The at least one pre-washing element (30) preferably comprises a spray hole having greater dimensions with respect to the hole of the spray nozzle of the at least one washing accessory (13).

Abstract: The present invention has as its object a method for testing bottles or containers having flexible walls, made to be inserted in lines for filling bottles made from plastic material or aluminum containers or containers made from polyethylene-coated paperboard, containing any type of liquid. Positioned at the output of the filling system it is able to simultaneously check for the correct fill level, the presence of possible leaks in the sealing system of the container and possible constructive defects in the container. The test is carried out through the combination of two measurement systems, which are the fill level test and the measurement of the tension of the walls of the container. The results obtained from the level and wall tension measurements, suitably interpolated, provide the indicators necessary to establish whether the product being analyzed should be considered suitable or else to be discarded since it is defective.

Abstract: The present invention provides a transfer charger which provides an intermediate transfer belt with a sufficient transfer efficiency, does not wear in contact with an inner surface of the intermediate transfer belt, has a low frictional property, and is excellent in its friction stability and an image-forming apparatus. A transfer charger (62) is mounted inside the image-forming apparatus where a toner image held on an image holder (12) is transferred to an intermediate transfer belt (31) to obtain an image. The transfer charger (62) makes a surface contact with an inner surface of the intermediate transfer belt (31), with the transfer charger (62) being pressed toward the image holder (12) owing to a pressing member (61). The transfer charger (62) is a sheet material consisting of a resin composition containing 100 parts by weight of non-injection-moldable ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene resin, 2 to 15 parts by weight of electrically conductive carbon, and 0.

Abstract: An elastic joint with a translating spherical hinge, i.e. a spherical hinge with a sliding joint, comprising an elastic articulated plane (13), a support (16) to which the elastic articulated plane (13) is rigidly constrained, and an axial element (14), positioned according to an axis (11) orthogonal to the plane (13), wherein the elastic articulated plane (13) comprises a series of elastic elements (12) arranged with a first end facing and rigidly connected to the axial element (14), and wherein the elastic elements (12) are flexible in any vertical plane comprising the axis (11) and in the horizontal plane (13) to allow four degrees of freedom or, respectively, the translation of the axial element (14) in the direction of the orthogonal axis (11) and the spatial rotation as well as the torsion around the axis (11). The joint according to the invention is particularly suitable for perfecting a force and moment sensor.

Abstract: A retainer for a rolling bearing, which is used for a food machine or a vacuum apparatus, containing an increased amount of a lubricating oil and enhancing a use efficiency of the lubricating oil and rolling bearing is described. The retainer consists of a molding, of a synthetic resin composition, which holds a rolling element of a rolling bearing. The molding is composed of a resinous porous article having an interconnected hole porosity not less than 30% and a lubricating oil which impregnates the resinous porous article. The resinous porous article has an interconnected hole are formed by molding a resin containing a pore-forming substance having a melting point higher than that of the resin and can be used as a food material, and by extracting said pore-forming substance from the molding with a solvent which dissolves the pore-forming substance and does not dissolve the resin.
