Abstract: A window assembly, the window assembly comprising a window frame, a pair of spaced-apart guide tracks, at least one window sash mounted to and positioned between the a pair of spaced-apart guide tracks, and a foldable and spreadable pleated screen. The window sash is slidably movable along the guide tracks between an open position and a closed position. The pleated screen has a first screen end mounted to the end of the at least one window sash and a second screen end mounted to a first end of the window frame so that the pleated screen extends when the at least one window sash is in the open position and the pleated screen folds onto itself when the at least one window sash is in the closed position. The pleated screen can also be used in double-hung windows.

Abstract: An automatic unit for preparing infused or brewed beverages from a powdered or ground product, including: an infusion group that includes an infusion chamber, a pressing piston and an actuating mechanism that produce a relative sliding movement between the pressing piston and the infusion chamber along a travel path, from a rest position in which the pressing piston is located outside the chamber to a work position in which the pressing piston is within the chamber; a product distributor having an opening and a chute defining a flow path disposed to channel the product from the distributor toward the infusion chamber; and a cleaning device arranged to contact the chute and to be driven by the pressing piston or by the infusion chamber over at least a part of the travel path in order to remove residual product from the chute.

Abstract: An anvil for a wood chipper includes an anvil body having a top surface, a bottom surface, and longitudinally extending side surfaces between the top and bottom surfaces. At least one of the side surfaces is adapted to accept an insert shaped and dimensioned to fit into the adapted side surface of the body. Means within the body for firmly holding the insert in contact with the adapted side surface are also provided. The insert presents a leading edge functioning as the anvil's leading edge.
