  • Patent number: 6681436
    Abstract: The invention depicts a detachable brush comprising a brush portion (60) and a fastening portion (50) that extends along a first axis (C). The fastening portion (50), in order to be retained by a handle, comprises a first surface (52a) being angled in a first direction such that a normal of the first surface has at least a component in a first direction along said first axis (C), and a second surface (53a) being angled in a second direction such that a normal of the second surface has at least a component in a second direction, opposite to the first direction, along said first axis (C). The invention further depicts a handle with retainer portions shaped to receive and carry the detachable brush.

  • Patent number: 6267204
    Abstract: A device for the supply of a liquid under pressure to a flow passage (13) in a member in a shaft suspension unit (1) of a centrifugal separator, which has a stationary casing (3) and a unit, which is resiliently and oscillation dampingly suspended in the casing (3) by at least one elastical element (10), the member forming a part of the composed unit. To be able to supply liquid to the member in a sample manner with a certain controllable flow which is made sure under overpressure a first supply channel portion (19) is connected to a liquid source (16) for the supply of liquid under pressure extending through the stationary casing (3). To the first supply channel portion (19) there is connected a second supply channel portion (21) extending through the elastical element (10). A third supply channel portion (23) is connected to the second supply channel portion (21), extending through the non-rotatable part of the composed unit and having an outlet opening (24) in the flow passage (13).

  • Patent number: 6243887
    Abstract: A sewer system includes a disposal system under atmospheric pressure, a sanitary unit provided with a water trap, and a branch sewer pipe connecting the sanitary unit to the disposal system. A vacuum generator is connected to the branch sewer pipe for generating underpressure in the branch sewer pipe. The vacuum generator is connected to the branch sewer pipe in a manner that allows waste to pass through the branch sewer pipe to the disposal system without obstruction by a temporary closure element.

  • Patent number: 6228016
    Abstract: A simple but still effective sealing device to separate two openings (4, 5), which are arranged at a distance from each other in the outer casing (3) of a shaft suspension unit (1), which supports a shaft (2) of a centrifugal separator in a bearing (8, 9), the shaft extending axially through at least one opening (4) into a space surrounding the shaft (2) in the outer casing (3). The sealing device is provided with sealing elements (12, 13), one connected to the outer casing (3) and one connected to the shaft (2), which surround the shaft (2) and divide the space in two departments (15, 16) connected to one opening each (4, 5, respectively). The sealing elements form between themselves a narrow gap (14) surrounding the shaft (2), which prevents the flow of gas between the departments (15, 16).
