Abstract: The invention relates to a drink bag which has a pocket and makes improved cooling of the bottled drink possible via the pocket. The bag is filled with a drink and closed in a fluid-tight manner. It has a sealed dispensing section and a pocket which is attached to the flexible bag, protrudes freely into the interior of the drink-filled bag and is made from a material which is impermeable for the drink. In an inwardly lying position, the pocket has an opening to the outside for inserting a flat paddle element which has two sections. It is set in motion via the first section which lies outside the bag, with the result that this movement is transmitted to the drink filling by way of the second section which lies on the inside; this takes place together with the driving movement of the inner pocket which protrudes into the interior of the drink-filled bag.

Abstract: The invention relates to a blocking device for a beverage dispenser. The technical problem exists of providing a lock for dispensers of this type that can be opened in an uncomplicated manner by the authorized individuals but reliably prevents unauthorized individuals from accessing the contents of the dispenser, however, while at the same time not elevating the security of the lock to such an extent that a loss of a key or of a locking device would lead to a complete inaccessibility to the system, that is to say, not by the authorized individuals as a result of their negligence (loss or misplacing of the key) but by generally unauthorized individuals. To this end, the invention provides a blocking device provided for or on a beverage dispenser comprising a holding device (10) for a beverage and a cover (20) situated above the holding device while provided for covering a filled beverage supply (G). When closed, the cover, with section (21), overlaps the holding device having an edge section (11, 12).

Abstract: The invention relates to the use of a drive system worlding on the basis of the Magnus Effect which is used to provide a drive mechanism in addition to an existing drive device. The aim of the invention is to produce a drive directly in front of the front impacting fluid flow. The invention also relates to the use of a drive system for a relatively fast moving vehicle by means of a first drive system, said drive system comprising a rotating, horizontally arranged cylinder (20) provided with end disks (70) as an additional drive. A fluid flow (F), which is produced by the first drive system, enters into a channel (10) and is diverted (10?) in the direction thereof in said channel whereupon it impinges upon the rotating cylinder (20). The complimentary drive is produced in a desired direction based on the Magnus Effect.

Abstract: The invention relates to drink dispensers, particularly such dispensers in which the drink is stored in readily mixed or premixed form in a reservoir. The invention provides an improved heat or cold transmission for such dispensers. The thermal conduction between the bottom of the reservoir and a cooling plate provided in the base is improved by a freezing liquid introduced between the bottom and the cooling plate. The thermal conduction is particularly homogenized and improved by providing a cellulose layer between the reservoir bottom and the cooling plate, the layer taking up or absorbing the liquid.

Abstract: Drum lifting attachments for allowing forklift trucks to be able to raise and lower 55 gallon storage drums. A first embodiment includes a drum lifting attachment having two pairs of arcuate lifting arms positioned side-by-side to allow for lifting two 55 gallon plastic drums simultaneously. This embodiment includes a pair of arcuate arms for each drum. A rotatable rectangular flap can fold-down over the portion of the side-by-side connection between the two pairs of arcuate arms inorder to allow for the lifting of a different diameter sized drum. Optionally, the fold-down flap can have arcuate shaped sides. Optionally, plural flaps of increasing sizes can be folded down to adjust for the different diameter drums. A second embodiment includes a forklifting attachment that includes four sets of arcuate arms for allowing four 55 gallon drums to be able to be lifted simultaneously. The drums to be lifted in include standard 55 gallon metal drums, 55 gallon conical drums and drum sizes of varying diameters.

Abstract: Apparatus for lifting storage drums and the like is disclosed. A preferred embodiment includes two tubes telescopically inserted within one another whose opposing ends contain clamps to grip about indented edge ridges of a drum to be lifted. A stretched spring pulls the clamps continuously towards one another. A rope or chain is used to lift both the tubes and the drum. A lifting arrangement has the one embodiment able to lift and lower an individual drum to side-by-side arrangements with other drums.

Abstract: A plastic conical 55 gallon storage drum apparatus is disclosed. The drum includes a generally cylindrical hollow container having a top portion, a mid portion, and a lower portion. The top portion has an outer diameter which is larger than an outer diameter of the mid portion, and the lower portion wherein the top portion and the bottom portion form a cylindrical shape, and the mid portion forms a conical shape. An elastic flexible removable bumper belt can be located about the outer diameter of the lower portion of the drum. The belt has an outer diameter approximately the same as that of the outer diameter of the top portion of the container. Filled drums can then be stored side by side together during transportation and reducing the possibility that the drums will tilt and collapse during extreme lists of approximately 30 degrees or more. The belt itself can be removed and stored in the inside bottom of the drum when the contents of the drum have been emptied.

Abstract: A rotary opener and closer for screws and in particular for screw closures on jars, bottles, etc. is described having two converging side walls perpendicular to the rotary plane in the use position and which are interconnected at the ends where they have their maximum spacing by an approximately semicircular side wall. To the inside of one side wall, preferably adjacent to the end remote from the semicircular side wall, is fixed a spring steel strip with a roughened surface. This spring steel strip engages internally on said side wall, on the connected semicircular side wall and on the opposite side wall. This provides a large area for gripping the screw closure to be opened, so that it is not excessively stressed and therefore damaged at one point. Taking account of the opening direction R, a fixing point is to be positioned to hold the steel strip in such a way that the spring steel strip is tensile stressed both on opening and closing, i.e.
