Abstract:
A form-sustaining disposable liquid fuel filter cartridge permanently confining a filter element has spaced apart noncoaxial ported resilient abutments on a flat wall of the cartridge housing facing in a common direction to provide a tripod mount for the cartridge and self-adjusting seals for the inlet and outlet passages provided by the ported abutments when the cartridge is mounted on its flat supporting base by a resilient sheet metal spring clamp exerting a biasing force offset from each of the abutments. The rectangular high capacity filter element within the cartridge is accordion pleated and longitudinally corrugated to bias the edges of the element against the walls of the cartridge to which the edges are bonded when the filter element is packed during assembly and to provide enlarged nonclogging entrance openings for the element. Filter elements may be placed in series in a single cartridge for dual filtering of the fuel and an automatically pierced initially sealed ported abutment used to keep contaminants out of the downstream side of the filter element before use.
