Abstract: A fixing element for connecting the two ends of a line has two pairs of holes extending through the element. Each pair of holes is intended to have an end part of the line threaded through it in the form of a loop.

Abstract: The ironing board includes an underframe, a table frame, fitted to the underframe and at least broadly flat and having a table rim which is formed from an edge profile, and an ironing board table having an essentially flat top surface, which ironing board table, close to the periphery, is mounted on supporting portions of the table rim, At the periphery the ironing board table is held with a clearance between stop portions of the table rim, which delimit a displacement of the ironing board table in a direction parallel to the top surface thereof. The total clearance (2s) parallel to the top surface of the ironing board table has an order of magnitude of at most 4-5 mm.

Abstract: Combination of an edge retainer (5), which can be placed separately over the top edge of a rubbish bag (3) supported by an annular support (1), with an associated lid (7) which can be removed in its entirety from the edge retainer and can be placed in a closing position thereon. The edge retainer has supporting parts (25, 27, 33) at the top, by means of which it is possible to place a rim section of the lid in an approximately vertical position on the edge retainer. The lid can have a circular lid rim (19) and the supporting parts which serve to support the lid in the said approximately vertical position are adapted to support an arbitary section of the lid rim, so that, in respect of the periphery, the lid can be placed in an arbitrary position on the edge retainer. As an embodiment, the edge retainer can have been provided with a seating (31), delimited by walls, for a rim section of the lid.
