The shield has at least one first shield part shaped to cover at least some of the predetermined region of the workpiece, at least one second shield part, and a fastener or the like securing the second part movably relative to or removable from the first part such that the first and second parts together achieve an optimum shape fully covering and shielding the predetermined region of the plate workpiece.

Abstract: In a device for separating solid particles from liquids and gases in flexible disposable plastic containers, a plurality of filter elements, consisting of flat, elongate support grids with filtrate drain channels and a covering, all-round closed filter medium, are connected to form a filter package and enclosed by a flexible plastic container. This disposable filter system is operated in a pressure vessel and can be compressed there by applying an external pressure in such a way that the residual volume of the suspension is considerably reduced. As a result of the stable design, backwashing of the filter elements is possible, which prevents the build-up of a dense layer of solid particles and can therefore lead to increased filtrate flow.

Abstract: Security flaps for use with cash trays and cash trays including such security flaps are disclosed. An apparatus includes a cash tray having a base and a plurality of walls that extend from the base and define a plurality of paper-currency compartments. A plurality of distal edges of the walls define openings of the paper-currency compartments. A spring-biased security flap is coupled to the cash tray and adapted to engage or be immediately adjacent the distal edges of the walls of at least one of the paper-currency compartments to cover the corresponding opening.

Abstract: The invention describes a pinching device for controlling flows in elastic tube lines. The pinching device comprises two wheels, wherein the first wheel is designed as an eccentric wheel and is fastened eccentrically on a drive shaft and the second wheel is fixed in a predefined position relative to the eccentric wheel, wherein the position of the second wheel can be adjusted. The eccentric wheel can be rotated via the drive shaft about the eccentric axis of the eccentric wheel in the direction of the second wheel in order to pinch a tube positioned between the two wheels.

Abstract: The present invention is directed to a system for dosing an inhaling composition. It is preferably integrated into an e-cigarette. The system comprises more than one component for the inhaling composition. A first container (30) can be provided for a first component for the composition. A second container (31) can be further provided for a second component for the composition. Moreover, a dosing arrangement (10, 11, 40) can be arranged that is configured to automatically reduce the dose of at least the second component over time.

Abstract: The invention relates to a device for separating solid materials out of liquids or gases and for discharging solid material. The device comprises a pressurised container and at least one filter element, the at least one filter element being arranged in a flexible container which is arranged in the pressurised container and is sealed tightly relative thereto. The pressurised container comprises at least one outlet for discharging the solid material and the flexible container comprises at least one discharge connection, the discharge connection of the flexible container being guided through the outlet of the pressurised container and sealed tightly relative to the pressurised container. In this case the outlet and the discharge connection of the flexible container can be closed and sealed by means of a closure mechanism relative to the environment outside the flexible container and the pressurised container.
