A cutting device (1) for branches, shrubs and the like, comprising: - A cutting chain (2), having a closed-path configuration; - a track-like shaped guide (3) along which said chain (2) is apt to move slidably; - a partializing member (10) for the chain (2), slidably associated with the guide (3) and apt to selectively shield, depending on the extent of its own sliding, selected portions of cha...

A system of seats is described to be used on any transportation means, e.g. aircraft, train or ship, in order to offer a high level of comfort to passengers, concomitantly reducing the encumbrances associated to such seats and thereby allowing to provide a higher number of seats, available cabin space being equal, at competitive prices. The system of seats available space being equal when compared...
