Automatically controlled continuously variable transmission

The device comprises a driving hub (4, 18) coaxially connected to one shaft (20) and oscillatably engaging a number of planetary gear elements (8, 25) homogeneously distributed around the axis of said hub. The planetary gear elements (8, 25) are engaged between a driven crown wheel (6, 21) which is coaxially fastened to a second shaft (3, 23) and an intermediate crown wheel (7, 24) oscillatably linked to the driven crown wheel (6, 21). The planetary gear elements (8, 25) driven in rotation by the hub (4, 18), are guided by the driven crown wheel (6, 21) and the intermediate crown wheel (7, 24) according to an elliptic path submitting them to a cyclic reciprocating movement relative to the axis of the driving hub (4, 18). An actuator (12, 35) tends to cause the driven crown wheel (6, 21) and intermediate crown wheel (7, 24) to rotate in opposite ways in view of transmitting resultant forces counteracting their being driven by the hub (4, 18) to the planetary gear elements (8, 25).

Dynamic coupling device to transmit a rotatory motion between two shafts

The device is comprised of a plate (2) secured to a wall (3) and exhibiting an engagement recess (12) into which an end portion (11) of a supporting arm (8) on which the shelf (10) is mounted, is oscillatably introduced. An adjusting cam member (15) operable through a hole (25) formed in the shelf (10) acts between the supporting arm (8) and the plate (2) for adjusting the arm inclination and therefore the shelf inclination in a transverse direction. A set pin (21) acts between the plate (22) and the cam element (15) for adjusting the vertical positioning of the arm and therefore the shelf inclination in a longitudinal direction.

In a process for the fast cooking of pasta and the like, a metered quantity of food is introduced from the top, into a containing chamber 8 embodied in a boiler 7, in said containing chamber 8 pasta being homogeneously distributed. Subsequently water at high pressure and temperature coming from the boiler is also introduced into the containing chamber. The expansion of water in the containing chamber takes place without forming over-heated vapor so that water can homogeneously impregnate and soften pasta within a period shorter than 40 seconds. Pasta is then conveyed into a pause chamber 9 where cooking goes on for a period shorter than 40 seconds. The last cooking operation takes place in the consuming vessel 76 where pasta is finally transferred, while the final consumer is putting dressing thereon.

Process for the fast cooking of pasta

Apparatus for the fast cooking of pasta and the like

A process for cooking quantities of foodstuffs comprises introduction of food and water into a pressurized cooking chamber where the food is cooked under pressure at temperatures of over 100.degree.C. The cooked food is then conveyed into a centrifugal separator wherein excess cooking water and its vapour are removed from the cooked food by subjecting the cooked food to centrifugal force.

Process for the fast cooking of metered quantities of foodstuff

Fast cooking apparatus for dosed quantities of foodstuffs comprises a dosing device for the introduction, into a pressurized cooking chamber a desired quantity of food which is cooked under pressure at temperatures of over 100.degree. C. The cooked food is conveyed, by the pressure within the cooker, into a separator, wherein the excess of cooking water and its vapour are removed from the cooked food.
