Abstract: Binding device wherein a support structure (2) houses a pack of sheets provided with through-holes (133) aligned along a rectilinear edge of the pack. The structure moreover carries a binding member comprising a flat sheet-like rectangular member (100) showing, along a side thereof (100a), a plurality of flexible tongues (107) arranged combwise and a closure member (110) extending along the side (100a). The binding device is provided with a bending wall (70) mobile with respect to the pack and adapted to realize the bending of tongues portions projecting from the pack on an end flat member forming a first face of the same pack. A pressing device (90) further realises bending of the closure member (110) to arrange the closure member (110) on bent tongues (107) and on the end flat member (130b) thereby forming a bound fascicle.

Abstract: Plastic panels are thermoformed to include a variety of three-dimensional features resembling masonry patterns, various types of walls, and fencing sections. The thermoformed panels are incorporated into fencing and wall assemblies. A fencing assembly includes plastic panels thermoformed to resemble a plurality of stakes. Panels are disposed between a pair of posts with side portions configured to overlap. Each stake includes a top return projecting rearwardly. Horizontal reinforcements couple the panels to the posts. A double-sided wall assembly employs plastic panels thermoformed to resemble bricks and other wall patterns. Each sub-assembly includes a pair of panels coupled to a frame in a back-to-back arrangement. The sub-assemblies are disposed side-by-side in between a pair of posts.

Abstract: A ski boot, in particular a ski-mountaineering or telemark boot, having a shell made of plastic material; a shank hinged to the shell; and a control mechanism, located at the rear portion of the boot, for controlling the tilt of the shank and having a lever hinged to a projection of the shank and movable between a work position in which one end cooperates with a rear projection of the shell to prevent rearward rotation of the shank, and a release position. The control mechanism has a ring hinged to the lever and engaging a recess formed in the rear projection of the shell to also prevent forward rotation of the shank with respect to the shell.

Abstract: A valve assembly having a cap defining a first and second fluid flow passage for allowing the flow of fluid is attached to a seat member which is coupled to an actuator. A plunger having an adjustably attached diaphragm is maintained within the seat member and the actuator, and the plunger positions the diaphragm over the first and second fluid flow passage. The actuator controls the plunger and determines the retraction of the plunger to allow fluid flow and the insertion of the plunger to prevent fluid flow.

Abstract: A machine for bending pipes (2; 63; 78) sections or similar of a given section (S1; S2; S3) has a guide device (6) having a longitudinal axis (9) for guiding the pipes (2; 63; 78) in a feed direction (D1) parallel to the axis (9); and a bending member (7) movable with respect to the guide device (6) in a plane (P1) perpendicular to the feed direction (D1), and having an annular guide (50), which has a passage section (45; 61; 76) for the pipes (2; 63; 78) substantially equal to the section (S1; S2; S3) of the pipes (2; 63; 78) and is defined by rollers (40; 52; 82; 67) rotating about respective axes (41; 53; 83; 68) lying in a plane coplanar with the passage section (45; 61; 76).

Abstract: A machine for bending sections (2) having a longitudinal axis (3) and a constant cross section along the longitudinal axis (3) feeds the sections (2) longitudinally in a first direction (D1), and has a first and a second annular die (11, 12); an ass (15) connected to the second annular die (12) and movable in a plane perpendicular to the first direction (D1) to move the second annular die (12) into a number of operating positions with respect to the first annular die (11) to bend the sections (2); and a joint (22; 39) connecting the first and the second annular die (11, 12), and which forces the second annular die (12) to assume a given position with respect to the first annular die (11) for each position assumed by the assembly (15).

Abstract: A water well filter apparatus includes a conduit with multiple layers. The conduit comprises an inner layer, middle layer and outer layer with each layer comprising a composite of polymers, preferably ABS and unplasticized PVC. The thicker middle layer also includes a higher proportion of ABS than the other layers for rigidity and heat deflection. The inner and outer layers have a higher proportion of UPVC for greater chemical and impact resistance. The conduit further includes slots and mating end portions enabling the conduit to be coupled end-to-end with additional conduits to form an elongated filter assembly. A dual cylinder apparatus comprises an inner conduit and an outer conduit with each conduit having an inner layer, middle layer and outer layer composed of a composite of polymers. A permeable cover is disposed over the inner conduit. Filter granules are disposed in the gap between the two conduits.

Abstract: In combination with a jack having a head, a removable adapter assembly includes an adapter frame and three-degree-of-movement adapter arms. The adapter frame has threaded holes and a connector for releasably attaching the frame to the head of the jack. The adapter is preferably rectangular. The three-degree-of-movement adapter arms are rotatably inserted into a respective one of the threaded holes for raising and lowering each of the arms with respect to the frame. The arms each have a threaded portion with a top end, a horizontal head portion having a closed slot, and a cushioned receiver. The head portion is fixedly attached to the top end of the threaded portion and the cushioned receiver is rotatably and slidably mounted in the slot.
