Abstract: A support unit for supporting a drain tap in a flexible bag located in a bag-in-box (BIB) liquid dispenser includes a substantially planar plate with a least one surface adapted to abut the outer surface of the box. The support unit has a slit to receive the drain tap when lead through the wall of the box and form a supporting collar around the drain tap where the plate area next to the slit tapers towards the opening of the slit, forming two tapering areas on each side of the slit. The support unit may further include an area that is convex.

Abstract: A method for manufacturing an accordion filter insert in which an accordion filter pack is introduced into a mold and a space remaining thereafter in the mold is filled with a liquefied polymer material so as to form a frame surrounding the accordion filter pack. At least one peripheral elastically deformable sealing lip, consisting of the material of the frame, is produced together with the frame and is consolidated concurrently therewith.

Abstract: A filter arrangement made up of an accordion fold pack which is sealingly arranged in a housing. The housing is deep drawn in one piece from a polymeric material sheet. A limit stop is punched out of the base of the housing. A seal surrounds the accordion fold pack and seals against the housing.
