Abstract: The invention relates to a method for forming an edge enclosure. A defining mould (100) is provided, in which at least one disc-shaped element (2, 3, 4, 5, 6) is arranged and which surrounds the element at least at the edge. The at least one element is set in rotation (40), whereby casting compound introduced into the defining mould localises in the edge region (7) of the at least one element and cures there, so as to produce an edge enclosure (10) which at least partially surrounds the at least one element in a form-fitting manner.

Abstract: The Invention concerns a filter device comprising a vessel, at least one suspension feed line and one suspension removal line in each case, at least one filtrate removal line and at least one filtering means disposed in a stationary manner. According to the invention, the at least one suspension feed line is disposed in the vessel wall and/or in the vessel interior, wherein the suspension feed line is disposed such that the suspension can be supplied to the vessel tangentially and the rotating flow of the suspension which is thus produced over the filtering means prevents the surface thereof from clogging. Further, the invention concerns a filtering means. Finally, there is disclosed a filtration method, which is performed in the filter device.

Abstract: A hand-operated portable tool to detonate blasting charges on a workpiece, including a tool body; a front unit, supported by the body and accommodating an explosive cartridge, for engagement with the workpiece; and a rear unit, supported by the body, including an igniting mechanism for the cartridge. The front unit is movable into a retracted position, with the rear unit being releasable only in the retracted position of the front unit. The tool body includes a first handle to release the igniting mechanism, a security mechanism to render the igniting mechanism inoperative, and a second handle and trigger to render the security mechanism temporarily inoperative, thereby rendering operative the igniting mechanism.
