (possibly due to the translation). Standard and straightforward calculations are carried out in local coordinates.
