Abstract: There is disclosed a removable shelf (1) for rigid containers (100) for transporting dry goods, the removable shelf (1) comprising at least one shelf locator (10, 11) usable such that the removable shelf (1) can be attached face-to-face to a wall (101) of the containers (100), or to an intermediate removable shelf (2) attached to said wall (101). In this way, one or more removable shelves (1) can be attached to the wall of a container (100). This is particularly advantageous in the case of collapsible containers (100), whereby the removable shelves (1) can thus be neatly retained and stacked within the collapsed containers (100).

Abstract: The invention relates to a recombinant bacterium and uses thereof. In particular, it relates to the use of recombinant bacteria to translocate cargo proteins into the cytosol of target cells. Said recombinant bacteria comprises a T3 secretion system under the control of a genetic regulatory circuit and a targeting module which allow the recombinant bacteria to target specific cells, adhere to these and inject their cargo into the cytosol of the target cells.

Abstract: A collapsible container comprising a base comprising a plurality of grooves located at a periphery of a top surface of said base; a first sleeve having a first set of three flat surfaces; wherein at least one first flat surface of said first set of three flat surfaces comprises an extension of said first flat surface adapted to be inserted in at least one groove of said plurality of grooves; a second sleeve having a second set of three flat surfaces; wherein at least one second flat surface of said second set of three flat surfaces comprises an extension of said second flat surface adapted to be inserted in at least one groove of said plurality of grooves; where when said first sleeve and said second sleeve are located in their respective grooves, they completely surround said base; where said plurality of grooves do not comprise a full-angled groove.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a cam, comprising a head, a body connected to said head and a leg comprising one or more flat bodies extending perpendicular to said body, where said cam further comprises at least one compressible isolation element located below said head and extending at least partially around said body.

Abstract: This pinching-shaping device includes cylindrical tools, each having a central axis of tool rotation, the central axes being parallel and the outer peripheries of the tools applied tangentially against one another to pinch-shape a strand tangentially introduced between the tools during rotation. The outer periphery of each tool has radially projecting blades distributed around the central axis, each providing a pinching surface. The pinching surface extends between first and second ends inclined to the central axis. The blades of each tool are distributed following the outer periphery, alternating inclination. When a blade of the first tool is radially interposed between the two tools during the rotation, it is radially aligned with one of the blades of the second tool, the pinching surface inclined in a complementary manner to the pinching surface of first tool's blade, pinching the strand between pinching surfaces of these two aligned blades.

Abstract: The continuous treatment device (10) includes a tank (11) of elongated shape and that determines a mixing chamber (15) which includes, at a first end, at least one inlet orifice (12) for the raw material and, at a second end, at least one outlet orifice (13) for the treated material, and also, between these orifices, at least one agitator shaft (16) equipped with blades (17) suitable for continuously mixing and advancing the material in the mixing chamber (15) from the inlet orifice to the outlet orifice. The device also includes a mixing screw (25) in the bottom of the tank, which is positioned in the mixing chamber (15), below and parallel to the at least one shaft (16), and which is suitable for being rotated, about at least one direction of rotation, the opposite way from the advance of the material from the inlet orifice to the outlet orifice.

Abstract: A device for continuous production by extrusion cooking of a co-extruded food product containing whole solid pieces, of the type including an extrusion die (20) provided with a contact face at the end of the outlet of a cylinder (11) of an extrusion machine (10) having at least one screw (13) for processing at least one starting material and driven in rotation within the cylinder. The extrusion die (20) is provided with a bore (23) for forming a continuous tubular string of the food product in a direction forming an angle with the axis of the extrusion machine (10). Directly at the outlet of the die (20) and in the axis of the bore (23) for forming the continuous string, the device includes elements (30) for directly incorporating at regular intervals the whole solid pieces (2) into the continuous string of food product without altering the initial dimensions thereof.

Abstract: Container with foldable load platform intended for transporting different pieces, so that once the container assembly is empty; it can be folded occupying a reduced space. It is characterized in that it comprises a foldable load container having two opposite side walls with the addition of a central folding line (5) and two side folding lines (6) parallel and separated by a distance from the corner joints (7) of adjacent side walls. Therefore some characteristic inner spaces are created in the folded position of the load container, which allow housing different fastening elements therein, unlike conventionally occurs wherein housing these fastening elements within the inside fold of load container is not possible.

Abstract: We have described a modular lift with a motorised cabin on a mast with a simpler, more comfortable and faster assembly with safer use than conventional mechanisms of the same type. The modular lift is made up of a carrying element or mast into which the rack has been incorporated and is formed by multiple successive modules screwed at the adjoining ends which allow it to be built to the required height, with the modules anchored via bracings. The moving parts are made up of the cabin constructed based on a parallelepiped mast that incorporates the rolling and guiding parts of the lift, the traction groups, the parachute brake, the suspension and the button control panel. Upper and lower guiding rollers are placed on the inclined sides at the rear with respect to the back wall of the cabin and attack pinions in relation to engagement with the rack.

Abstract: The invention provides a method of continuously preparing caseinate from milk proteins in non-soluble powder form in an extruder machine having two co-rotating and interpenetrating screws into which water and an alkaline reagent are introduced, and the mixture formed by the milk proteins, the water, and the alkaline reagent is subjected to a plurality of steps of kneading under pressure and of shearing with the temperature rising to obtain at the outlet from the extruder machine a caseinate paste, the caseinate paste is cooled to bring its temperature to below 20° C., a continuous thin sheet of caseinate paste is formed, and the sheet is cut up into a plurality of parallel strips, and these strips are cut up into small-sized pieces of caseinate. The invention also provides an installation for continuously preparing caseinate.
