Abstract: A machine for the preparation of finished food items, such as, for example, pasta, is disclosed. The machine comprises a first receptacle within which the pasta is cooked, a second receptacle within which a pasta sauce is prepared, and a transfer structure for transferring the pasta from the first receptacle to the second receptacle such that the pasta can be mixed with the pasta sauce, all internally within the machine.

Abstract: A machine for preparing pasta in single portions comprises dosing means for dosing the pasta and at least a raw material suitable for dressing the pasta, a series of cooking pots (2) including an upper part (8) of the series of pots (2) for pre steam cooking the raw material suitable for dressing the pasta, and a lower part (11) of the series of pots for the separate cooking of the pasta in boiling water and of the dressing in a saucepan (15), a mixing pan (30) and means for the transit of the cooked pasta and of the dressing from the series of cooling pots (2) to the mixing pan (30).

Abstract: A self-emptying bag having a quick coupling buckle assembly, in particular for shoulder-strap, has a buckle assembly (4) comprised of two parts (40, 41) that are respectively fixed to two sections (201, 202) of a shoulder-strap (200) of a bag so that a snatch on the bag, through the flexible transmission (30), operates the release mechanism and causes the expandable sack to be inflated to upset outside the contents in the bag. Flexible transmission (30) is connected to a coupling member (91) movable inside the first part (40) of the buckle assembly (4). The two parts of buckle are formed in such a way that first the second part (41) can be detached from the first part (40), and then the second part (41) can be detached from the coupling member (91) after a traction has been exerted on the coupling member (91).

Abstract: A piercing apparatus for piercing a small compressed gas bottle to quickly inflate an expandable sack (1) comprises a small gas bottle (6), a housing (20) carrying in an inner chamber (21) thereof a piercing element (7) having a bit (72) provided with an axial passageway (73) communicating with the sack (1), and a release mechanism (8), being charged by a counteracting spring (89) to push the piercing element (7) against the small bottle (6). The release mechanism comprises a release element, being connected to a flexible transmission (30) of control means (3), as a protuberance (87), and the piercing element (7) is fixed on a front end of a collet chock (70), which is provided with fingers (88) to grip the protuberance (87). The collet chock (70) is slidable between a gripping condition and a releasing condition of the protuberance (87) upon the operation of control means.

Abstract: Ejection device to expel objects from the inside of a bag in the event of a bag-snatching, the bag comprising an expandable sack below a lining (400), a compressed gas feeder (2) including an elongated housing (20) operatively connected to the expandable sack (1) and carrying, in sequence, a small gas bottle (6), a piercing bit (72), a release mechanism (8), a relative control means (3) with a Bowden cable transmission (30) connected to a handle (50) through a junction member (51) in two parts. A snatch, being transmitted to the handle (50), operates the release mechanism (8) and causes the expandable sack to be inflated (1) and then the two parts of the junction member (51) to be separated.

Abstract: A self-emptying handbag having a bag portion for carrying articles, a strap attached to the bag for carrying purposes, an expandable sack carried within the bag portion and having a volume when expanded greater than the volume of the bag portion, and an arrangement for expanding the expandable sack when the strap attached to the bag is suddenly pulled so that the articles therein are ejected from the bag.

Abstract: A blocking system for doors, windows and the like, particularly of the armored type, to have antitheft, antibreaking, fluid-tight and soundproof features, comprising a frame (11), a wing (12) and two pairs of mechanically interconnected blocking members (13,13'-14,14') which are arranged in housing slots (15,15'-16,16') provided along the opposite perimetrical flat inner edges of the frame (11) and sliding into facing slots (17,17'-18,18') of the wing (12) by the tension action of springs (34,34') to close the door, the backwards motion of these blocking members being carried out by the pushing action of a pin (38) which is manually operated through a central control device (20), when the door is to be opened. The outwards and backwards motions of the blocking members are synchronous and the outwards motion of same from the housing slots of the frame into facing slots of the wing is automatically provided by means of the tension of springs (34,34').
