  • Patent number: 6705162
    Abstract: A probe assembly for monitoring the water level in boilers with an electric immersion resistor heater, of the type that comprises at least one sensor element to be arranged inside a hollow body which is in turn associated and partially inserted in the boiler. The hollow body has, on the portion arranged outside the boiler, a plug which axially supports the sensor element; the end of the sensor element arranged at the plug is connected, when the plug is installed, by way of at least one electrical contact, to an electrical power supply cable, whose contact end is arranged at the portion of hollow body that is arranged outside the boiler.

  • Patent number: 5776215
    Abstract: An improved machine for household cleaning which has, in a box-like body, a vacuum-cleaner section composed of a fan that is coupled to an electric motor, the intake of the fan being connected to a dirt suction duct. In the vacuum-cleaner section, upstream of the fan, the discharge of the fan generates a secondary air stream, separate from a main stream that contains dirt, in at least one Venturi duct that draws water from a water container and ends in a region where the main air stream passes, so as to wet and remove the dirt contained in the main stream.

  • Patent number: 5749120
    Abstract: The control device for steam-generating appliances has at least one component having a variable internal volume that is accommodated in the handle of a fixture of the steam-generating appliance, and is filled with a nonconducting fluid. The component has a variable internal volume which can be directly or indirectly compressed by a user, and is connected, through an actuation tube, to a pressure transducer. The transducer is accommodated inside the body of the steam-generating appliance, and in turn actuates a respective steam delivery control valve.
