Title: The cold stabilisation of wine using liquid nitrogen introduced to a tank containing the wine
Inventor: LOPEZ MARIO
IPC: F25D3/10
Filed: 2010-02-16
Abstract: A process for the cold stabilization of wine is disclosed. Tartaric acid is removed from the wine by rapid crystallisation using a cryogenic fluid such as liquid nitrogen. This is achieved by chilling the wine in a closed tank and feeding the cryogenic liquid into the tank such that the temperature of the wine is maintained at about -10 to 5°C. As nitrogen is inert there is no change in the wine other than the precipitation of the tartaric acid crystals and there is no possibility of tainting the wine with other less desirable coolants such as ethylene glycol. The use of an inert cryogen for cooling has the added effects of removing dissolved oxygen from the wine and protecting the wine from further oxygen exposure just before bottling thereby improving quality and potentially reducing the use of sulphur dioxide as well as also shortening the time needed for stabilisation.

Title: Horizontal platform for a scaffold and method of attachment/detatchment
Inventor: KRELLER HELMUT
IPC: E04G1/15
Filed: 2008-12-17
Abstract: A scaffolding platform or plank having end support clips and a lift-off protection device attached to each end face configured with a securing pivot lever that can be rotated or turned manually about a pivot axis that is vertical in the usage position of the platform unit. When the protection device is in an open position, the platform unit can be laid onto or lifted off from a horizontal carrier pole or pipe, the moved into a closed or lift-off protection position, is secured against lift-off from the carrier. The securing pivot lever, in its closed or lift-off protection position, is secured to prevent unintentional pivoting about the pivot axis, by means of a spring-elastic detent element, with the formation of a friction interference fit or shape-fit engagement, in a first engagement position, and whereby the securing pivot lever has a first lever arm that extends away from the pivot axis in a first transverse direction, and a second lever arm that extends away from the pivot axis in a second transverse direction. The detent element, which is configured to be movable relative to the second lever arm, in the direction of or parallel to the pivot axis, has a pressure piece acted on by means of a spring, and is disposed at a distance from the pivot axis that is attached or mounted in or on the second lever arm, or attached or mounted in or on a part of the platform unit provided in a face end region of the platform unit, and engages resiliently on the second lever arm. The pressure piece is engages when acted on by the force of the spring, into an opening of the platform unit disposed at a distance from the pivot axis, so that then, pivoting of the securing pivot lever about the pivot axis from the closed or liftoff protection position into the open position is possible only when an increased pivoting force is applied.
