Abstract: Described is a mould (1) for making a temporary prosthetic component for a knee in an operating room comprising: a first half-mould (10); a second half-mould (20) which can be coupled to the first half-mould (10) for forming a moulding chamber (C) for a temporary prosthetic component made of medical cement; and elements (30) for fixing the first half-mould (10) to the second half-mould (20). Each fixing element (30) has a rod (31) configured for connecting the first half-mould (10) to the second half-mould (20) and defining a weakness neck (32) configured to allow a facilitated breakage of the rod (31).

Abstract: The object of the present invention is a device for making a drink, for example coffee, suitable for housing a container for containing the drink. The device comprises a reservoir for containing water and a support frame. In a coupled configuration between frame and reservoir, the device exhibits a peripheral wall comprising a succession of jointed wall portions for making at least one portion of a polyhedral solid, suitable for recalling, for example, the shape of a moka.

Abstract: An apparatus for the production of espresso coffee and the like is disclosed. The apparatus includes a lower vessel having an inlet opening, a substantially funnel-shaped intermediate vessel placed axially at the inlet opening to the lower vessel, and an electric heater in the lower vessel for heating water contained therein. The intermediate vessel comprises at least a perforated plate that defines a chamber for containing coffee in a finely ground or powder form. An upper vessel is mounted axially to the lower vessel in a desirable fashion and in communication with the lower vessel through the intermediate vessel. The intermediate vessel is reversibly connected to the lower vessel in a relatively tight fashion relative to the outside. The lower vessel is hydraulically connected to a water reservoir through a pump. The water reservoir is positioned alongside the lower vessel and on the same support. Water is fed into the lower vessel in close proximity to the heater.
