  • Patent number: 11447307
    Abstract: The service capsule (20) comprises:—an outer skirt (32),—a transverse wall (34) defining at least one outlet orifice (48). The service capsule (20) includes, for each orifice (48), a dispensing conduit (36) defining a dispensing passage (51). The service capsule (20) includes a closing cap (40), mounted moving between a clear position and a position applied on the transverse wall (34). A filter (38) is arranged upstream from and/or in the product dispensing conduit (36), and is configured so that the cosmetic product (12) in the container (18) necessarily passes through the filter (38) when the product (12) is extracted from the container (18) through the service capsule (20). The filter (38) is integral with the product dispensing conduit (36).

  • Patent number: 9865370
    Abstract: A composite material for the realization of a component or a structural part, in particular for installation on-board a vehicle, adapted to integrate electrical devices and connections, includes a non-conductive polymeric matrix; a dispersed phase including at least one promoter of carbonization adapted to form carbonaceous conductive structures; and a reinforcing-fiber filler adapted to direct the distribution and orientation of the dispersed phase in the polymeric matrix.

  • Patent number: 9478330
    Abstract: The present invention concerns a control device for an electrical circuit integrated on a substrate made of polymeric material, incorporating carbonaceous conductive structures which define at least one track having improved electrical conductivity properties with respect to the substrate, which control device includes an operating area adapted to be acted on by a user and having a pressure-deformable structure adapted to disturb the electrical properties of the track by a piezo-resistive effect, wherein the conductive track includes at least one linear segment which has a winding progression at the operating area.

  • Publication number: 20150367725
    Abstract: The tank comprises: a hollow body; a valve device (12) received within the hollow body; and a support element (22) adapted to support the valve device (12) and to be fixed to an upper wall (10) of the hollow body. The support element (22) is provided with coupling teeth (30, 32) adapted to engage in respective undercut seats (18, 20) provided in relief portions (14, 16) of the upper wall (10). The coupling teeth (30, 32) comprise a first rigid coupling tooth (30) adapted to engage in a first seat (14) and second elastically deformable coupling teeth (32) adapted to snap engage in respective second seats (16), in such a manner that the first coupling tooth (30), once engaged in the first seat (14), acts as a fulcrum around which the assembly formed by the support element (22) and by the valve device (12) is rotatable and, while rotating, can be urged against the upper wall (10), causing each second coupling tooth (32) to snap engage in the respective second seat (16).

  • Publication number: 20140167309
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for the manufacturing of a component or a structural part made of polymeric material, adapted to integrate electrical devices and connections, and a system for carrying out the method. The method includes injection moulding of a composite material including: a non-conductive polymeric matrix; a dispersed phase including at least one carbonization promoter to form carbonaceous conductive structures; and a reinforcing-fibre filler to direct the distribution and orientation of the dispersed phase in the polymeric matrix, wherein injection of the composite material into a mould for forming the component or the structural part includes supplying the material in a spatially more-concentrated way at pre-established regions of the component or of the structural part designed for the incorporation of electrical devices or connections, and supplying the material in a spatially more spread-out way elsewhere.
