Seal arrangement (48) comprising a plug member (46) configured to seal a through opening (12) in a wall (10); a pressing section (74); and a cover member (70) configured to be connected to the plug member (46) and configured to force the pressing section (74) to press a sealing element (72), arranged laterally outside the plug member (46), towards the wall (10). A kit of parts and a method for sealing a through opening (12) in a wall (10) and for painting the wall (10) are also provided.

A diffuser for an oil drainback system drain tube includes a flow chamber configured for attachment to an open end of a drain tube, wherein the flow chamber has a side wall and an end wall, and openings in at least the side wall.

The invention relates to a method for producing a gland or a gland blank (3), the method comprising a step of producing a blank (3) having a cylindrical shaft (5) formed on a screw head (4), and a blind hole (7) being formed in the blank (3) from an upper side (11) of the screw head (4) facing away from the shaft (5) in a, in particular further, method step, the blind hole (7) extending toward the shaft (5) and forming at least one first section (13), in particular having a polygonal cross section (Q1), preferably for receiving a screw tool. The blind hole (7) is deepened, thus forming at least one second section (14), which borders the first section (13), in a subsequent method step, the second section (14) forming a preferably at least partially continuous cross section (Q2) which is in particular smaller in size than the first cross section (Q1), the shaft (5) being widened in sections, thus forming an undercut (15) at the crossover between the shaft (5) and the screw head (4), in particular by at least indirectly displacing material from at least the second section (14) of the blind hole (7), in the subsequent method step.

An operation valve includes a valve that controls the flow of a fluid, a cylindrical operator that operates opening and closing of the valve by rotating the operator in a peripheral direction, and has a first step parallel to a central axis of the operator, a storage that stores the valve, includes a flow channel of the fluid therein, and has a second step corresponding to the first step on an outer periphery of the storage in a first state in which the valve is closed, and an elastic body that urges the operator toward the storage.

An agricultural machine, comprising is disclosed, wherein the machine comprises a body frame; a cutting system mounted on the body frame; a drive system mounted on the body frame; a power unit, mounted on the body frame, adapted to provide power to the drive system and/or the cutting system; and a fluid distribution system adapted to provide fluid to the power unit. The fluid distribution system further comprises a dock and a replaceable fluid container adapted to contain fluid to be supplied to the power unit the dock being adapted to retain the replaceable fluid container in fluid communication with the fluid distribution system so as to supply fluid from the replaceable fluid container via the fluid distribution system to the power unit. A method of facilitating an oil change in an agricultural machine is also disclosed.

The present invention provides a foldable oil filter unit that a drain pin thereof can be easily separated. The foldable oil filter includes a cap receiving a filter; a drain pin disposed on a bottom side of the filter; and a capturing part disposed on a bottom side of the filter and detachably, rotatably capturing the drain pin.

Disclosed is an oil drain plug apparatus, wherein the oil drain plug apparatus is mounted on an automobile component containing a fluid including oil, and the oil drain plug apparatus includes a mounting portion provided on the automobile component and having a fastening hole penetrating the mounting portion; a plug portion configured to be inserted into the fastening hole and mounted on the mounting portion; and a sealing portion for sealing a gap between the mounting portion and the plug portion, wherein the sealing portion is mounted on the mounting portion while being coupled to the plug portion, wherein the plug portion includes a plug configured to be inserted into the automobile component through the fastening hole when coupled to the mounting portion; and a cap extending from the plug so as to be exposed to the outside of the automobile component through the fastening hole when coupled to the mounting portion, and the plug portion is rotated after being inserted into the fastening hole, and is fixed to the mounting portion, wherein one or more interference blades configured to protrude from the outer circumferential surface of the cap and bend toward the plug are formed on the cap to limit the rotation angle of the plug portion relative to the mounting portion. With this configuration, easy assembly may be realized, and maintainability and repairability may be improved.
