  • Patent number: 11525524
    Abstract: A magnetically-operable shutter assembly comprises a fixed core and a movable core which can be configured between a contact condition and a condition of the utmost mutual distance and further comprises an encapsulation body capable of simultaneously containing the fixed core and the movable core; the encapsulation body can be installed within a body of a complex functional assembly which is configurable at least in a hindrance configuration for a fluid flow and in an admittance configuration for said fluid flow through the complex functional assembly itself.

  • Patent number: 11346478
    Abstract: A connector for circuit elements of hydraulic or pneumatic systems, comprising: a first connecting body (10) extending along an axis (X); a second connecting body (20) extending along an axis (Y); wherein the first connecting body (10) and the second connecting body (20) can be installed on respective portions of circuit elements and are configured to provide a reversible fluid connection between the circuit elements in which the connector comprises: a first coupling member comprising a male tubular portion on the first connecting body (10) and a respective female tubular portion (23) on the second connecting body (20) to realize a fluid sealing connection by inserting the male tubular portion into a cavity of the female tubular portion (23) configured to guide the male tubular portion; a second coupling member comprising at least one protuberance (14) on an outer surface (11) of the first connecting body (10) and a respective groove (24) on the second connecting body (20) for making a mechanical reversible c

  • Patent number: 10451194
    Abstract: Valve shutter (1) comprising a main portion (2) made of a non-deformable material and a secondary portion (3) made of a deformable and resilient material as to be able to deform progressively in the transition between the open configuration and the closed configuration of a valve (100), and vice versa. The secondary portion (3) includes at least an inner chamber (6) enclosed between the main portion (2) and the secondary portion (3), having at least a through hole (7) suitable for putting the inner chamber (6) in fluid communication with a chamber (102) of a valve body (101) of the valve (100). The inner chamber (6) is configured to be progressively filled, at least partially, by a fluid during the transition between the closed configuration and the open configuration, and to be progressively emptied during the transition between the open configuration and the closed configuration.

  • Patent number: 10066758
    Abstract: A valve, in particular for water discharge of toilets, has a valve body having at least one feed port and a delivery port; a shutter assembly movable with respect to the valve body between an open position and a closed position; an auxiliary channel, which has the function of controlling the shutter assembly, extends from the feed port to the delivery port through the shutter assembly; a first auxiliary shutter controlled electrically for selectively closing the auxiliary channel; and a second auxiliary shutter for selectively closing the auxiliary channel as a function of the pressure generated by the opening of the first auxiliary shutter.
