A filter assembly for filtering a wash fluid to be circulated by a circulation pump in a dishwasher appliance includes a discharge blade defining lateral, transverse and vertical directions. The discharge blade includes a blade hub and a pair of opposing blades, and each of the opposing blades extend outward from the blade hub to a blade tip along the lateral direction. Further, each opposing blade may include a leading edge, a trailing edge, a top surface, and a bottom surface. The trailing edge of at least one opposing blade may be spaced apart from the leading edge along both the transverse and vertical directions, and may define a curve extending between the blade hub and blade tip along the lateral direction. Still further, the top surface of the at least one opposing blade may define a slope between the leading edge and the trailing edge along the transverse direction.

The present invention is a filter mechanism provided in a pump or the like, and the purpose thereof is to provide a filter mechanism that can eliminate foreign matter adhering to the surface of a filter and thereby can prevent clogging of filters because of foreign matter. According to the present invention, an area toward the inside in the direction of the radius of the filter is linked to an intake opening (235) of the pump (for example, a trochoid pump (22)) and, via the pump (22) to a pump ejection opening (trochoid pump ejection opening (215)), and an area between a filter (5) and (an inside wall surface (3i) of) a first casing (3) is linked to a low-pressure ejection opening (discharge opening (237)) for a working fluid.

This invention relates generally to a filtration process and apparatus for separating valuable or harmful process liquids from mixtures or slurries that contain such liquids and solid particles. In particular, the invention relates to a filtration process for separating Process Liquid from a feed slurry that comprises a mixture of the Process Liquid and solid particles, the process employing a Sweep Liquid that is less dense than the Process Liquid.

A suction head for connection to a fuel hose in a fuel tank has a base member made of an injection molding material. The base member has a peripheral wall surface provided with cutouts and also has an end face opening. A cap closes off the end face opening. A connecting socket for the fuel hose is provided on the suction head. A first filter element is received inside the base member. A second filter element covering the cutouts is provided and is made of a filter fabric, wherein the filter fabric is a twill weave fabric or a satin weave fabric. The filter fabric has a mesh size that is greater than 10 m and smaller than 25 m. A power tool with a four-stroke engine is provided with such a suction head in the fuel tank.
