Abstract: An anti-flooding safety device includes two connection bodies, a valve arrangement that includes a valve member, a retention member for withholding the valve member in a respective opening position, and an inner hose and an outer hose impermeable to water. The inner hose hydraulically connects the two connection bodies and extends at least in part within the outer hose so that defined between the two hoses is a gap designed to withhold inside it any possible leaking water. A connection body has a control chamber that is at least in part delimited by a movable element, and a control member is coupled to the movable element so that a displacement of the latter will cause a displacement of the control member towards a respective position of release, wherein the valve member is free to pass into its closing position. The gap is in fluid communication with the control chamber, to obtain a substantially closed volume therewith.

Abstract: An anti-flooding safety device for a user apparatus includes: a first connection body defining a first duct, the first duct having an inlet and an outlet, the inlet of the first duct being provided for connection to a supply point of a mains supply. An inner flexible hose and an outer flexible hose are impermeable to water, wherein the inner hose has a proximal end, which is sealingly fixed in a position corresponding to the outlet of the first duct, and a distal end for connection to the user apparatus, and wherein the inner hose extends longitudinally within the outer hose so that between at least part of the two hoses a gap is defined designed to convey to the user apparatus and/or to withhold inside it any possible leaking water. A valve arrangement on the first connection body can be switched from a position of opening of the first duct to a position of closing of the first duct following upon detection of a leakage of water.

Abstract: The invention relates to a door lock device for household appliances such as washing machines, clothes dryers and the like. The device comprises a slide (6) which is movable between a door lock position and a door unlock position, and which cooperates with a coupling tooth arranged on the door in order to hold the door locked when the household appliance is in operation. The device is fitted with a thermoactuator (4) that drives the slide (6) by imparting thereto a translational motion between a door lock position and a door unlock position.

Abstract: A control device for gas appliances comprises at least one control module (20) having a supporting structure that can be associated to a gas tap (10) and defines a housing, contained within which is at least one first part of a circuit arrangement. The control module (20) comprises a command element operable by a user for activating at least one timing function and/or a function of ignition of a gas burner. The first part of the circuit arrangement comprises control elements, electrical-interconnection elements, and detection elements (45) configured for detecting actuation of the command element and supplying corresponding signals to the control elements. The circuit arrangement comprises further control and/or command elements (PSD, IS, F, LE, BC, ISC) and/or an auxiliary module (PSD).

Abstract: A control device for gas appliances (1) comprises: a manual-control element (12, 22); a circuit arrangement (25a) that includes control elements, electrical-interconnection elements, detection elements for detecting actuation of the manual-control element (12, 22) and supplying corresponding signals to the control elements; and a supporting structure (21), which can be associated in a stationary way with respect to a gas tap, wherein the supporting structure (21) includes at least one first part of stationary structure (40, 41) that defines a housing for at least part of the circuit arrangement (25a), the first part of structure (40, 41) being in particular designed for being housed within a body of a gas appliance. The control elements are designed for counting the time, and the device includes optical warning elements (43?, LG).
