Abstract: A roll-up strip (100, 101) of labels (10, 11) separable by a transverse cut, distinguishing on each label a main portion (2) from at least one of the longitudinal opposite ends (21, 22) of which extends a longitudinal extension (3, 4) of a smaller width than the main portion (2) and which distal end (31, 41) defines a joining area (A) attachable to a bag by application of an accessory pressing element, the strip able to be devoid of reinforcement or filler made of plastic material, and a longitudinal cut or slit (6) in each joining area (A) of the labels. The cut or slit defines two portions (61, 62) to reduce the resistance offered by the joining area to a deformation by transverse constriction to which it is subject when the accessory pressing element is applied from the outside in the bag closing operation.

Abstract: Method for filling and closing a package including the operations of introducing two arms through the mouth, each one having or bearing a gripping tool and impressing a mutual distancing movement on the arms to expand the package with a retention mechanism which operates outside the package to grasp the walls of the package arranged between the arms and the retention mechanism while the retention mechanism approaches and fits over the gripping tool of each arm, such that when the arms move in the direction of the mouth of the package, the arms carry the grasped walls of the package to produce folds towards the interior of the package. For flexible tubular net packages, the at least one gripping tool on each arm has the shape of a protuberance and that the method includes passing through a wall of the package with the gripping tool.

Abstract: Bucket (1) for transporting and unloading products, comprising an opening at the top for receiving the products and a collapsible hinged lid (2) at the bottom of the bucket (1), the lid (2) being connected to actuation means (3 to 6) capable of moving the lid (2) between a closed and an open position for the unloading of the products by means of gravity. The lid (2) comprises at least a side support wall (2a) in motion with said lid (2) and positioned adjacent to an inner (1a) wall of the bucket (1), said support wall (2a) being intended to drive the products outward by means of friction during the opening motion of the lid (2), the lid (2) being actuated in a controlled manner by said actuation means (3 to 6) along its opening path and subsequent closing path.

Abstract: A method for providing a predetermined number of contiguous stored elements (A,B,C,D,E,F,G), that is which are touching each other, and in a line (2) in a supply chute (3) along which the line (2) may advance, these elements being essentially spheroidal, such as fruit, wherein initially the first element (A) in the line (2) is retained by retention means (4), comprising the operation of counting, by means of the emission and detection of a steady beam (6) of light, the signal variations produced in said detection by the line (2) advancing, specifically by the passage of the spaces between two consecutive elements in the line (2) through the detection beam (6), aiming the beam (6) at the gaps (7) that necessarily will be formed in the line (2) between two consecutive elements even if they are contiguous, due to the effect of said elements (A,B,C,D,E,F,G) being spheroidal.

Abstract: A bucket-carrying system that comprises a bucket, provided with sliding means; a support, that establishes a frame so that the bucket can rest in a stable support position (A) on said support; and connection means that are prepared to connect the bucket to the support mechanically, but in a detachable way, said connection means being articulated to the support to allow a certain vertical gap between the bucket and the support. This allows the bucket to adopt not only the support position (A) on the adapter, but also other positions, of which at least one is a weighing position (B), in which the bucket is slightly raised with respect to the support, and when initiating the forward movement of the support this movement is transmitted by the connection means to the bucket, making it possible for the bucket to slide, while being supported, by its sliding means, for example on a weighing scale; and another position is the coupling position (C) in which the bucket can be separated from the support.

Abstract: A dynamic weighing machine that comprises a set of buckets, a series of bucket-carrying supports and a transport system that moves the supports along at least one horizontal straight path, the buckets being able to adopt a weighing position (B) on their support in which the bucket is slightly raised with respect to the support, and the buckets comprising first and second sliding means, each one arranged on one side of the bucket and the machine has a weighing station with a scale with first and second rail means between which buckets in transit can pass through the weighing station when they adopt their weighing coupling position (B), sliding while being supported by their first and second sliding means, like a bogie.

Abstract: A method for obtaining one or more strips from a band material extending in a longitudinal direction (Y), using a cutting die with two cutting edges, there being at least two theoretic cutting start and end points on each one of the cutting edges which determine a predetermined cutting pattern. The cutting edges extend in a cutting line beyond the theoretic cutting start or theoretic cutting end points, or in both, which do not form part of the pattern. The cutting lines have a correcting section extending in a direction that is not parallel to the longitudinal direction (Y), to compensate for a lateral discrepancy between the theoretic cutting start and end points between two consecutive cutting operations.

Abstract: A transport system designed to transport buckets in a combination weighing machine that uses two endless chain drives horizontally offset at a distance A, the system comprising carriages to carry the buckets which extend between, and are joined to, the chains such that the simultaneous and coordinated motion of the chains moves the carriages along a closed path with curved sections, the system comprising control gears for the inclination of the carriages on the curved sections of the path, which comprise castor wheels actuated in a coordinated fashion with the chains around both turn axes n, at least one of which placed in the vicinity of each curved section linking the carriages and prepared to mesh with contact elements arranged for such purposes on the carriages.
