Abstract: An apparatus for manufacturing discrete portions (19; 119) comprises: an advancement device for advancing a flexible material (4; 102) along a path (P1); a cutting device (18) positioned along said path (P1) for cutting the flexible material (4; 102) so as to obtain a discrete portion (19; 119), the cutting device (18) comprising a laser source (20) configured to emit a laser beam (21) incident on a rear face (7; 107), opposite a printed front face (5; 105), of the flexible material (4; 102); a retaining device (22) for retaining the flexible material (4; 102) while the cutting device (18) cuts the discrete portion (19; 119) from the flexible material (4; 102).

Abstract: An apparatus for processing a flexible material (14) comprises: a first roller (5) extending along a main axis (A1); a second roller (6) extending along a longitudinal axis (A2), the first roller (5) and the second roller (6) being mutually co-operating to carry out an operation on the flexible material (14), an interspace (37) being defined between the first roller (5) and the second roller (6) though which the flexible material (14) can pass; a pressing device for pushing the first roller (5) and the second roller (6) one towards another; a position adjustment device for adjusting the relative position of the first roller (5) and the second roller (6), the position adjustment device being distinct from the pressing device.

Abstract: The threshold includes a shaped support plate of steel or the like with a sinuous profile which forms at least one longitudinal, substantially U-shaped loop between two raised portions. A profiled cover element of aluminum or the like is located on the plate and forms at least one guide for guiding the running of a door panel. This guide penetrates into the corresponding loop of the support plate. The threshold further includes fixing devices for anchoring it in the zone connecting the landing and the lift shaft or well.
