Abstract: Protective cover for a combined shredder and compactor. The protective cover is adapted to assume a position to limit access to the cutter of the shredder when the shredder is operating.

Abstract: A container for a small quantity of milk, cream or the like, comprising a tub-shaped filling cavity (1) with a flat circumferential stiff rim (4) and a cover sheet (5) thereto by means of a sealing seam, said flat rim and cover sheet at one side being extended beyond the connecting seam (6), for forming a pulling tab (5') allowing said sheet to be pulled away for forming a dispensing opening. In the extended rim portion (4') of the stiff rim (4) a channel (7) communicating with the filling cavity (1) is formed, extending slightly beyond the connecting seam (6) and transversely to the outer boundary (8) of said seam (6), said channel (7), beyond the connecting seam (6), being surrounded by an additional sealing seam (9) which is weaker than the connecting seam portion (6') extending transversely to said channel (7), so that said pulling tab (5') can be pulled away up to said connecting seam (6' ), for uncovering a dispensing opening (7') with a fixed small dimension of said channel (7).
