Patent number: 9120402Abstract: A motor vehicle cup holder with a support made of a rigid material and having a receptacle, which extends along a vertical axis and is radially delimited by a side surface, having at least one retaining seat. The cup holder has a lining device, separate from the support and having a liner, which lines at least part of the side surface and defines a seat for housing a container. The lining device has an elastically deformable inner protuberance to grip the container and an outer protuberance to engage the retaining seat of the support and is elastically deformable to enable disengagement of this outer protuberance.Type: GrantFiled: December 3, 2013Date of Patent: September 1, 2015Assignee: C.R.F.

Patent number: 7009702Abstract: The spectrometer comprises at least a first optical path for a beam of electromagnetic radiation, along which the following are set: a beam-entry slit (1) for an incoming beam; a collimator (5) comprising a convergent spherical mirror for collimation of the incoming beam; a first dispersor (9) for dispersion of the beam into its chromatic components; a first focusing system (19); and a first detector (21) which receives the beam dispersed and focused by said first focusing system. Set along the first optical path there is set at least one first aspherical corrector element (7; 17) comprising an aspherical mirror for correction of spherical aberration.Type: GrantFiled: January 10, 2005Date of Patent: March 7, 2006Assignee: Galileo Avionica S.p.A.Inventors: Alberto Caruso, Andrea Romoli, Matteo Taccola
