The present invention relates to a shielding system for conductor cables as well as to a method for producing said shielding system. The system is characterized in that it comprises a corrugated tube () coated with one or more thin films of high electrical conductivity material () which are reversibly adhered to the surface of said corrugated tube () so that said coating can be uncoupled from the corrugated tube due to high bending values of the tube itself. The shielding system according to the present invention therefore combines the excellent shielding efficacy values of a system having thin metal films with the excellent flexibility properties of a corrugated plastic tube.

Gasket for refrigerator cabinets for providing seal-tight closure between cabinet () and door () composed of an outer door () and inner door (), comprising a soft bellows portion (), characterized in that said soft bellows portion () is interposed in an extensible manner between at least a pair of magnets () one of which is operatively coupled to said door and the other is coupled to said cabinet.

Magnetic gasket for refrigerator cabinets

Gasket for refrigerator cabinets of the kind including a soft bellows-type portion used for sealing the area between the cabinet and the door and extending from a base portion able to match the outer door and/or inner door of the refrigerator cabinet. The base portion is substantially rigid and has at one end, a sealing portion made of substantially soft material extending toward the inner door. The soft material portion has good flexible and spring back features when exposed to refrigerator and freezer temperatures. These features make the gasket able to further seal, preferably by compression, the space located between the cabinet and inner door in a more internal area of the refrigerator cabinet. Furthermore, the soft sealing portion is independent and free from constraints with respect to the soft bellows-type portion.

Double-seal gasket for refrigerator cabinets with high heat insulation properties

A sealing assembly for a refrigerator which comprises a bellows-seal gasket and a profile as a single piece or as multiple pieces where the profile has a base having at opposite ends, sealing strips and has a groove for replacement of the bellows-seal gasket. The profile is provided with a side branch that terminates in a grooved seat having a C-shaped cross-section for receiving an edge of an inner door panel and having a sealing strip that is provided at the end of the grooved seat. The inner door panel is bent to ensure optimal contact with the sealing strip of the side branch.

A gasket for forming a seal between an outer door member and an inner door member, as well as a cabinet of a refrigeration unit. The gasket is adapted to seal the inner door edge of the inner door member to the outer door member, as well as between the outer door member and the cabinet. The gasket includes a semi-rigid profile portion joined to a bellows seal portion. The profile includes a base with a substantially C-shaped cross-section having upper and lower sections and a vertical or oblique section therebetween. An elbow piece formed at the lower section acts as a hinge for allowing elastic splaying of the lower section to snap-engage the edge of the inner door member. The lower section includes a projection that interfaces with an entire perimeter of the inner door member and that is directed toward the upper section to engage with a corresponding grooved seat formed on the inner door member. The bellows portion forms a seal with the cabinet.

A slush-moulding method combined with cross-linking, including the filling of a tank with a suitable quantity of ground polymer blend and the coupling of said tank with a heated mold is provided. The closed system thus obtained is moved in order to transfer the powder onto the mold, so as to carry out on the latter a layer of completely or partially melted powder. Before and after a stage of stripping of the leather off the mold, said leather is cross-linked by means of radiations.

Slush-molding method for the manufacture of imitation leathers, in particular for the upholstery of cars

A process for preparing a molding element for car bodies comprising the steps of: manufacturing a main body (,) of elongated conformation and manufacturing a continuous support element (,) carrying attachment projections (,) which are then connected with the main body (,) for engaging a corresponding anchoring region (,) formed on a car body (,); the attachment projections (,) are rigidly in engagement with the continuous support element (,) which is fitted by sliding in a longitudinal housing (,) formed in the main body (,)and then axially fixed to this latter.
