Abstract:
A decelerating device intended to intercept an end-of-stroke part of a closing path of a mobile member, such as a furniture drawer or door, including: a body fastenable in use to an abutting surface for the mobile member and internally defining a sealed chamber filled in use with a viscous fluid; a pushrod at least in part overhanging from the body and being adapted to cooperate in use with the mobile member, the pushrod being integral with a stem slidingly accommodated in the body against the bias of elastic means between an extracted position of the pushrod and a retracted position; and a piston accommodated in the sealed chamber so as to divide it into two portions hydraulically connected to each other and mechanically connected to the stem; wherein the stem presents a first end integrally connected to the pushrod and a second end opposite to the first, both slidingly accommodated in the body outside the sealed chamber and f luid-tightly towards the sealed chamber itself; the piston is provided with a mobile sealing member to choke the hydraulic communication between the two portions of the sealed chamber only during the stroke of the stem towards the retracted position.
Abstract:
A device (1) installable on a carcass (4) of an electric household appliance at a side of a door (3) of the electric household appliance, parallel to a rotation axis (A) of the door, including a base plate (11) designed to be fixed, in use, to the carcass at an edge of a peripheral abutment (6) for the door parallel to the rotation axis (A) of the door, and a blocking plate (13) foldingly hinged to the base plate at a first side of the latter intended, in use, to be positioned parallel to the rotation axis of the door; one of the plates carrying a lock (16) adapted to engage, in a blocking position, the other plate, and the blocking plate being provided, on a side thereof parallel and opposite to the first side of the base plate, with a toe (20), which overhangingly extends towards the base plate and is shaped so as to be adapted, in use, when the blocking plate in said blocking position is arranged parallel to the base plate and against the same, to be inserted between the door and the peripheral abutment, in a position facing and adjacent to a peripheral seal (7) of the door, sandwiched in use between the door and the peripheral abutment.
Abstract:
A removable closing device (1) for a liquid food product container (2), having a neck (3) fixable in fluidtight manner to the container, and a removable cap (4) for closing the neck in fluidtight manner; the cap and the neck have mating, inclined-surface coupling means, in particular, screw means; the cap is cup-shaped, and includes a sleeve portion (5) having a threaded portion (6) and an end collar (7) which faces 'the neck in use; the sleeve portion having, between the threaded portion and the collar : weakening means (21) permitting, in use, elastic radial deformation of the threaded portion, so that the cap, at least the first time it is inserted, can be clicked onto the neck; and a tampering indicator (10) having shear-off stop means (11) which, in use, upon attempted removal of the cap from the neck, cooperate with and are sheared by mating stop means (12) on the neck (3).
Abstract:
A device (1) for damping vibration member (2) of an electric household appliance, in particular a tank/drum assembly of a washing machine or drier, having ballast (3) secured to the loading member (2); wherein the ballast (3) is defined by a flexible hollow body (4) capable of assuming a work position in which the hollow body (4) is looped; the hollow body (4) internally defining at least one fluidtight chamber (5), and having first fastening means (6) for fastening the hollow body (4) in the work position, and airtight sealable filling means (7) for feeding fluid into the chamber (5). of a loading
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:
A device for fast displacement of the position in height of a shelf (3) having an upper resting surface within a refrigerating cell (1) of an electrical household appliance, such as a refrigerator or freezer, including means for the coupling (12) with respective guides (4) for supporting the refrigerating cell arranged in a plurality of positions fixed in height within the refrigerating cell itself and adjustment means (14) of the pin-groove type set (16) between the coupling means and respective opposite lateral sides of the shelf for selective displacement of the shelf between a first position and a second position, set at different heights, with respect to the coupling means; in this way, the resting shelf can be coupled in use with a pair of guides set at a selected height in the refrigerating cell and can be displaced between two different heights with respect to that of the pair of guides simply by pushing the shelf itself upwards.
Abstract:
A device (1) for controlling an electric appliance (2) having a door (3), a main power circuit (6), and a switch (7) for automatically cutting off the main circuit (6) when the door (3) is opened. The switch (7) is a reactivatable magnetic switch, which selectively assumes a closed position and an open position respectively closing and opening the main circuit (6). The magnetic switch (7) is powered by an activating circuit (8), which is cut off when the door (3) is opened and a movable part (5a) of a hinge (5) supporting the door (3) is rotated. When the activating circuit (8) is cut off, the magnetic switch (7) is moved into the open position (7b) by the action of a spring (10) which keeps the magnetic switch (7) in the open position even when the activating circuit (8) is closed again. And turning the appliance (2) back on calls for direct manual intervention by the user, who, after closing the door (3), must reactivate the magnetic switch (7) by pressing a push-button (46), in opposition to the spring (10), to move the magnetic switch (7) into the closed position.
