  • Patent number: 12595124
    Abstract: An automatic warehouse (1), comprising: a frame (2), defining a prismatic-shaped containment volume (V), with a vertical axis (X); an elevator (3), arranged inside the containment volume (V), comprising a flat bed (4), movable along a vertical direction; a locking device (101), interposed between the frame (2) and the elevator (3), which is operable between a locking configuration, in which the elevator (3) is constrained to the frame (2) with respect to the vertical movements and cannot move vertically, and a release configuration, in which the elevator (3) can move vertically. The locking device (101) can be activated on command from a predetermined zone of the frame (2), which can be positioned with great flexibility, based on any access needs.

  • Patent number: 11155407
    Abstract: A seismic isolation device for structures of the type in which the structure to be isolated is provided with at least one support leg is constrained to the same structure, includes at least a support element or pad adapted to rest on a sliding surface with a deformation, and includes a contact area in contact with said sliding surface whose extension is variable and depends on the load resting on the support. The sliding surface is rigid and the contact area in contact therewith has a variable extension and depends on the load resting on the support.
