Patent number: 7959026Abstract: The invention concerns a vent cap for oil tanks of machines and motor equipment, comprising a cup (1), equipped with means of engagement (4) with the seat of the tank filler, and a lid (12) mounted on the cup and which snaps thereon. Between the cup (1) and the lid (12) there is a gap allowing the vapor outflow from the tank to the outer environment or viceversa. According to the invention, said lid (12) comprises two cylindrical diaphragms (12b, 12c), concentric to the cap axis and which, in cooperation with the cup (1), form labyrinth means for the flow of vapors and air. Cup (1) also carries a guide (7) supporting a level rod (8), consisting of a central, cylindrical main body (7b), wherefrom ribs (7a) for anchoring to the cup (1) depart. Guide (7) extends, at the top, into two flexible flaps (7c), provided with means of engagement (10) of the rod (8).Type: GrantFiled: January 19, 2007Date of Patent: June 14, 2011Assignee: Elesa S.p.A.Inventor: Alberto Bertani

Patent number: 7712393Abstract: A safety grip for a handwheel which is movable between an operating position and a home position is comprised of an elongated and ergonomic body (1) and of a support (2), which is anchored to the body of a maneuvering member, such as a handwheel. The body (1) is comprised of an outer case (1a), a rod-like inner core (3) with a head (4), a bushing (6) slidably mounted on the core (3), a sleeve (7) in sliding engagement on the bushing (6), an axial thrust spring (9) arranged between two opposite shoulders (6a) and (7a) of the bushing (6) and of the sleeve (7), and a second thrust spring (10) arranged between the head (4) and the top of the bushing (6). The body (1) is connected to the support (2) at a pivot point (5). An end of the sleeve (7) engages a contact surface of the support (2) through a collar (8). The collar (8) has an inner conical mouth surface that engages a shaped rib (11) on the top of said support (2), where the shaped rib (11) has a frusto-conical outer surface.Type: GrantFiled: November 7, 2006Date of Patent: May 11, 2010Assignee: Elesa S.p.A.Inventor: Alberto Bertani

Patent number: 7507922Abstract: The invention concerns a hinge of the type consisting of two flap-shaped main components (1, 2), having a mutual-engagement area (3) on a common pivoting axis. The hinge provides that with one of the flaps (1, 2) there is integral a head (4) of the pivoting axis, having a cam-shaped profile, and that with the other flap (1, 2) there is associated a switch body (5) wherefrom a control pin (9) protrudes. An outer end of the control pin (9) engages with said cam-shaped profile, and an end inside the body (5) acts on a button (11) actuating a switch (10) arranged within said body (5).Type: GrantFiled: December 18, 2006Date of Patent: March 24, 2009Assignee: Elesa S.p.A.Inventor: Alberto Bertani

Patent number: 7413095Abstract: A device for closing, connecting and/or locking including a driving element and a driven element having a threaded end. The driven element is at least partially positioned within the driving element. An axial anchoring structure axially anchors the driving element to the driven element while allowing rotation of the driving element and the driven element. A rotational anchoring structure anchors the driving element to the driven element for unitary rotation in a first rotation direction, only up to a limited tightening torque. The rotational anchoring structure allows the free rotation of the driving element in a second rotation direction opposite to the first rotation direction. A locking structure locks the driving element with driven element for unitary rotation in the second rotation direction.Type: GrantFiled: September 30, 2004Date of Patent: August 19, 2008Assignee: Elesa S.p.A.Inventors: Alberto Bertani, Michele Girino
