Patent number: 10924159Abstract: The invention relates to a household electrical system, for example for ironing, comprising an appliance, such as an iron, connected to a base by a cord made up of at least: —a first electrical line formed by a first set of conductive wires for high-voltage (HV) transmission of a heating power, —a second electrical line formed by a second set of conductive wires for the low-voltage (LV) power supply of an electronic board arranged in the appliance, —a third electrical line for providing two-way data transmission between the base and the appliance; characterised in that the third electrical line is formed by the second set of conductive wires; the system also comprising a modulator suitable for modulating the voltage and/or the current circulating in the second set of conductive wires, so as to activate the second electrical line and the third electrical line or the third electrical line exclusively.Type: GrantFiled: August 10, 2018Date of Patent: February 16, 2021Assignee: LauraStar S.A.Inventors: Christophe Monnerat, Sylvain Decastel, Laurent Seydoux

Patent number: 10807049Abstract: A machine (1) for homogenising a food substance has: a container (10) with a side wall (11) and a bottom wall (12) delimiting a cavity (10?); an impeller (30) with an impelling member (31) forming an impelling surface (31?,31?,31?) that is drivable in rotation (r) about a central axial direction (30?) of the impelling surface (31?,31?,31??) for imparting a mechanical effect to the food substance; and a module (20) which has a housing means (22?) that contains an inner chamber (22,22a) and that delimits a seat (21) for the container (10), the chamber (22,22a) containing an electric motor (24). The electric motor (24) has an output drive axis (24?) with a driver device (24?) configured to drive a follower device (35) of the impeller (30). The driver device (24?) and the follower device (35) are magnetically coupled through a sidewall (11) and/or bottom wall (12) of the container (10).Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2016Date of Patent: October 20, 2020Assignee: Societe des Produits Nestle S.A.Inventors: Samer Abdo, Sylvain Decastel, Jean-Luc Denisart, Bertrand Guyon, Marco Magatti, Alexa Perrin, Didier Pont, Mohamed Raad, Laurent Seydoux

Patent number: 10631686Abstract: A machine (1) for homogenizing a food substance includes a container (10) delimiting a cavity (10?) for containing the food substance. The machine has an impeller (30) with an impelling member (31) having a generally disc-shaped or conically-shaped impelling surface (31?, 31?, 31??) that is drivable in rotation about a central axial direction (30?) for imparting a mechanical effect to the food substance in the container (10) to homogenize different phases in the food substance. The impelling member (31) has at least one opening (31a, 31b1, 31b2, 31b4, 31b4, 31c, 31c?, 31d1, 31d2) which extends through the member (31) from the impelling surface (31?, 31?, 31??) to an opposite surface (31IV) of the member (31).Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2016Date of Patent: April 28, 2020Assignee: Societe des Produits Nestle S.A.Inventors: Samer Abdo, Sylvain Decastel, Jean-Luc Denisart, Bertrand Guyon, Marco Magatti, Alexa Perrin, Didier Pont, Mohamed Raad, Laurent Seydoux

Publication number: 20190274482Abstract: A machine (1) for stirring a liquid food substance has: a container (10) delimiting a cavity (11) with a bottom (12) and a peripheral wall (13) for containing said liquid food substance to be stirred, the cavity (11) extending generally along a generally upright central container axis (14) and having a mouth (15) for removing from the container (10) said liquid food substance upon stirring; and an impeller (20) comprising an impelling member (21) which is configured to be rotated in the cavity (11) against said liquid food substance about an impeller axis (22) that is generally identical or generally parallel to the container axis (14). The impelling member (21) is configured to be spaced above the cavity's bottom (12) by: a maximum stirring distance (H) when the impelling member (21) is rotated at at a maximum stirring speed about the impeller axis (22); and a resting distance (h), smaller than the maximum stirring distance (H), when the impelling member (21) stands still.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 11, 2017Publication date: September 12, 2019Inventors: Samer Abdo, Da Mi Byun, Sylvain DeCastel, Bertrand Guyon, Johan Nieuwendijk, Mohamed Raad, Martino Ruggiero, Laurent Seydoux, Wolfgang Tuider
