  • Patent number: 8360110
    Abstract: The machine (1) for making fabrics comprising yarns decorated with pearls (15) comprises a yarn holder (2) for feeding a warp yarn (3) to a weaving group (5) by aligning all of them onto the same plane by means of cords (7) controlling the feeding direction of the warp (3). The weaving group (5) comprises a reed (9) therethrough the warp yarns (3) pass and cooperating with a bar (11) for forming the fabric (8). The weaving cloth (5) comprises two pincers (13) suitable for inserting a weft yarn between the warp yarns (3). The bar (11) has an indentation (16) faced towards the reed (9) and placed at the passing area of the warp (14). The pincers (13) have a first jaw (18) faced towards a second jaw (19) with substantially triangular profile. The invention also relates to the fabric made with such machine.

  • Publication number: 20080314091
    Abstract: An anchorage guide for a trocar including a tubular body, formed by a plurality of substantially circular sectors, radially moveable from and towards the longitudinal axis of the tubular body between a first position, at which the circular sectors flank each other according to a first substantially circular arrangement with a diameter equal to that of the tubular body, and a second position, at which the circular sectors result equidistant from each other according to a second substantially circular arrangement of greater diameter than that of the first arrangement. Each of the circular sectors is rotatably connected to a support element and a manual operation mechanism, moveably connected to the support element, moves the circular sectors from the first to the second position and vice versa.
