Patent number: 9949502Abstract: An electrical appliance includes a rotating food processing screw for processing food items exiting the outlet of a chute. The screw is coupled to an electric drive motor for driving the screw in rotation about itself around its central axis. An upper part of the screw has a sweeper for sweeping the outlet of the chute, and a lower part drives down towards the bottom and presses the food fragments coming from the upper part of the screw. Food blocking elements can block the food items. An inscribed sphere, which is geometrically defined by the chute, is movable within the interior of an upper part of a chamber receiving the screw. Two zones of contact between the inscribed sphere and the blocking elements are formed, and a third zone of contact is between the inscribed sphere and the sweeper.Type: GrantFiled: May 28, 2015Date of Patent: April 24, 2018Assignee: SANTOSInventors: Nicolas Fouquet, Cedric Gelin

Patent number: 9586804Abstract: The invention relates to containers commonly used for the sale of wine, including a tap essentially comprising a stationary body and a deformable elastic plug that tends to stay closed. According to the invention, transverse grooves are provided at one of the rear corners of each of the windows in which the flanges move and, by means of the angular rotation of the cylindrical cap, said grooves can be used to lock the flanges axially in the forced closed position, before and after removing the seal, thereby hindering the opening of the tap, which requires a combined rotation and pulling movement. In addition, the stationary and moving elements include coaxial through-holes allowing the installation of a padlock preventing unauthorized persons from accessing the container.Type: GrantFiled: August 12, 2015Date of Patent: March 7, 2017Assignee: SANTOS ORTEGA COLLADOInventor: Santos Ortega Collado
