Abstract: The present invention relates to a pod-holding device (100) for a beverage dispensing machine. The pod-holding device comprises a first (7) and a second (11) extraction subunit, the first extraction subunit (7) sealingly closing against the second subunit (11) so as to form, when closed, an extraction chamber for the pod, and, when open, allow insertion of the pod between the two subunits (7, 11).

Abstract: The reclining chair 100 according to the invention comprises an anchoring structure 200 having, mounted thereon, a support structure or frame 300A which forms a support of a seat 300B connected at the front to a leg rest 600, the frame 300A being connected laterally to two arm rests 500 and at the rear to a backrest 400. The backrest and frame are connected together by means of frame pins 316; the backrest and seat 300B are connected together by means of lever systems 410, 410a connected at one end to seats 407 provided on the framework 401 of the backrest 400 and at the other end to pins arranged in seats 323 on the seat side support structures 311 of the seat 300B; the frame 300A and seat 300B are connected together by means of frame pins 306 and 318 which slide inside corresponding recesses 320 and 321 formed in the seat side support structures 311 of the seat 300B.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a machine able to dispense hot beverages such as short coffee, long coffee, tea and/or hot water. The machine comprises a substantially aluminium supporting structure, side panels, base and top, which are substantially made of aluminium, a pod-holding unit and a heat exchanger for heating the water. The heat exchanger for heating the water comprises an elongated body provided with a casing housing internally a heating element provided with helical grooves for passage of the water and, centrally, with a longitudinal cavity which houses a resistance. The parts are configured and formed so that the machine may be used in particularly small spaces such as those on-board vessels of the yacht and boat type and aircraft and/or in very small size kitchens with little available space.

Abstract: An electromechanical, modular, single-column, trash compactor with a particularly small size and low weight. In particular, a trash compaction device which can be used on-board aircraft, trains, ships and/or for civil applications and generally in all the locations and/or transportation means where the auxiliary service equipment must occupy as little space as possible. The compaction device is formed by a system of hollow telescopic screws (5,6), for example of the recirculating ball type, operated by a motor (2) housed inside the said screws (5,6). The compactor may be conveniently installed in compartments, which are fixed or movable on wheels, such as a trolley, so as to allow easy displacement thereof within the transportation means and insertion within the appropriate working spaces.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an electro-mechanical waste compactor which can operate also with 28 V power and of particularly reduced dimensions and weight. In particular, the invention relates to a waste compaction device which can be employed for civil uses, in particular for domestic use or on board of all the transportation means that require a big space economy for the auxiliary service equipment, as, for example, trains, ships and vessels in general, aircrafts, coaches, caravans etc. The compaction device of the invention can be conveniently installed in appropriate bays, fixed or movable on wheels, such as a trolley, to allow its ease of movement in a transportation means, and its insertion in the appropriate service spaces.

Abstract: The invention provides a seat track fitting and a corresponding method to lock seats on a known hollow track. In one embodiment, the track is longitudinally provided with a plurality of symmetric circular-shaped openings of a diameter greater than the width of the slot opening comprises a main body mechanism and a shear plunger provided with a screw associated with an anti-loosening component, slidably arranged with respect to the main body mechanism.

Abstract: The seat track fitting and corresponding method to lock seats on a known hollow track being longitudinally provided with a plurality of symmetric circular-shaped openings (22) of a diameter greater than the width of the slot opening comprises a main body mechanism (11) and a shear plunger (8) provided with a screw (2) associated with an anti-loosening means, slidably arranged with respect to the main body mechanism (11) between a sliding position and a securing position; wherein the main body mechanism (11) comprises: an upper portion for installation of the track fitting to a seat; and a lower portion having a width fitting within the width of the track's slot and comprising fixed studs (15) arranged at the same intervals as the circular-shaped openings (22) in the track (20), where the studs (15) have dimensions falling within the diameter of the circular-shaped openings (22) and laterally protrude from the width of the lower portion, and where the studs (15) are intended to lie below the track section (23
