  • Publication number: 20200114983
    Abstract: A fairing assembly for a commercial vehicle includes a forward fairing configured to be disposed such that the forward fairing begins inboard of an outer tire tread edge of a tire of a forward drive wheel and progresses outwards to end outboard of a wall of the tire of the forward drive wheel with respect to a longitudinal direction of the commercial vehicle. The fairing assembly further includes a rear fairing configured to be disposed such that the rear fairing begins inboard of an outer tire tread edge of a tire of a rear drive wheel and progresses outwards to end outboard of a wall of the tire of the rear drive wheel with respect to the longitudinal direction of the commercial vehicle, where the rear fairing has a concave cross-section in a transverse direction of the commercial vehicle.

  • Publication number: 20170313542
    Abstract: A support is described for coils of cable, welding wire or the like, comprising: a central huh (20) constituted by two first rings (22) respectively fixed to the ends of, mutually parallel, rods (24) of substantially equal length ; two annular flanges (30) integral respectively with two opposite ends of the hub to define an annular space around the hub inside which to house the coil, the flanges being constituted by two second rings (32) with larger diameter than the first rings, each second ring being connected concentrically and rigidly to a first ring by radial rods (34). To avoid accidental injury to the user, the outer edge of at least one end (66) of each rod comprises a blunting (80).

  • Patent number: 8757461
    Abstract: Connection device of a portable electronic equipment with anchorage device provided with a magnetic support, particularly in the car driver and passenger compartment having ventilation air vents of the type provided with fins. The magnetic base has an attraction seat to house the coupling interface of the coupling plate with the coplanar approaching at least two permanent magnets reciprocally attracted one another, axially magnetized with inverted polarity. The magnetic base joined to the anchorage device has an attraction seat with a concave configuration with spherical cap section. The anchorage device is a clamp including two movable jaws, reciprocally articulated one another at a first end, with a cam-shaped surface relatively to the base of the first end, which insists in correspondence of an adjustment locknut, with respect to which a screw passes through coaxially. The magnetic base with attraction seat is associated with the locknut.

  • Publication number: 20140102609
    Abstract: Anti-skid device for wheels, comprising: a casing (2, 3, 4) that comprises a tread (2), an internal portion (3) and an external portion (4); a fastening cable (5), slidably associated with the casing (2,3,4), which is slidable with respect to the casing (2, 3, 4) between at least a mounting position, in which the section of fastening cable (5) interacting with the casing (2, 3, 4) is longer in length and said tread (2) and said internal portion (3) are in a relaxed configuration, which enables the casing (2, 3, 4) to be keyed onto a wheel, and at least a fastening position, in which the section of fastening cable (5) interacting with the casing (2, 3, 4) is shorter in length and said tread (2) and said internal portion (3) are tightened in contact with the wheel.

  • Publication number: 20100317418
    Abstract: A magnetic device for the support, particularly in cars, of portable electronic equipment includes a base that integrates at least two adjoining magnets, fixable on a surface internal to the driver and passenger compartment, and a coupling plate including ferromagnetic material fixable or integrated into the back of the equipment to support or on the intermediate accessory arranged for the support of the equipment. The base, having on one side a layer of material of adhesion to the surface of the driver and passenger compartment, is created through the coplanar approaching of at least two permanent magnets attracted to each other, each magnet having a polygonal plan geometric shape.

  • Publication number: 20080290187
    Abstract: Pneumatic painting apparatus of the present invention includes a compressor, a de-humidifier device, a heater for compressed air, a regenerating device for an adsorptive agent, a spray gun with a temperature sensor, a delivery pipe, and a control unit. The control unit opens upstream from the de-humidifier device. The circuit, along which the flow of air from the container of compressed air travels, includes passing through at least the heater and going along the delivery pipe of the compressed air flow towards a spray gun or vice-versa, not supplying the spray gun. The upstream circuit of the de-humidifier device closes, activating the regenerating device for the adsorptive agent of the de-humidifier device. The circuit takes a regenerating path inverse to the previous one, the circuit, from the compressed air container first crossing the heater device and later the de-humidifier device.

  • Patent number: 5878774
    Abstract: A tire inflation gun has a valve having several positions. When fully closed, the gun does not fill or empty a tire, but allows the tire pressure to be measured. When the valve is partially opened, the tire pressure can still be measured, but air is allowed to escape from the tire. Fully open, the gun allows the tire to be filled by a pressurized air source but closes the connection between pressure gauge and pressurized air source. This prevents the pressure gauge from being damaged by the high pressure.
