  • Patent number: 8184962
    Abstract: A mobile device for heating rooms, comprising radiant elements, each provided with two heat-conductor plates associated with each other to define a central portion and connected fluid-dynamically with each other by means of connection elements. A heated heat-carrying fluid is able to flow in the central portions and, through the connection elements, from one to the other of the radiant elements in order to heat the surrounding room. Each pair of heat-conductor plates comprises lateral walls which are distanced from the corresponding central portion so as to define respective peripheral zones. The mobile device also comprises heat-insulating elements able to be applied due to having substantially the same shape so as to cover at least a part of the peripheral zones of the lateral walls.

  • Publication number: 20110247352
    Abstract: A wall-hanging dehumidifier includes a shell in the form of a cabinet, air inlets (1) and air outlets (8) on the shell, and a fan system and a refrigeration system in the shell. The shell comprises a front panel and a rear panel (2). The dehumidifier comprises a wall-hanging assembly. The wall-hanging assembly comprises a hanging board (3) which is fixed on the rear panel (2), and a mounting board (10) which is fixed on the wall (200). The hanging board (3) has hanging holes (31) and the mounting board (10) has hooks (102). The dehumidifier can be mounted on the wall (200) by locking the hooks (102) on the mounting board (10) into the hanging holes (31) on the hanging board (3).

  • Publication number: 20100314459
    Abstract: Radiant module and relative method of production, for a heating device for rooms, comprising two heat-conductor plates, respectively first and second, associated with each other to define a central portion inside which a heated heat-carrying fluid flows. The first heat-conductor plate comprises lateral walls which develop from the central portion away from the second heat-conductor plate, to define a channel inside the radiant module which develops and narrows from the lower part of the radiant module towards its upper part and through which a flow of heated air is accelerated and guided.

  • Patent number: 7044155
    Abstract: Joint-type coaxial connection (10) to connect/disconnect to/from each other two elements (A, B) defining coaxial tubular pipes inside which a respective fluid flows. The connection (10) defines two respective coaxial paths for the passage of the fluid, one internal and one external, able to be selectively opened/closed substantially simultaneously so as to connect pairs (11a, 11b; 12a, 12b) of tubular pipes, respectively inner and outer. In the connection step the two elements (A, B), located coaxial and with the front faces in contact, have a reciprocal approaching travel with the sealing means (44, 45, 46, 47, 48, 49, 50, 51, 52) which close every passage between the inner pipe and the outer pipe, and between the outer pipe and the part of the joint outside the outer pipe, before achieving the reciprocal fluid-dynamic continuity of the two coaxial pipes of the connection.

  • Patent number: 6892554
    Abstract: Device to produce ice-cream wherein there is an outer container (11), a cover (26), an inner container (14), a mixing blade (20) including a scraper fin (120), and an evaporator coil (21) located in cooperation with the bottom (17) of the inner container (14) through at least a contact surface (27). The mixing blade (20) is subjected to an axial thrust which keeps the scraper fin (120) pressed elastically at least on part of the bottom (17) of the inner container (14).
