  • Patent number: 9926734
    Abstract: Hinge for a door which covers at least in part a compartment, of the type comprising a fixed support for coupling to a compartment frame, and a mobile support for coupling to a door, wherein such mobile and fixed support are at least rotatably constrained one to the other. The hinge also comprises a coil spring operatively interposed between the fixed support and the mobile support to impose a predefined law of motion to the mobile support with respect to the fixed support, and an actuator for applying a push or a pull force onto said mobile support with respect to the fixed one.

  • Patent number: 9534435
    Abstract: Damper (1) comprising a cylinder (2) containing a damping fluid, at least one piston (3) translatable within said cylinder and defining two damping chambers (4, 5), and a rod (6) for controlling the movement of said at least one piston (3) within said cylinder (2), said damper further comprising at least one first and at least one second narrow passages (7, 8) through which said damping fluid is forced to pass from one to the other of said two damping chambers (4, 5) when said control rod is controllably moved within said cylinder (2), characterized in that said at least one piston (3) is translatable with respect to said control rod (6) on the basis of the speed of said control rod (6), between a first position (P1), in which said at least one piston (3) prevents said damping fluid from passing through said at least one first narrow passage (7) and a second position (P2) in which said at least one piston (3) allows said damping fluid to pass through said at least one first narrow passage (7), and in that it

  • Patent number: 9222677
    Abstract: Gas burner having at least two flame spreaders, at least one diffusion chamber between the flame spreaders for the diffusion of a primary air/gas mixture for at least one of the flame spreaders, and at least one cross-lighting duct for the flame passage between the flame spreaders. The duct is disposed transversally inside the diffusion chamber to define a first and a second region in the diffusion chamber and has two side walls and one upper wall, for the fluidic direct connection between the first and the second region of the diffusion chamber. The upper wall has at least one hole for the mixture inflow into the duct and the cross-lighting duct has at least one lower opening facing the upper wall of the cross-lighting duct.
