  • Patent number: 5013514
    Abstract: The process makes use of a lost core of polystyrene, on which are wrapped and compacted, in successive stages, various sheets or mats of carbon fibre, of known type; a first compaction is effected in an autoclave after having sealingly wrapped the core, before lamination of the carbon fibre layers, in a first polythene envelope, and after having sealingly wrapped the partly finished product constituted by the core wrapped in the first polythene envelope and some of the carbon fibre sheet or mat in a second polythene envelope, by creation of a vacuum within the interior of the second envelope, while maintaining the interior of the first envelope in communication with the outside of the second envelope; a second compaction, after removal of the second envelope, following lamination of further sheets or mats and possible mounting of metal inserts on the core and insertion of the partly finished product thus obtained between a pair of mould halves, is effected in an autoclave by wrapping the two mould halves, pre

  • Patent number: 4916978
    Abstract: The device comprises first and second planet wheels having a common axis, first and second pairs of first satellite gear wheels meshing respectively with the first and second planet wheels, the two gear wheels of each of the said pairs being rotatable on a differential housing coaxial with the planet wheels and having axes lying respectively in first and second planes orthogonal to one another and passing through the first-mentioned said common axis; the device further includes two pairs of second satellite gear wheels also rotatable on the differential housing and having axes lying in the same plane orthogonal to the first and second first-defined planes, each of the second satellite gear wheels meshing simultaneously with one of the said first satellite gear wheels belonging to the first pair and with one of the said first satellite gear wheels belonging to the second pair in such a way that drive can be transmitted from one of the said first satellite gear wheels of one of the said pairs simultaneously to

  • Patent number: 4874201
    Abstract: The structure comprises a pair of support elements for the window each of which has an abutment tongue which can be contacted by part of the rear surface of the window, a frame tongue orthogonal to the first and adapted to surround the lateral edge of the window, a guide tongue parallel to the abutment tongue and disposed rearwardly of this, and a connection wall connecting the abutment tongue and the guide tongue together; the structure further includes a pair of guide elements each of which is adapted to guide a corresponding support element during movement of the window, and each of which comprises a pair of parallel guide tongues defining with a base wall, a guide channel for a guide tongue of a corresponding window support element, each of the said guide elements being fixed to a corresponding upright of the door.

  • Patent number: 4869539
    Abstract: A support structure for a motor vehicle that includes a passenger compartment and is resiliently connected to the vehicle wheels by front and rear suspensions. The structure includes a central frame which defines the passenger compartment of the vehicle. In addition, the structure includes front and rear frames which are connected by respective resilient connection devices to the front and rear of the central frame. The front and rear frames are provided with attachment devices for connecting with the front and rear suspension, respectively. The rear frame supports the motor vehicle engine, the rear differential and the torque divider, and the front frame supports the other transmission members, such as the front differential.

  • Patent number: 4811970
    Abstract: The front frame is resiliently connected to a central frame of the motor vehicle supporting structure and is resiliently connected to each front wheel by means of a resilient suspension; this frame substantially comprises a plate engageable against the ends of the attachment beams of the central frame and at least two pairs of first arms substantially orthogonal to the plate itself; the said plate includes a substantially flat wall in which are formed perforations and from which project a plurality of ribs to form a flat reticular structural element, and connection of the said plate to the central frame is achieved by means of sleeves made of resilient material and disposed in corresponding nodes of the said reticular structural element.
