Abstract:
A door blocking device (1) including a retaining member (10) movable, along a given path, between a work position and a rest position, in which it respectively cooperates with and does not cooperate with a coupling member (8) of the door (2) when the door is in a closed position; and controlled-actuation means (11) for controlled actuation of the retaining member, and which include elastic means (13) for pushing the retaining member into the rest position; means (14) for moving the retaining member into the work position in opposition to the elastic means; a rotary member (15) having at least one radially projecting peripheral lobe (16) ; and an electrically controlled actuator (18) for moving the rotary member selectively between a first angular position, in which the at least one lobe does not interfere with the given path (T) , thus allowing the retaining member to move between the work position and the rest position, and a second angular position, in which the lobe interferes with the given path to lock the retaining member (10) in the work position in opposition to the elastic means.
Abstract:
Guiding cork-and-clamp device for supporting and retaining an electrical cable (or a bundle of electrical cables) in a hole of the casing of an electrical household appliance; the device includes: a sleeve-like body, which is designed to fit with play inside the hole and defines a seat for through housing of one or more electrical cables; and a cable-clamping element carried by the sleeve-like body and provided with control means for being displaced in the seat in a direction transverse to an axis passing through said seat. The cable-clamping element presses radially on the cable to grip it tightly against an internal side wall of the sleeve-like body, said sleeve-like body being formed by at least one pair of sectors, which can be coupled together circumferentially by constraint means designed to allow a possibility of relative movement of the sectors in a radial direction with an amplitude comparable to that of the play existing between the sleeve-like body and the hole; in use, the radial pressure exerted by the cable-clamping element on the cable creates a reaction on the sectors such as to cause them to move away from one another to an extent whereby at least part of the play existing between the sleeve-like body and the hole is recovered, thus clamping the sleeve-like body and the cable to the casing.
Abstract:
A drawer container device that can be inserted in a refrigerated cell to define a separate compartment, including at least a shelf (5) provided with means of mating (8) with the respective side walls of the refrigerated cell in a first position such as to define, immediately below the shelf, a first predetermined volume and at least one cup-shaped drawer (4) delimited by at least one side wall placed transversely to the shelf and located in a position beneath the shelf with its concavity facing the latter, the shelf being selectively moveable between the first position and a second position located at a different height from the first and in which the shelf delimits a second predetermined volume beneath itself; the side wall of the drawer being defined by a pair of adjacent elements (16,18) sliding relative to each other and placed parallel to and at least partially facing each other; regulating means (20) of the pin-and-groove type being interposed between the relatively sliding elements to selectively position them such that the side wall substantially occupies the entire height of the first and second predetermined volumes; in this way, the volume of the compartment can be varied by simply lifting the side wall of the drawer (4) and the above shelf (5).
Abstract:
A closing device (1) for the door (2) of an electric household appliance (2a), in particular a dishwasher, wherein a latch (5) is fitted to the door (2) to rotate, in opposition to elastic means (7), about an axis of rotation (R), and to cooperate with a catch (6) fixed to the electric household appliance (2a), and activates a switch device (9) disabling operation of the electric household appliance when the door (2) is open; according to the invention, the latch (5) has, in an eccentric position with respect to its axis of rotation (R), a first constraint member (12) for the elastic means (7), a second constraint member (14) for which is fitted integrally to the door (2); the elastic means (7) being extensible along a work axis (D) connecting the first and second constraint member and lying at all times in a plane perpendicular to the plane containing the axis of rotation (R) of the latch (5); and the latch selectively assuming, by virtue of the elastic means (7), a first and a second position, in which it does not directly activate and, respectively, does directly activate the switch device (9), and in which the work axis (D) is located above and, respectively, below the axis of rotation of the latch (5).
Abstract:
A cable clamping device has a body (2), having a base (4) and a seat (5) for receiving an electric cable (6); and a clamping member (3). The clamping member (3) has a cam profile, and is movable angularly, with respect to the body (2), between a first position, in which a cable (6) can be slid inside the seat (5), and a second position, in which the cable (6) is gripped against a wall (7) of the seat (5).
Abstract:
A device including: a board for supporting electronic components and supporting an electric circuit for mutual connection of the electronic components; and at least one terminal for electrically connecting the circuit and a respective insulated electric wire having an inner conductor covered with a coated and/or applied insulating sheath; the terminal being defined by a metal blade forming part of the circuit and which is carried integrally by the board and projects from a first face of the board. The blade is so formed as to define means for mechanically retaining and electrically connecting the electric wire, and which act on an end portion of the inner conductor.
Abstract:
An electronic gas-lighting device having a casing made of insulating material; electronic high-voltage-pulse generating means including at least one transformer having a secondary winding, the ends of which are connected to respective high-voltage terminals; and assembly means for removably fitting the insulating casing to a supporting surface of a conducting metal body element of an electric household appliance, in particular a cooking range with gas burners; the casing including a cup-shaped body housing the at least one transformer, and a box portion which is formed integrally with the cup-shaped body, houses at least part of the electronic high-voltage-pulse generating means, and is fitted directly with respective supply contacts located on the box portion to form a supply terminal board, which is connected exclusively to the electronic high-voltage-pulse generating means, and to which are connectable the wires of a supply cable.
