  • Patent number: 11629840
    Abstract: A lighting and/or signalling device for motor vehicles, comprising: a container body, a lenticular body that forms a housing chamber; at least one light source, arranged inside the housing chamber; a first gasket made of elastomeric material, which extends along at least one part of a perimeter edge of the container body and which defines a barrier to the ingress of water and/or foreign bodies between the container body and the bodywork. The housing body includes one or more spacer elements, each of which consists of an appendix which protrudes from the housing body in a predetermined position and abuts against the bodywork in the housing seat. Each spacer element is provided with a cap made of elastomeric material applied to cover at least one free end portion of the spacer element.

  • Patent number: 4573814
    Abstract: The dot printer, which is of small dimensions, is used with desk top computers or as a peripheral unit with small processors. The printer writes in the serial-parallel mode by means of a thermal head (26) on a paper tape (16) wound on a writing platen (10) which advances intermittently to effect line spacing. This advancing is effected by means of a pawl (56) on a beam (50) controlled by a face cam (46) and a radial cam (48) on a cam cylinder (44) driven by a motor (45). A third cam (42) reciprocates the head (26) and, at the reversals of the head, the face cam (46) allows a spring (45) to engage the pawl (56) with a toothed wheel (62) on the platen (10) and the radial cam (48) then moves the pawl to advance the platen. The head comprises a small plate (29) of insulating material with twenty point-like resistive writing elements, and is fixed to a support (24 ) which is moved parallel to the cylinder by means of the third (42).
