Abstract: A sedimentation separator for separating solid fractions from a mixture consisting of air, liquid and solids fractions comprises a sedimenting vessel to which an air-separating unit is connected upstream. In an intermediate vessel arranged between the air-separating unit and sedimenting vessel there is arranged a float which closes off an air duct when the level of sediment in the sedimenting vessel has reached a predetermined height. Liquid purified by sedimentation is suctioned off from the upper end of the sedimenting vessel by means of a jet pump.

Abstract: A filter cartridge, which is suitable in particular for purifying dental waste waters, has a housing with three different spatial regions which receive three different filter materials having different filter properties. The first filter material is preceded by a sedimentation space.

Abstract: For the purpose of attaching a flush end portion of a pipe to a quick-coupling system it is proposed to equip a coupling component, which is provided with a coupling head, with a connecting portion which is capable of being firmly connected to the outside of the end portion of the pipe, for example using a fixing screw.

Abstract: A bottle for delivering predetermined volumes of liquid has two different standing surfaces (12, 14) and an immersion tube (48) whose inlet opening lies near one of said two standing surfaces. By standing the container on a first and then a second of said two standing surfaces, two predetermined volumes of liquid can be delivered without visual checking.
