  • Patent number: 5074202
    Abstract: A centrifuge comprising a basin (9) adapted to receive centrifuged juice and in which is disposed a basket (1) comprising a perforated screen (2) and a lower ring (3) which is adapted to couple in rotation with a drive (4) secured to a motor shaft (5) and which comprises a skirt (8) extending downwardly and outwardly. The basin (9) has in its lower portion a gutter (11) limited toward the drive (4) by a small circular collar (12) extending upwardly between the drive (4) and the skirt (8). The skirt (8) of the basket (1) has on its lower wall (15) vanes (16) adapted to create, during rotation of the basket (1), an air current directed downwardly and toward the periphery (14) of the basin (9), so as to retain the juice in the gutter (11).

  • Patent number: 4978838
    Abstract: Electronic control device of the electrical supply of a heating resistance (1) adapted to heat a cooking or grilling enclosure (2) such as, for example, the heating enclosure of a toaster. A detector (9) detects the temperature prevailing in the enclosure (2) and is electrically connected to an electronic timing circuit (7) adjustable according t a selected temperature (To) chosen by the user, and is adapted particularly to control the opening of a switch (5) mounted in series with the resistance (1). The detector (9) is mounted outside the enclosure (2) and comprises a variable resistance (10), for example a thermistor, which is in thermal relationship with a calibrated resistance (11), and which is electrically connectd to the timing circuit (7) so as to control this circuit. The thermal characteristics of the detector (9) are such that the timing circuit (7) controls the opening of the switch (5) practically at the instant at which the heating resistance (1) achieves the selected temperature (To).
