Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for producing a compound that comprises a pseudolaminar silicate of natural origin, which is at least one clay of the paligorskite-sepiolite group, characterized in that said method comprises the following steps: defibrillating the microfiber bundles of the at least one clay in water; dispersing the defibrillated clay in an organic or inorganic liquid solvent until a stable gel is formed; adding to the dispersion at least one clay-surface-modifying agent; removing the solvent from the dispersion by means of a solid-liquid separation process and/or drying process; and deagglomerating the final compound until a powdered product is obtained. A further object of the present invention is the compound that can be obtained using said method, as well as the use of the compound as an additive or filler in composite polymeric materials in order to enhance the properties thereof, the composite polymeric material likewise being encompassed within the present invention.

Abstract: System for rolling and unrolling canvas around the loading area of transport vehicles. Two appropriate motors exert a force sufficient to move a roll whereon is rolled the canvas, the latter slidingly moving by powered guides until they sealingly cover the area where goods to be transported are placed and likewise automatically gather the canvas when discharging the goods.

Abstract: A pomade externally applied to the skin is provided and consists of soybean oil, peanut oil, wheat germ oil, rose perfume, jasime perfume, hocalito tree leaves, aloe vera and pure rain water. An apparatus for applying the pomade is employed that includes a container that has three chambers. The first chamber is for storing a plurality of cotton balls, the second chamber is for storing and dispensing alcohol and the third chamber is for storing and dispensing the pomade through a brush thereon for application to a person's body.
