Abstract: A description is given of a paper valve bag with an inner panel which is located at the paper-bag end which is located opposite the paper-bag end with valve, and, on its surface which is directed toward the sack interior, the inner panel has an opening aid which has a higher modulus of elasticity than the inner panel. The opening aid, which may be a tear-open strip or a tear-open thread, projects beyond the inner panel at at least one surface-area end of the latter. Such paper valve bags are used for fine-grain, pulverulent and/or free-flowing materials, in particular ready-to-use mortar.

Abstract: A device for delivering fuel from a storage tank to the engine of a motor vehicle, having a two-stage feed pump driven to rotate by an electric drive motor. The preliminary stage of the feed pump is embodied as a side channel pump whose partially ring-shaped supply conduit has in its pump course a cross sectionally reduced region, which is constituted by means of a reduction of the conduit depth and in which the fuel flowing through the supply conduit is maintained at a constant pressure level so that the length of the supply conduit effective for a pressure increase can be reduced to achieve a quick increase of delivery pressure.
