granted European patents and European patents with unitary effect since 1978.
• Records contain bibliographic data including patent applicant and inventor, patent,
application, priority, and related application data, IPC, CPC, and EPC/ICO
classification codes, abstract, and full text of description and claims.
• Records contain bibliographic data, titles in English, French and German, and theoriginal abstract plus the English translation of German and French abstracts,
Descriptions and Claims available in German or French are machine translated toEnglish or from equivalent documents.
• Independent claims and claim groups are searchable for all claims in English.
• Standardized and normalized patent assignee names are searchable in their own
fields /PAS and /PAN.
• Numeric values of 59 physical and chemical properties are searchable in about 20,000
variants of the base and additional units within all full text fields in English.
• Keyterms, indexed and displayed in the field /KT, enhance retrieval of relevant results,
and make the evaluation of results more efficient. They are useful to broaden searchscope more precisely than Basic Index searches.
• Database records comprise all documents published for one application.
• Some of the full text has been created by Optical Character Recognition (OCR)
software. Therefore, characters may be misinterpreted, or portions of the text may be
incomplete.

Search and Display Field Codes
If multiple search terms are linked with the Boolean AND-operator, all terms are searched in the complete
database record, i.e., in all publications referring to one application. For a search in a specific publication of
the record, connect the search term and the patent kind code with the (L)-proximity operator, e.g.,
S HOLOGRA?(S)?LASER? (L) EPA1/PK limits the search to European applications EPA1.
Fields that allow left truncation are indicated by an asterisk (*).

EPFULLDISPLAY and PRINT Formats
Any combination of formats may be used to display or print answers. Multiple codes must be separated by
spaces or commas, e.g., D L1 1-5 TI AU. The fields are displayed or printed in the order requested.
The information of the latest publication is displayed by default. To display the content for all levels of therecord you can combine all display fields and formats with the qualifier .M except FA, SCAN, and TRIAL.
For displaying a particular publication level of a database record, you can simply add the kind code to theappropriate display format, e.g., ALL.A1. Fields that allow this are indicated by a number (2).
Hit-term highlighting is available for all fields. Highlighting must be ON during SEARCH to use the HIT, KWIC,
and OCC formats. The default display format is STD.M, i.e., all publication levels of one family in the STD
format.

DETDEN[DESC0001] The present invention relates to the field of agri-food.
[DESC0002] The agri-food market is full-mutation. Consumers currently
display a willingness to consume more in addition to fresh produce,
which are associated with the notion of vitality, wellness and health.
[DESC0003] This trend is also strengthened by a loss of confidence inthe processed products ("processability") by the agri-food industry, inparticular, due to the different food scanners which are sweetened inrecent years (e.g., the known cases of the lasagne to the horse's meat
are known, contaminated eggs and meats etc.). It is safe to the safetyof a food or to estimate that the food has positive health effects even
if quality criteria, which both exceed that of its simple gustatory
dimension. Thus, the "fresh" has become an integral market, bydemonstrating the success of the specialized signs in the past recent
years, or the companies for delivering fresh produce whose development
is dramatic.

[DESC0017] As mentioned above, there is a state of the technique ofinterest to implement a modified atmosphere on a pallet via an envelope.
But is included in the prior art, the present invention attaches tofarthest, and provides a convenient, convenient and automated solution.
For this purpose, the invention provides for the implementation of astation for creating an envelope, station located within the storage
chamber, which station comprises means for lowering and raising thecasing as necessary, and which comprises means for sweeping the insideof the casing with a suitable gas. A solution which is not evoked orsuggested by the prior art.
[DESC0018] For example, the document may be examined. US - 5 438 917A
a method of ripening fruit stored on a pallet, by bringing the fruits
into contact with a cooled air atmosphere, with the presence of apartition ("partition"), enclosing the fruit boxes, the "partition" does
not admit air and is sealingly attached to a.10 suction hood. In thisdocument, there is no need for a station for actuating the movement of a
fluid envelope, for lowering and raising as much as necessary around thepallet, the station further comprising means for scavenging gas from theinside of the envelope.

EPFULL[DESC0002] Le marche de l'agroalimentaire est en pleine mutation. Les
consommateurs affichent aujourd'hui une volonte de consommer de plus enplus de produits frais, qui sont associes a la notion de vitalite, debien-etre et de sante.
[DESC0003] Cette tendance est egalement renforcee par une perte deconfiance dans les produits transformes (ｫ processes ｻ) par
l'industrie agroalimentaire, due en particulier aux differents scandales
alimentaires qui se sont succedes ces dernieres annees (on citera les
cas bien connus des lasagnes a la viande de cheval, des oeufs et viandes
contamines etc...). Etre sur de l'innocuite d'un aliment ou estimer que
ce dernier a des effets positifs pour la sante sont meme devenus descriteres de qualite, qui, a eux deux, depassent celui de sa simple
dimension gustative. Le ｫ frais ｻ est ainsi devenu un marchea part entiere, en temoignent le succes des enseignes specialisees dansle frais apparues ces dernieres annees, ou encore les entreprises delivraison de produits frais dont le developpement est spectaculaire.
[DESC0004] Mais si les consommateurs veulent manger frais, 82% d'entre
eux sont aujourd'hui insatisfaits de la qualite des fruits et legumes
qu'ils achetent en grande et moyenne surface de distribution. Ces
clients notent tout particulierement le manque de gout et de maturite
des produits, la presence de produits abimes sur les etals et leurcourte duree de vie.

[DESC0018] On pourra par exemple examiner le document US-5 438 917A
qui decrit un procede de murissement de fruits stockes sur une palette,par mise en contact des fruits avec une atmosphere d'air refroidi, avec
la presence d'une cloison (ｫ partition ｻ), enserrant lesboites de fruits, cloison ｫ n'admettant aucun air et etant fixee
de maniere etanche a une hotte d'aspiration.... ｻ. En aucune
maniere ce document ne decrit la presence d'une station d'actionnement
du mouvement d'une enveloppe fluide, pour l'abaisser et la remonter
autant que necessaire autour de la palette, station comprenant de plus
des moyens de balayage gazeux de l'interieur de l'enveloppe.
[DESC0019] Toujours a titre illustratif on pourra examiner le document
WO2019/122603A1 (au nom de la Demanderesse) : Ici encore cet art
anterieur montre l'existence de procedes et dispositifs anterieurs
s'interessant a la mise en place d'atmospheres controlees a l'interieurd'enveloppes enserrant des palettes, mais ce document ne met pas en
oeuvre de station au sens de la presente invention, pour la gestion del'enveloppe et de l'injection de gaz.
