Title: Cleaning device for waste water
Inventor: FOSSENG AUDUN
IPC: B01D33/04
Filed: 2000-02-03
Abstract: Cleaning device having an endless filtering belt (31) guided through a waste water container (33) for filtering of waste water. The filtering belt is guided over a series turn rollers (32, 34, 36, 37) so that the belt in a certain region runs substantially horizontally with the filtrate faced downwards. Within this region there is a rod shaped blowoff device (43) for blowing air towards the filtering belt. Below the blowoff device (44) there is arranged a screw conveyor (42) for removing residues dislodged from the filter mesh. The filtering belt (31) is located adjacent to a transmission belt (51) and is pressed against the same by a clamping rail (58) within the rising section (38) of the filtering belt. The device is provided with a control device (4) adapting the filtering belt movement with the waste water supply, thus keeping the waste water surface below a certain level to provide a high degree of dewatering within the upwards rising section of the filtering belt (31). The blowoff device (43) is shaped to produce a knife shaped air beam directed towards the filtering belt from a sufficiently short distance to effect substantially full penetration through the openings of the filtering belt. The lateral edges of the filtering belt are covered by a tight cover band (66) pressed downwards by a soft elastic pressure lip (64).

Title: Method and device for improving the frictional engagement between two contact surfaces
Inventor: JOHANSSON DAN
IPC: D04H11/00
Filed: 2001-05-18
Abstract: Method for obtaining an improved but easily adjustable and releasable frictional engagement between two contact surfaces. According to the method, both contact surfaces are provided with material layers (2, 4) which, when there is low contact pressure between the contact surfaces, ensure that these surfaces are able to move comparatively easily in relation to each other, but, when there is higher contact pressure, these material layers engage in each other and make relative movement between the contact surfaces impossible or substantially difficult. This can be achieved by means of both contact surfaces being flocked with a layer of short fibres (5), in particular synthetic fibres. The invention also relates to an arrangement for obtaining an improved frictional engagement between two contact surfaces and to objects provided with such contact surfaces.
