The peculiarity of the wheel that is being patented is that it has an internal hydraulic motor which is also of new conception. The motor comprised in the wheel can provide high torque valves while being substantially a gear motor which, in the known form, provides modest torque. The dimensional development of the invention renders it particularly advantageous in the case in which longitudinal dev...

A device is specified, comprising a protective housing having at least one opening for insertion or dispensing, a plurality of compartments able to contain bank notes and valuables, elements of support and movement able to move said compartments along a closed trajectory, and elements for moving said compartments in a direction transverse to said trajectory. The method consists in performing a mov...

Gearbox linkages, especially those used in automobile racing, have a counterweight 8 representing an auxiliary means of actuation to perform the gear shifting operation. In order to avoid heavy vibrations of the gearbox linkage, produced by self-oscillation in the resonance field, a vibrational damper 15-19 is arranged in the zone of the counterweight 8. In this way, one enhances the ease of shift...

Bank cheque having means associated therewith to duplicate the writing entered on the front of the cheque on the reverse of the cheque.
