Provided is a container having a detachable lid that is suitable for use as a reusable oil filter and can improve the disassembling and assembling efficiency and minimize the weight. The container 1 suitable for use as an oil filter essentially consists of a casing 2, a set plate 3 closing the lower end of the casing 2 and a lock ring 4 that fastens the set plate 3 onto the casing 2. The casing 2 is provided with a radial outer flange formed around an open end of the main body thereof 22. The radial outer flange 23 is provided with three stop projections 25, three notches 26 and three biasing projections 27, the members of each threesome being arranged at a regular angular interval and each threesome being arranged at different angular phase positions from those of the other threesomes. The outer periphery of the set plate 3 is provided with three stop recesses 41, three notches 42 and three engagement rims 43, the members of each threesome being arranged at a regular angular interval and each threesome being arranged at different angular phase positions from those of the other threesomes. The outer periphery of the lock ring 4 is provided with three engagement lugs 54 that project inwardly at a regular angular interval.
Abstract:
A filter device includes a pot-shaped filter housing (1) that defines a longitudinal axis along which a filter element (13) can be inserted into and removed form the filter housing (1). A retaining device detachably retains the filter element (13) in the filter housing (1) and has first and second retaining elements on the inner side of the filter housing (1) and on the filter element (13) and interacting with one another. At least one set of the retaining elements has a shape coaxial to the longitudinal axis of the filter housing (1) and forms at least a part of a thread. When the filter element (13) is rotated about its longitudinal axis, it is locked in a form-fit.
Abstract:
This filter-drier for removing moisture from a refrigerant includes a casing having an inlet for receiving refrigerant, an outlet for discharging refrigerant and a molded core, formed from dessicant and a binder, and disposed in the casing between the inlet and the outlet and receiving refrigerant flow therethrough. The molded core includes an outer surface at least in part engaging the inner surface of the casing. The core is held within the casing against axial movement by bonding with the casing or by an indentation protruding into the core or both.
Abstract:
A cartridge filter is provided having a housing body, a sump releasably attached to the housing body, and a filter cartridge within the housing body releasably attached to the housing body by a screw connection. The sump is attached to the housing body by a separate screw connection. The screw connection includes a first screw formation on the sump having a sloped screw surface and, at the leading end, a lug projecting above the sloped screw surface. A second screw formation is also provided on the housing body having a sloped screw surface along which the lug can run. A further projection is positioned on the housing body to engage the leading end of said first screw formation and to deflect the lug so that the first screw formation hooks over the trailing end of the second screw formation, when the connection is fully tightened.
Abstract:
The present disclosure utilizes a unique system for initially installing, removing and transporting cartridge disk stacks, the apparatus includes a center post member; a connecting member, operatively positioned relative to the center post member and operatively connected thereto; and a adapter member member, operatively connected to the center post member, for supporting at least one disk thereon when the center post is operatively connected to a housing base and for supporting at least one disk during the installation/removal of at least one disk from the housing base. Systems and methods for utilizing the apparatus are also disclosed.
Abstract:
A filter assembly includes a bowl assembly and a head member enclosing a filter cartridge. A filter center tube is permanently fixed to the bowl but allowed to rotate within a pocket in the bottom of the bowl. The top of the center tube is threaded for fastening to a stud on the filter mounting head. The center tube cannot be threaded onto the stud without the filter assembled over the center tube and into the bowl. In order to assemble the bowl to the head, the operator must turn the outside of the bowl. If a filter is not present, the bowl will turn independently of the center tube and no torque is transmitted to the threads. When the filter is properly installed, a series of tabs or features spaced around the inner perimeter of the wall of the bowl interlock with corresponding grooves or features in the outside diameter of the end cap of the filter. Tabs or features on the outer diameter of the center tube also interlock with grooves or features in the inside diameter of the end cap. The interlocking arrangement on the outside diameter and inside diameter of the end cap forms a lock that then allows torque transmission from the bowl, through the end cap, to the center tube. This arrangement permits the threads to engage and the bowl assembly to be installed.
Abstract:
A filter element for hydrocarbon emissions in, e.g., marine diesel engine applications, comprises a wound mat received within a filter bag. An annular end cap is bonded to one end of the wound mat, and is sealed around its periphery to a bag ring at the open end of the bag. The bag ring is then received and retained in a seat ring in the housing. The exhaust gas stream from the engine is directed through an opening in the end cap and through the wound mat and bag for removal of hydrocarbons and contaminants.
Abstract:
A filter assembly for filtering water from an external source, the filter assembly includes a manifold assembly being fluidly couplable at an inlet to a source of water to be filtered and having a filtered water outlet and having a helical manifold mounting means. A cartridge has a cartridge top member for mating with the manifold assembly and has a fluid inlet, the inlet being fluidly communicable with the manifold assembly inlet and further having a sealing means, the sealing means isolating an inlet flow of unfiltered water to the filter cartridge from a non-wetted manifold assembly portion and having a cartridge coupler fluid outlet, the outlet being fluidly communicable with a filter cartridge outlet and being in fluid communication with the manifold coupler outlet and further having second sealing means, the sealing means isolating an inlet flow of unfiltered water to the filter cartridge from an outlet flow of filtered water from the filter cartridge and having helical cartridge mounting means for cooperatively engaging the helical manifold mounting means.
Abstract:
An air filter housing (12) includes twist and lock structure (46) having a first position (FIGS. 5, 6) permitting axial movement (120) of a cover (44) and base (38) relative to each other, and being rotatable in a first direction (48) from the first position (FIG. 6) to the second position (FIG. 7), and in the second position (FIG. 7) preventing axial movement of the base (38) and cover (44) relative to each other, and being rotatable in a second opposite direction (78) from the second position (FIG. 7) to the first position (FIG. 6). Anti-rotation lock structure (80) provides a rotational retention force holding the twist and lock structure (46) in the second position (FIG. 7).
Abstract:
An air filter housing (12) includes twist and lock structure (42) having a first position (FIGS. 5, 7, 10) permitting axial movement (66) of a cover (34) and base (36) relative to each other, and being rotatable in a first rotational direction (44) from the first position to a second position (FIGS. 4, 6, 9, 12), and in the second position preventing axial movement of the base and cover relative to each other, and being rotatable in a second opposite rotational direction (64) from the second position to the first position. Anti-rotation lock structure (70, 110, 140) provides a rotational retention force holding the twist and lock structure in the second position. The anti-rotation lock structure includes an arm (74, 112, 142) flexibly bendable about a bend line extending parallel to the axis (14) of the housing.
