Abstract: A door locking means for a washing and/or drying machine for laundry, adapted to keep the door locked during the washing or drying cycle se­lected and to unlock the door after the end of the cycle or if the door is prematurely opened during the washing or drying cycle. 
     The means comprises a bimetallic element (5) associated both with a pin (12) interacting with the lock (13) of the door, and with an electric contact (8) connected before the general switch (4) of the machine and adapted to be closed on a conventional-type optical or acoustic warning means (11) adapted to signal the locked or unlocked state of the door. 
     The bimetallic element (5) is furthermore provided with an electric contact (1) adapted to be closed on the electric components of the ma­chine and to be activated by the element simultaneously with the other electric contact (8). 
     In this way the warning means (11) is switched on and off when the contact (7) of the bimetallic element (5) is closed and open, respectively, in the particular locked or unlocked state of the door, thereby preventing any incorrect activation of the door.

Abstract: A modular tile (10) for interlocking with other similar tiles to form a floor covering which provides enhanced traction at its playing surface and improved tolerance to sudden lateral movement. The tile comprises a plastic support grid having rectangular configuration bounded by a perimeter wall (12) and including a repeating pattern of intersecting cross members (13) with interstitial openings (15) formed inbetween. A plurality of support legs (16) are coupled to a base side of the cross junctions (14) in general perpendicular orientation. Interlock structure (20, 21) is coupled to and extends outward from the perimeter wall to enable removable attachment with other modular tiles of similar design. The interlock structure provides a continuous, uniform displacement gap (23) between adjacent perimeter walls (12) which establishes a separation distance between the range of 0.5 to 2 millimeters, and also provides a yielding response to absorb lateral forces. A continuous sheet of plastic (18) provides a flat surface cap to the tile, which enables its use as part of a continuous flat athletic floor covering.

Abstract: A door assembly comprises a door frame (2) comprising a hinge formation (4) providing a concave-curved surface (6), and a complementary hinge formation (16) providing a convex-curved outer surface (18) which may be engaged with the hinge formation (4) to allow pivotal movement of the door relative to the frame about an axis, with the surface (6) and (18) being in sliding engagement. Door closing mechanism (30) comprises a bracket (32) having an outer flange (34) and spaced parallel arms (36) between which a split pin (38) extends. Mounted around the split pin (38) is a coil spring (40), an inner end of which being located between the legs of the split pin, an outer hooked end (42) of the coil spring being located against a lip (10) of the hinge formation (4). The force tending to uncoil the spring is operative to urge the door to its closed position. Should the need arise to replace the coil spring, the door closing mechanism (30) may simply be removed, allowing a fresh coil spring to be inserted.

Abstract: The bridge includes a plurality of foldable portions or modules (M) interconnectible releasably in sequence longitudinally. Each module (M) includes a central deck member (9) and two lateral deck members (10,11) articulated to opposite sides of the central deck member (9). Respective longitudinal beams (13-16) extend from the lower faces of the lateral deck members (10,11) and, together with the homologous beams of the other modules (M), constitute the load-bearing trusses of the bridge in its condition of use. 
     Conveniently, the bridge is constructed by a method of assembly which provides for the use of a load-bearing assembly structure or forestarling (S). This load-bearing assembly structure (S) is assembled in a position of assembly on a first side (B₁) of the gap (R) to be spanned by the bridge and is then advanced until it reaches the other side (B₂) of the gap. During a subsequent stage in the assembly of the bridge, the load-bearing assembly structure (S) supports a plurality of interconnected modules (M) and guides them for sliding until they reach the opposite side (B₂). 
     Upon completion of the assembly, the load-bearing asssembly structure or forestarling (S) is connected firmly to the structure formed by the modules (M) so as to contribute to the structural strength of the bridge.
