  • Publication number: 20210362964
    Abstract: A collection system for particulate matter along a conveyor system of products, which advance in an advancing direction, by means of a carrier gas flow; said collection system having a hood made by moulding of polymeric material; wherein the hood has a bent wall, which delimits a suction area, and a connection, which fluidly connects said suction area with a suction conduit through an opening of said bent wall; wherein said bent wall has a longitudinal axis, which in use is transversal, in particular perpendicular, to the advancing direction of the products.

  • Patent number: 8752247
    Abstract: Hinge for supporting and maneuvering doors, consisting of two wing-shaped elements, provided with means for the attachment to a frame part and to a door part, respectively, as well as with means for the mutual hinging of in a pivoting area, said means consisting of appendixes projecting from said wing-shaped elements, characterized in that at least one of said appendixes of a first one of said wings is shaped as a cylindrical body on the surface of which there are formed axial grooves, at a preset, mutual, circumferential distance, and in that with a second one of said wings, opposite to said appendix, there is associated at least one thrust-engagement element in one of said grooves, at least partly elastically yielding.

  • Patent number: 7617567
    Abstract: The invention concerns a hinge of the type including of a pair of members of a hinge (1), each having a pair of screw-anchoring holes (5). The holes are obtained within housing seats (2) prearranged for the introduction of adjusters (3, 9). Each adjuster includes a body (6) and a flange (7). The edge of the flange rests on the surface of each member of the hinge (1) in various mutual positions of the adjuster in its respective seat. According to the invention, said housing seats (2) have a centered-symmetry base layout, and guiding means (6, 11, 11a) are provided for guiding said adjuster body (6) into its respective housing seat (2) so as to allow the free movement of the adjuster (3, 9) in a single direction, among multiple possible directions, depending on the orientation of each adjuster (2) in its respective seat.

  • Patent number: 7611110
    Abstract: A clamp support system including a basic support made of a plastic material, a device support made of a plastic material, and a section bar connecting the basic support and the device support. A seat that houses a portion of the section bar is provided to each of the basic support and the device support. Each seat is bounded by walls that are deformable in at least an area. A fastening means that acts on the deformable area for locking the section bar is provided to each support. The section bars and the corresponding seats have matching grooved surfaces. The basic support includes a generally U-shaped body having a central opening that houses a wheel in which the seat of the basic support is provided. The wheel has front toothings for cooperating with a protruding rib of the body for the locking of the wheel via the fastening means.
