Abstract:
An apparatus for filtering water has an interface and a filtration/purification canister removably mountable onto the interface. Connecting the canister to the interface automatically opens a check valve in the interface to permit water to flow from the interface into and through the canister, and then back to and through the interface to an outlet port. Disconnecting the canister from the interface automatically closes the check valve, stopping the flow of water. The interface provides for water boiler expansion pressure relief, while guarding against any water contaminated downstream of the apparatus from backflowing into the filtration/purification canister and contaminating the portion of the filtration/purification canister downstream of the filter/conditioning/purifying medium held within the filtration/purification canister and thereby causing water exiting the outlet port of the filtration/purification canister to be contaminated.
Abstract:
The present application relates to apparatus for mounting on a rotatable portion (7; 7′) of a diesel filter (1; 1′) for controlling a drainage valve. The apparatus comprises an outlet (19; 19′) for draining liquid from the diesel filter (1; 1′), mounting means (23; 23′) for fixedly mounting the apparatus on the rotatable portion (7; 7′) and a manipulation portion (13; 13′) for manipulation by a user's hand which projects, at feast in part radially outward from said rotatable portion, in use. The application also relates to a finger grip wheel (13; 13′) for a diesel filter (1; 1′). The finger grip wheel (13; 13′) has a drainage outlet (19; 19′) and at least one finger detent (17; 17′) for accommodating a tip of a user's finger to facilitate rotation of the finger grip wheel (13; 13′).
Abstract:
The invention refers to a device for removing floating material from a liquid, especially from sewage (2), with at least one sieve element shaped like a filter basket (4), for example, that in a front side has an inlet opening through which liquid can flow into the interior of the sieve element, and is equipped with a drive so the sieve element can rotate around a rotation axis. The invention suggests arranging a collection device (17) within the sieve element for collecting the liquid and/or floating material, in which case the collection device (17) is attached to a pumping-out device (20) for the liquid and/or the floating material. Another object of the invention is a process for removing floating material from a liquid, especially from sewage (2), in which case a sieve device is used that contains at least one sieve element that can be shaped like a filter basket (4), for example, and is equipped with a drive so it can rotate around a rotating axis. The process is characterized by the fact that liquid and/or floating material is collected with the help of a collection device (17) arranged within the sieve element for subsequent withdrawal from the collecting device (17) with a pumping-out device (20).
Abstract:
A first discharge tube having a substantially cylindrical shape with openings at both ends is inserted through an outflow hole of a filter case and provided protruding toward the bottom surface of the tank. A second discharge tube having a substantially cylindrical shape is provided so as to cover the first discharge tube. The second discharge tube includes a first end that comes into contact with a bottom surface of the filter case, and is provided protruding from the bottom surface of the filter case toward the bottom surface of the tank. A tip end of the second discharge tube is covered by a bottom surface cover, and a plurality of discharge holes are formed in a region near an upper end of a side surface.
Abstract:
A filter device has a filter element (37) in a filter housing having a connection unit (29) forming a fluid connection to the filter element (37). The connection unit (29) feeds fluid to be purified to the dirty side (41) of the filter element (37) and is a component of the element receiver mounting the filter element (37) in the functioning position. The connection unit (29) is a component of the filter housing. The valve arrangement (61; 67, 69) is movable such that by removing the filter element (37) from the filter housing, the valve arrangement (61; 67, 69) closes and by insertion of the filter element (37) into the filter housing, the valve arrangement (61; 67, 69) opens.
Abstract:
A personal, portable drinking container has a bottle with a side wall, a closed bottom, a neck, a reservoir, and a top opening in the neck providing access to the reservoir. A cap is removably fitted on the neck to close the top opening. The bottle can have an annular formation in the side wall below the neck to prevent the neck from deforming when the bottle is squeezed. The side wall can have a pair of squeezable sides and a pair of opposed stiff sides below the annular formation, whereby the stiff sides help the bottle to rebound quickly after each squeeze.
Abstract:
A liquid filter with a replaceable filter insert and a housing having a raw liquid inlet, a central clean liquid outlet, and an eccentric liquid discharge channel. A standpipe extends above the liquid outlet and receives the insert. The insert has an eccentric closing pin. A first positioning arrangement is arranged on the clean liquid outlet and a lower end region of the standpipe so that, when the standpipe is plugged into the clean liquid outlet, the standpipe is guided into a particular position relative to the filter housing. A second positioning arrangement is arranged on the standpipe and the insert so that, when the insert is plugged onto the standpipe, it is guided into a particular position relative to the standpipe. The positioning arrangements are matched to one another so that the closing pin on the insert enters into engagement with the discharge channel in the filter housing.
