Abstract:
A lighting device (1) having a bulb-holder (5) made of synthetic, electrically-nonconducting material; possibly a transparent cover; a light source (6); and electronic control means (7) for controlling the light source; the light source (6) includes a high-efficiency, violet-tinged white-light, light-emitting diode (LED) (8), and possibly a reflector (9) formed integral with the bulb-holder (5); and the bulb-holder (5) defines a lighting fixture fittable to an inner wall (3) of a refrigeration compartment (2), and having means (16), typically a thermostat (17), for detecting and controlling operating parameters of the refrigeration compartment (2).
Abstract:
Device for controlling the gas-burner rings of a cooking surface including a gas tap equipped with a control knob and a catenary element for control of ignition of the gas-burner rings, the catenary element including a microswitch; the microswitch is actuated selectively by a bushing carried via snap action by an axially mobile element of the gas tap provided with said control knob, the bushing being made of a synthetic plastic material and including a sleeve for installation on said mobile element of the gas tap and a flange designed to bear upon said microswitch to actuate it as a result of a motion of translation of the mobile element of the gas tap; the bushing is internally provided with an indent and has a radial slit, which interrupts its continuity and in a corresponding angular position of which the bushing is also provided with a pair of opposed circumferential slots that interrupt the continuity of the indent.
Abstract:
A decelerating device (1) comprising a bushing (10) and a pin (11) carried in a co-axial position by said bushing, a first end of the pin being housed idle inside said bushing (10) and a second end of the pin, opposite to the first end, projecting axially in cantilever fashion from the bushing; said pin (11) being provided with first means of constraint to a first member (3), in particular to an oscillating door of the drum (2) of a top-loaded washing machine, and said bushing being provided with second means of constraint to a second member, in particular defined by the aforesaid drum; inside said bushing (10), between the pin and one internal side wall of the bushing, there being housed, alongside one another, at a pre-set axial distance apart from one another, one or more deformable annular gasket elements (25), on which said pin rotates idle in a frictioned way with respect to said bushing; each of said deformable annular gasket elements (25) preferably having, in radial cross section, in undeformed conditions, a peripheral profile defining at least one concavity (26).
Abstract:
An electric gas lighter (1) for generating sparks at one or more burners of a cooking range, and including a transformer having a primary winding, and a secondary winding divided into a number of coils (8), each having output terminals, and which are wound on respective axially adjacent portions of a substantially cylindrically symmetrical drum (10) forming part of a supporting member made of insulating material (plastic) and formed in one piece with supports (12) projecting tangentially with respect to the drum and each supporting a respective terminal (3) defined by a blade contact (faston type); the coils (8) are connected electrically to one another in series to form one secondary winding, which has been obtained by winding continuously, i.e. without making cuts, an insulated electrically conducting wire (20) onto the drum to form the coils; the wire being wound alternately onto the drum in an opposite direction for each coil (8); and the winding direction being inverted upon the wire engaging each terminal (3) located axially between two adjacent coils.
Abstract:
A cable clamping device (1) including a base (2) having a seat (3) through which one or more electric cables (4), e.g. supply cables of an electric household appliance, are housed; and a clamping member (5), which is insertable inside the base, crosswise to the seat, through a mouth (6) formed in the base and directly facing the seat, to clamp the cables against a bottom wall (7) of the seat; the clamping member (5) being secured to the base (2) by at least one screw, and by a jack device (18) including a rib (20) having transverse teeth (21) and formed in one piece with the clamping member (5) on the opposite side to a hole (24) for receiving the at least one screw (25), and a recess (22) formed in the base, alongside the seat, to receive the whole length of the rib (20), and having, internally, at least one elastically deformable tooth (23) located so as to click onto the transverse teeth.
