Abstract: A faucet with pull-out dispenser comprising a tubular body that is adapted to accommodate a flexible element to which the dispenser is fixed at one end, the tubular body comprising snap-acting elements that are adapted to retain detachably, by elastic deformation, the dispenser in the position in which the flexible element is fully retracted into the body.

Abstract: A method for trimming loose threads in circular knitting machines, comprising the steps of: starting from an initial pattern and on the basis of a given type of circular knitting machine, if one wishes to trim the loose threads, measuring a distance between needles of the same color on a same row in order to check whether the distance is at least equal to, or greater than, a minimum distance that allows to perform trimming of the loose threads; if the distance is shorter than the minimum distance, replacing a portion of the pattern with at least one special color that identifies a different type of knitting process for the portion of pattern, to be performed on the circular knitting machine; modifying the pattern on the basis of the replacement of the portion of pattern; producing an advancement by a number of rows equal to the number of drops of the knitting machine that are active; and encoding the pattern with the modifications, in order to perform the knitting process.

Abstract: A pull-out kitchen sprayer, comprising a central body accommodated within an outer enclosure, designed to convey water between an inlet associated with a flexible water feed hose and an outlet disk that comprises a central passage and peripheral passages, and comprising a switching device, and two elements constituted by the central body and by the outlet disk that are provided with arrangements for mutual locking with the interposition of a raised portion that protrudes from the internal surface of the enclosure, to lock the enclosure with respect to the elements.

Abstract: A method for automatically feeding the metal profiles in bar form entails gripping a set of the metal profiles from a magazine for collecting said profiles and transferring the set of metal profiles into a raised position and arranging the raised metal profiles on a movable transfer device provided with separators for separating the metal profiles, at which a preset number of metal profiles to be fed, at each work cycle to the machine arranged downstream, is conveyed transversely and counted; the metal profiles are transferred, in counted number, onto auxiliary supports arranged to the side of the transfer device and actuated gradually along the longitudinal axis of the metal profiles.
