Abstract: A sporting shoe equipped with a device to control the flexion of the toe includes a localized low friction protection body, particularly for a technical boot designed for practicing the sport of motorcycling, removable, attached along one side of the shoe with the use of reciprocal holder and engaging at least part of the point and of the side. The protection body is hinged to a second element, placed at the back, fixed along the external side of the shoe or a part of it, with the cooperation of a third element ovelapping the first two, which, engaging the second, provides two opposite stops that limit the run of the protection body and of the toe part of the relative shoe, or of a part thereof with respect to the back part.

Abstract: A covering for protecting surfaces in general, which comprises a sheet body that forms an internal supporting frame, to which a layer of self-sealing thermoplastic polymer is connected; the layer forms at least one face of the sheet-like body, the sheet-like body having protrusions for engaging a surface to be covered.

Abstract: A faucet with pull-out dispenser comprising a tubular body that is adapted to accommodate a flexible element to which the dispenser is fixed at one end, the tubular body comprising snap-acting elements that are adapted to retain detachably, by elastic deformation, the dispenser in the position in which the flexible element is fully retracted into the body.

Abstract: A method for trimming loose threads in circular knitting machines, comprising the steps of: starting from an initial pattern and on the basis of a given type of circular knitting machine, if one wishes to trim the loose threads, measuring a distance between needles of the same color on a same row in order to check whether the distance is at least equal to, or greater than, a minimum distance that allows to perform trimming of the loose threads; if the distance is shorter than the minimum distance, replacing a portion of the pattern with at least one special color that identifies a different type of knitting process for the portion of pattern, to be performed on the circular knitting machine; modifying the pattern on the basis of the replacement of the portion of pattern; producing an advancement by a number of rows equal to the number of drops of the knitting machine that are active; and encoding the pattern with the modifications, in order to perform the knitting process.

Abstract: A pull-out kitchen sprayer, comprising a central body accommodated within an outer enclosure, designed to convey water between an inlet associated with a flexible water feed hose and an outlet disk that comprises a central passage and peripheral passages, and comprising a switching device, and two elements constituted by the central body and by the outlet disk that are provided with arrangements for mutual locking with the interposition of a raised portion that protrudes from the internal surface of the enclosure, to lock the enclosure with respect to the elements.
