Each wall component (23) inserts with its edge parts (25) into two opposing side wall tracks. On one side of each wall component is a lower edge part (25) convolution (27), and on its other side is an upper such structure (26). When the wall component is pushed downward into the tracks, it is deformed by contact with the track sides against which the edge parts of the wall are tensioned by spring ...

A piston engine for converting energy of a medium supplied under pressure into gaseous or vapour form for mechanical work, the piston of which has a cylindrical casing which is somewhat longer than the length of stroke of the arrangement and a wall orientated at right angles to the casing, as a result of which a closed space is formed in the cylinder, which piston has a duct arranged in such a man...

The separator is intended specifically for sand, oil, gasoline or grease separation. It consists of a connection for a service well and a separation container (1, 2). The separation container is made from two essentially identical, outwardly bent parts (1,2), which have the shape = a rotator body, and which parts are joined by a horizontal binding (5) running along the middle of the separation con...

The separation system is intended especially for sand, grease separators. Each separator has a service well (1) and a container for the separated material (2). The system consists of basic parts such as a service well part (3) as well as of at least one additional part (6, 7), or optional part. According to the system, at least a series of separators are to be manufactured such that the basic part...
