Abstract: The present invention relates to a brush comprising a system for mechanically fixing tufts of fibers that does not requires metal elements. The present invention also refers to a method for the production of brushes by means of the fixing system.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an improved modular tube. The modular tube includes at least two tubular elements with the first tubular element having a tapered end and the second tubular element having a hollow end. The hollow end of the second tubular element is complimentary to the tapered end of the first tubular element. A male or female threaded coupling element is arranged at the tapered end of the first tubular element; and a corresponding female or male threaded coupling element is arranged at the hollow end of the second tubular element.

Abstract: The expandable shelf of the invention is formed of several telescoping tubular assemblies that are supported in parallel to one another between a pair of end plates. The tubular assemblies may be press fit into the end plates. The end plates are mounted to opposed walls. A center bracket is provided to supportably mount between the end plates for embodiments having long or flexible tubes. In another embodiment, one end plate is mounted to a wall and a second end plate is supported on a floor-mounted column. A further embodiment includes support plates that are mounted to wall surfaces and further receive the end plates to support the expandable shelf. An additional embodiment includes a solid surface platform that is adjustable in length to mount onto the expandable shelf.

Abstract: An improved modular handle for a tool having a plurality of handle segments, at least a grasping segment and a support segment for the tool, the segments being provided with either a male end or a female end for coupling to each other by a forced introduction. The male end has a reduced diameter zone with a undulate end section, and the female end having a hollow section with an inner diameter to receive, by a forced coupling, the undulate section of the male end.

Abstract: The invention relates to an improved modular handle (1), particularly for brooms and like, characterised in that it is comprised of a plurality of handle parts or segments (2, 3, 4), and particularly at least a initial part (2) or grasping segment and at a support part (3) or segment for the tool to be handled, said handle parts or segments (2, 3, 4) being provided with a male end (5) and/or a female end (13), coupling each other by a forced introduction, said male end (5) providing at least a reduced diameter zone (6) with a undulate section, the perimeter of which is equal to the circumference of the handle, said section being obtained by deformation of the end of the part or segment of the same handle, and said female end (13) having an inner diameter to receive, by a forced coupling, said undulate section male end (5).

Abstract: A machine for making artificial limbs as for a Christmas tree where twisted wires having simulated needles attached are fed by a reciprocating transverse action to a pair of cutters which cut the wires to predetermined lengths while at the same time a pair of wires and a strand of decorative material are fed between a pair of pulleys where the cut lengths are attached perpendicularly to the pair of wires and decorative strand being twisted.
