1,121,896. Filter element. GENERAL MOTORS Ltd. 7 July, 1967 [21 July, 1966; 25 Feb., 1967], Nos. 32844/66 and 9117/67. Headings B1D and BIT. [Also in Division B5] A filter element, for the air intake or lubricating oil circuit of an I.C. engine, comprises a flat pleated panel of resin-impregnated paper, pleat ends joined to form pockets which open on one face to which a sealing strip 37, of polyvinyl chloride, is secured. Peripheral grooves 30 (Figs. 10-12, not shown) are indented in the pleat crowns, and the flange 45 of a peripheral metal or cardboard frame around the element engages the mould 31 into which the element is pressed and forces the liquid plastics into grooves 30 and between pleats. Frame 41 may be made in one or two pieces and forms part of the finished element. The element is passed through an oven with the mould, to cure the plastics and resin. In Figs. 10-21, the grooves 30 are formed by vibratory wheels or hammers in the uncured paper. In Figs. 4-9, not shown, the grooves are made by pressing the element down on to a central member (20) of the two-part mould in which the sealing strip is formed. In Figs. 1-3. not shown, strips (4) of stiffer plastics are applied to the element before the moulding step, which adds further plastics thereto.
Abstract:
A reusable filter system (1000) for a interchangeable pleated filter (1100), comprising: (a) a reusable frame (1200), comprising a first, second, third and fourth holders; (b) at least one flexible sheet (10410), configured to attach to at least a portion of the upper pleat tip face (10101) and/or lower pleat tip face and to extend outward from the first pleated edge (10120) and the second pleated edge (10130); and (c) at least one spline (10310), wherein the first, second, third and fourth holders are configured to be reversibly connected with each other to form the reusable frame (1200), and wherein each of the first, second, third and fourth holders further comprises a spline (10310) receiving portion sized and shaped to receive the spline (10310).
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a filtering panel (100) for a disk filter and a disk filter for water purification, comprising a metal filter cloth (16, 116) such as a stainless steel filter cloth, pre-tensioned in both warp and weft directions and fastened to a frame (10, 110) comprising a peripheral portion (11, 111), which is integral with an inner grillwork (12) and which divides the inner area of the peripheral portion (11, 111) into fields (15, 115). The frame (10, 110) comprises a plastic material reinforced with glass fibers or carbon fibres such as polypropylene loaded with fibreglass in an amount of at least 20 weight percent. Each field of the grillwork (12, 112) has an area not exceeding 10% of the inner area of the peripheral portion (11, 111). The pre-tensioning of the filter cloth (16, 116) in both directions is from at least 20% of the yield stress of the cloth (16, 116). Further the present invention relates to a disk filter comprising said filtering panels (100) and method of making said filtering panel (100).
Abstract:
Filter cartridge arrangements, features thereof and assembly for use therewith, are provided. Selected filter cartridge features disclosed are particularly well adapted for use with a safety or secondary filter cartridge, usable with media thereof projecting into an open interior of a main filter cartridge, in use. An example filter cartridge is described, with a non-pleated end and a pleated end, although variations are also described. Advantageous main cartridges are also described. Methods of assembly and systems for use are described.
Abstract:
Provided is a filter assembly including at least one end cap and at least one retainer mechanically locked to the end cap in a cavity and defining a region into which the bonding agent can flow to form a mechanical interlock with the retainer. Even if the bonding agent does not fully adhere to the end cap, the filter media will be secured in the end cap via the mechanical interlock of the bonding agent and retainer, thereby preventing end cap separation from the element.
Abstract:
A filter element has a zigzag-folded filter medium. Filter medium sections joined by a fold edge define an intermediate fold space, respectively, with a fold base and fold peaks opposite the fold base. An elongate support section is arranged in the intermediate fold space on a filter medium surface of one of the filter medium sections. The support section extends perpendicular to the fold edges between fold base and fold peak. The support section has a height extension perpendicular to the filter medium surface that increases in longitudinal direction of the support section from fold base to fold peak. The support section has a free side facing away from the filter medium surface. The support section has a width extension parallel to the fold edges. The width extension decreases parallel to the filter medium surface and perpendicular to the longitudinal direction from fold peak to fold base.
Abstract:
An air filter may include a bellows made of an air-permeable filter medium, which is folded in a longitudinal direction to form a plurality of folds, for filtering air, and a supporting frame for supporting the bellows. The supporting frame may be a substantially closed comb-like ring having a plurality of supporting teeth. At least two supporting teeth adjacent in the longitudinal direction may fix at least two folds of the bellows also adjacent in the longitudinal direction to a predefined distance from each other. The comb-like ring may include two fold blades and two outer bands connecting the fold blades. The fold blades may be inserted in a transverse direction running transversely to the longitudinal direction into respective end folds of the bellows. The two outer bands may have the supporting teeth, including high supporting teeth and low supporting teeth.
Abstract:
A filter arrangement for threadably securing to a filter head includes a housing having a surrounding wall defining an interior volume, an open mouth providing access to the interior volume and an end opposite of the open mouth. The surrounding wall has an exterior and an interior. A filter media construction is operably held within the interior volume. A sleeve, distinct from the housing, is secured to the exterior of the surrounding wall adjacent to the housing mouth and extending partially along the surrounding wall. The sleeve has an exterior and an interior. The exterior of the sleeve defines mounting threads constructed and arranged to removably mount with the filter head, when the filter arrangement is secured to the filter head. The interior of the sleeve is against the exterior of the surrounding wall. A first seal member is oriented against the sleeve to create a seal with a filter head, when the filter arrangement is secured to the filter head. A filter assembly includes a filter arrangement and a filter head. The filter arrangement is removably secured to the filter head by a threaded connection between the sleeve and the filter head. A system includes an engine utilizing a liquid and a filter assembly in fluid communication with the engine to filter the liquid. Methods of making filter arrangements include utilizing structures characterized above.
Abstract:
A filter device is configured to filter a liquid. The filter device includes a drum sized to receive the liquid and a plurality of filter panels coupled to the drum to define a plurality of discs. The liquid passes through at least a portion of one of the discs. Each filter panel includes a perimeter frame that defines a panel normal flow area and a filter media coupled to the perimeter frame. The filter media may be adapted to include a plurality of pleats.
