Abstract: The patent relates to a squeezing machine comprising a juice extraction unit housed in a casing and incorporating elements for an automated sanitization of the juice extraction unit and of the environment in which the squeezing occurs, the juice is stored and served, and method for sanitising a squeezing machine.

Abstract: Juicing unit having a support for an automatic juicing machine of the type in which the juicing unit comprises one or more female drums that move synchronously with one or more male drums that allows easy removal of the juicing unit as a whole for cleaning, such that the support comprises two plates with different openings that sandwich between them the main elements of the juicing unit such as the male and female drums, both plates being joined by at least one removable rod that is fastened via an anchor that allows a strong coupling and easy opening, such plates additionally comprising elements for anchoring to other elements of the juicing unit as well as elements for anchoring to the main body of the juicing machine.

Abstract: Sweeper and filter assembly for beverage preparation machines comprising a sweeper associated with a filter, the sweeper comprising a carrier band mounted on at least two shafts. The carrier band can perform the filtering function itself as it is made from a filtering material or is provided with suitable orifices. The carrier band is flexible and preferably elastic. The shafts on which the band is mounted are supported by a casing, where at least one of said shafts engages a drive element comprising a motor and an electronic device for managing the motor. At least one scraper is provided joined to the casing in order to clean the carrier band. The motor of the drive element is independent from the motor of the juicing machine, the device having sweeping and filtering cycles independent of the juicing cycles of the main machine.

Abstract: Electrical connectors, particularly for connecting telephone wire pairs, are disclosed in which connector strips having at least one row of apertures containing wire connection terminals is provided with at least one captive wire insertion tool which can push or otherwise force wires into terminals of the connector strip to establish electrical connection. The or each tool is mounted for captive sliding movement relative to the strip to position the tool with a selected one of the apertures in which a wire connection is to be made. In one form of the invention, a tool is adapted to slide along the strip so that it can be positioned at each aperture. In a further embodiment, the strip is provided with a plurality of tools, one for each aperture.
