    摘要: A fastener retention system, including for a filter housing, applies an axial retention force in a plastic molded structure having a bore in a standing tower extending along an axis. A fastener extends axially in the bore and has a first axial end retained in the bore in snap fit relation, and a second distally opposite axial end extending axially beyond the bore for mating with a retaining member holding a cover on a base in a filter application in assembled condition. The fastener is secured to the tower in permanent snap fit relation. The fastener is axially slid into the bore before crystallization and hardening of the plastic. The fastener is axially trapped in the bore between spaced facing abutments, and is anti-rotationally keyed thereto.

    摘要: A filter includes a filter element mounted to a base and having first and second end caps spaced axially along an axis. Fluid to be filtered flows laterally through the filter element and axially through a hollow interior and through an axial flow opening of the second end cap. The filter element is mounted to the base solely by the second end cap in rotational relationship independently of the first end cap, eliminating the third component traditionally needed for mounting a housing cover to the base and enclosing and/or sealing and/or retaining the filter element in the housing.

    摘要: A filter (10, 10a) includes a housing (12, 12a) extending along an axis (14). and having an inlet (16, 16a) at one axial end (18, 18a) of the housing and having an outlet (20, 20a) at a distally opposite axial end (22, 22a) of the housing. One or more pleated filter elements (44, 44a, 44b, 44c, 44d) in the housing are pleated along a plurality of bend lines (46, 48) extending axially. The filter element has a plurality of wall segments (50) extending in serpentine manner between the bend lines. The wall segments extend axially between upstream ends (52) and downstream ends (54) and define axial flow channels (58, 62) therebetween. The upstream ends of the wall segments are alternately sealed (56) to each other to defme a first set of flow channels (58) having open upstream ends (60), and a second set of flow channels (62) interdigitated with the first set of flow channels and having closed upstream ends (64). The downstream ends of the wall segments are alternately sealed to each other (66) such that the first set of flow channels have closed downstream ends (68), and the second set of flow channels have open downstream ends (70). Fluid to be filtered flows substantially directly axially through the filter element (44) or elements (44a, 44b, 44c, 44d), through the open upstream ends of the first set of flow channels then through the wall segments then through the open downstream ends of the second set of flow channels. A gasket (82, 82a, 82b, 82c) seals the filter element to the housing.
