A curb box for underground gas and water services includes a tubular member such as a pipe that extends from a valve in an underground line up to surface. A resiliently flexible tubular member segment is installed in the tubular member between an uppermost end of the tubular member and a lower portion of the tubular member. The resiliently flexible tubular member segment allows the uppermost end to resiliently flex relative to the lower portion. As such, if impacted, the uppermost end can resiliently yield at the resiliently flexible tubular member, thereby preventing the tubular member from being bent and rendered inoperable as a conduit to the valve in the underground line.

A hydrant has a riser pipe and a main valve. The main valve comprises a main valve body, a sealing seat which can be sealed with respect to the main valve body, a valve rod connected at one end to the main valve body, and a spindle arrangement. The spindle arrangement contains a journal/journal support arrangement, comprising at least one journal and at least one journal support arrangement, wherein the journal support arrangement has a first support and a second support against each of which the journal can be brought into contact.

Support structures for electrohydraulic apparatuses in particular of electrical and hydraulic apparatuses of irrigation systems are disclosed. The support structure is configured to be applied to a buriable well for housing and protecting such electrohydraulic apparatuses. On predetermined portions of the support structure a plurality of holes are formed, and are adapted for receiving a corresponding plurality of support means configured to hold, preferably in a releasable manner, one or more electrohydraulic apparatuses. Also described is a buriable well for housing and protecting electrohydraulic apparatuses comprising at least one such support structure of electrohydraulic apparatuses.

A motorcycle including a frame to which an internal combustion engine is associated, from which internal combustion engine at least one exhaust pipe of combusted gases departs, the exhaust pipe having an open terminal, the frame mounted on a front wheel and a rear wheel, a control board or unit included, for controlling torque produced by the engine and other parameters such as velocity of the vehicle and spatial position thereof with respect to the road surface. The motorcycle including a system to verify when the front wheel of the motorcycle detaches from the road surface during acceleration. The system includes a choke for partializing the section of the exhaust gases outlet area from the exhaust pipe, during partialization. The partialization obtained as a function of the torque produced by the engine and the position of the front wheel with respect to the road surface.
