Abstract: An apparatus for wrapping groups of products with plastic film comprises: a platform that rotates about a vertical axis and supports a group of products which, as the platform rotates, are wrapped with the film to form a package; a reel, from which the film is unwound, which rotates about a vertical axis and which can move up and down in such a way as to wrap the group in height as the platform rotates; a unit for gripping and tearing the film mounted outside the profile of the platform and designed to intercept and grip at least one portion of the film located between the group and the reel (4) once the group has been wrapped, in such a way that, acting in conjunction with a partial rotation of the platform, it tears the film at that portion to form an end or trailing free edge of film torn off by the gripping and tearing unit. The apparatus further comprises means for sealing the trailing free edge, mounted close to the platform and synchronised with the gripping and tearing unit to stably affix the trailing free edge to the wrapped product group.

Abstract: A fluid filter is provided with a case body 20 defining therein a holder 26 and having pressing portions 46 formed on the internal wall surface of the case body 20. The pressing portions 46 can compress a filter medium 30 housed in the holder 26. The pressing portions 46 are pressed against the filter medium 30 housed in the holder 26 to compress it and form a compressed region 32 at a desired position of the filter medium 30, where the rate of capturing extraneous substances S is increased. Thus, even if various sizes of the extraneous substances S are contained in a fluid introduced through the inlet 22 into the holder 26, the filter medium 30 can capture the extraneous substances S in its entirety. The degree of compression of the compressed region 32 in the filter medium 30 changes depending on the height of each pressing portion 46.

Abstract: In a system for screening off an area, a partition element substantially covers the space between two upstanding carrier elements. The partition element is catchable in the carrier elements in a temporary, unstable preparatory position. The partition element lacks the capability of remaining in the preparatory position by its own force. The partition element is further movable from the preparatory position to a fixedly locked position in the carrier elements. In a method of mounting and dismounting of a partition element on two upstanding carrier elements, the partition element is hooked in the carrier elements in the preparatory position. Thereafter, the partition element is moved to a fixedly locked position in the carrier elements.
