  • Patent number: 4580983
    Abstract: The involved technical field is that of bicycles, and the invention is corned with a stand device for holding a bicycle stationary while simulating road running conditions. The technical problem was that of providing a device which could simulate road running conditions with a high degree of verisimilitude and the solution resides in a structure comprising two supporting rollers, one for each wheel, which are kinematically connected to each other and to a fan, adapted to generate a flow of air blowing against the bicycle, the bicycle being supported on means adapted to heel and move sideways.

  • Patent number: 4328898
    Abstract: A prismatic frame designed to hold a multiplicity of flat articles such as printed-circuit boards has two generally rectangular end walls interconnected by two coplanar pairs of cross-members each having a narrow face with a row of perforations receiving locator pins of guide elements spanning each pair of cross-members, the guide elements being provided with longitudinal channels accommodating respective boards. The guide elements are held in position by retaining bars confronting the perforated faces of one cross-member of each pair, at least one of these bars forming a guidetrack for a locking rod which has teeth alignable with the boards in a blocking position and is shiftable into an unblocking position facilitating their withdrawal.
