  • Patent number: 8264911
    Abstract: A universal wristwatch and relevant system for setting the time according to the time zone, the wristwatch (1) including concentric dials (A, B, C) showing the 24 hours (dial B), the 24 time zones (dial C) and the minutes (winder A) and including also selecting devices (11) suitable to implement a temporary connection between the rotation of the time zone dial (C) and the 24-hour dial (B) in order to realize an identical synchronous rotation further to which it will be possible to set the hour hand (O) on the new place thus obtaining independently and at the same time the collimation with the joint unit of dials (B) and (C). Once the collimation is completed, the previous different rotation of dials (B) and (C) is restored. The wristwatch (1) showing the time of the current time zone in twelfths and twenty-fourths, universal wristwatch, in addition to the other 23 places.

  • Patent number: 8001871
    Abstract: A corkscrew (1) with fulcrum moving and acting alternately in two different positions: the first one to screw the worm into the cork; the second one to extract it. The three operations (screwing, extracting and ejecting the cork) take place with a single reciprocating movement of two-lever (12).

  • Patent number: 7832307
    Abstract: The invention is a corkscrew (1) for caps made of cork or plastics equipped with two levers (7) and (8) each having two shaped or cam outlines (11, 12) that subject corresponding teeth (41) and (51), carried by concentric barrels (4) and (5), to different movements such as to allow the complete extraction of the cap from the bottle and its ejection. The corkscrew (1) takes care of blocking the bottle neck during the worm screwing through a garter-spring tightening arrangement (6). The levers (7,8) are synchronously moved through teeth (13) that engage a toothed wheel (14).

  • Publication number: 20100163510
    Abstract: A universal closure device for bottles, includes a number of external components, namely coaxial and concentric cylinders, which are connected together to define an external member or enclosure; the external member operating via tongues and a toroidal spring and being used for attachment to the lip of the bottle; and two internal components, namely a suitably conformed cylinder and a piston, operating by two springs. The piston further includes a head which is adapted to mate with a ring connected to the cylinder; the head (6a) freely sliding along an axial section which is limited by two collars at the top and the bottom. Assembly of the above components allows attachment thereof regardless of the diameter of the neck of the bottle and the height and shape of the bottle lip.

    Abstract: Universal wristwatch and the relevant system for setting the time according to the time zone. The wristwatch (1) comprises concentric dials (A5 B5-C) showing the 24 hours (dial B) 5 the 24 time zones (dial C) and the minutes (winder A) and comprises also selecting devices (11) suitable to implement a temporary-connection between the rotation of the time zone dial (C) and. the 24-hour dial (B) in order to realise an identical synchronous rotation further to which it will be possible to set the hour hand (O) on the new place thus obtaining independently and at the same time the collimation with the joint unit of dials (B) and (C). Once the aforesaid collimation is completed, the previous different rotation of dials (B) and (C) is restored. The result is to have the wristwatch (1) showing the time of the current time zone in twelfths and twenty-fourths, universal wristwatch, in addition to the other 23 places.

  • Patent number: 6971684
    Abstract: The invention relates to fast couplings for connecting hoses, particularly for domestic irrigation. A fast coupling is formed by a first body and a second body reciprocally connected by inserting first lugs projecting from the second body in first slots made on the first body. A male connector is locked inside the fast coupling by radially pressing an end of the male connector with a torus-shaped elastic element. Unlocking the second body from the first body causes the automatic ejection of the mail connector.

  • Patent number: 6276545
    Abstract: A stopper for opened bottles having an external body (1) provided with an upper opening (4) designed to allow rotation of a lever (8) having an eccentricity (9). Operation of the lever allows, through an intervening arrangement of a cylindrical helical spring (22), lowering of an internal body (16) against a toroidal spring (15) causing radial deformation of the toroidal spring to allow gripping of the neck of the bottle underneath a shoulder on the bottle neck.

  • Patent number: 5050801
    Abstract: A combination ornament in the form of a flower and a sprinkler head is provided. The flower is made up of petals and is swingably supported on the sprinkler head. A piston in the sprinkler head is actuated by a water supply which moves the piston upward to move the petals downward out of line with the sprinkler head. A spring is provided in the sprinkler head for forcing the piston downward when the water supply is shut off, for moving the piston and the petals to a closed position.
