Abstract:
A contact adapted to be used in conjunction with an electric wire prearranged with a tip connection terminal, of essentially rigid type, and including reception means of the terminal for at least one prevailing part of the length of the same in a direction of insertion (A), electric interface means between tip and contact, against which the terminal is in use abuttingly withheld, and elastic locking means prearranged between the reception means and the electric interface means so as to press in use with predetermined pressure the terminal against the electric interface means and at the same time cooperate with the terminal forming a first angle with the direction of insertion so as to prevent by seizing the extraction of the terminal from the reception means in the direction of insertion; wherein the elastic means and the reception means are shaped so as to allow a user to displace the terminal, against the bias of the elastic means, obliquely with respect to the interface means and to the direction of insertion (A), so as to determine between the elastic means and the terminal a second angle which does not allow the removal of the tip from the reception means along a direction of extraction (B) different from that of insertion (A).
Abstract:
A device including high voltage generating means accommodated in an electrical insulating casing, spark generating means adapted to be arranged near respective burners of a household appliance to be ignited and electrical connection means between the high voltage generating means and the spark generating means; the high voltage generating means include a single secondary winding of a transformer provided with a single high voltage output contact and a single return contact, connectable to ground; the spark generating means include for each burner a pair of electrodes reciprocally insulated and arranged side-by-side at a predetermined distance such that to allow in use the generation of sparks between the same; the electrical connection means include a single electrical wire connected to a single output of the high voltage generating means connecting in series together all the existing electrode pairs and divided by the electrodes of each pair of a plurality of segments reciprocally and electrically insulated by means of the electrodes of each electrode pair, to form a chain of electrodes coupled two-by-two.

A refrigerator-freezer of the combined type comprises a first and a second refrigerating units and a single cooling circuit for both units, which are fluid-dynamically and reciprocally connected by an air passage conduit; the temperature inside the first unit is controlled by a device comprising motorised interception means of the passage conduit; electronic control means of the motorised interception means, directly carried aboard a supporting body adapted in use to be arranged along the passage conduit; an electronic temperature sensor operatively and directly connected to the electronic control means, carried aboard the supporting body; and ventilator means, carried aboard the supporting body, operated by the electronic control means of the motorised interception means for selectively ensuring circulation of air by forced convection between the first and second refrigerating units along the passage conduit.
Abstract:
A device for opening a door of an electric household appliance; the door swinging about an axis of rotation between an open position, into which it is pushed by elastic means, and a closed position, in which it is retained, with the interposition of a peripheral seal, resting against a door stop of a door opening of the appliance, by releasable retaining means; and the device including a supporting member fixable integrally to the door; a button fitted integrally to the supporting member to stay, in use, on the same side of an outer surface of the door, and which is pressure-operated in opposition to first elastic means; a push member fitted to the supporting member to slide, in opposition to second elastic means and along an axis substantially perpendicular to the axis of rotation of the door, between an extracted position extracted from a seat on the supporting member, and a withdrawn position housed inside the seat, which is formed at and substantially flush with the peripheral seal; and bolt means for selectively engaging the push member to lock it in the withdrawn position, and releasing the push member when the button is pressed.
Abstract:
A decelerating device includes a casing defining internally a chamber filled with a viscous fluid, e.g. silicone oil; and a movable member fitted in fluidtight manner to the casing, so as to be housed at least partly inside the chamber and immersed in the viscous fluid. The movable member has a partition for dividing the chamber substantially in fluidtight manner into at least two adjacent portions varying in volume as a function of the position of the movable member with respect to the casing; and a calibrated constriction for maintaining permanent hydraulic connection of the at least two adjacent portions of the chamber, so that the viscous fluid flows between the chamber portions as a consequence of relative motion between the movable member and the casing.
