Abstract: A hydraulic control and/or safety device, particularly for utility apparatuses or systems or appliances, which is preferably able to carry out a flow shut-off and/or limitation, particularly in the event of fault of the utility apparatus or system or appliance, and/or one or more features that improve the device and/or the apparatus performance. In particular, the device can carry out the function of the fluid treatment, so as to be particularly reliable, as it prevents at least the formation of deposits on its mechanical components designed to limit the water flow.

Abstract: A refrigerating apparatus, particularly a household refrigerator, has a liquid-supply system for a user device forming part of the apparatus, particularly a dispenser of a consumable product. The apparatus further comprises a protection system arranged for preventing flooding deriving from possible leakage of liquid, in particular from at least one of said supply system and said user device.

Abstract: An actuation device is described, having: an actuator with a movable actuation element; at least a transmission element being capable of moving from a respective first operating condition to a respective second operating condition under the action of the actuation element. According to the invention, a hooking-release arrangement is provided, which is made operative by the actuation element during a displacement of the latter, for inducing in the transmission element a movement which occurs at least in part with a speed being higher than the speed of the displacement of the actuation element. The device has an advantageous use in the realization of systems for blocking, in a predetermined position, the drum of a machine for washing and/or drying laundry.

Abstract: A simple, low-cost, reliable thermoactuator device is described, being capable of taking a plurality of stable working position besides its rest position. One and the same body is associated with at least two thermoactuators whose arrangement is such as to make a movable actuation element capable of taking at least three stable working positions, which are obtained as a function of an electric signal to the supply terminals of either one or the other or both of the thermoactuators.
