689,661. Filters. PUROLATOR PRODUCTS, Inc. Dec. 8, 1950 [Jan. 11, 1950], No. 30087/50. Class 46 A replaceable filter unit comprises a pleated filter body of resin-impregnated paper arranged in tubular form and with the pleats extending substantially radially, end discs of resin-impregnated paper closing off opposite ends of the body, the discs being bonded, by a thermosetting resin adhesive similar to the resin impregnating the filter body, to opposite end edges of the pleats, and having turned-down rims bonded by thermosetting resin adhesive to folds of the pleats. Paper impregnated with phenol formaldehyde resin solution is formed into a tubular body with pleats 12, Fig. 2, extending radially and surrounded by a perforated cover 16. An upper end disc 18 and a lower 19 (not shown) each having a central hole of smaller diameter than the hole 13 extending through the body are coated on one side with a phenol formaldehyde resin cement layer 22. The upper and lower end edges of the pleats 12 are also coated with the same cement and the discs then applied thereto with heat and pressure. Pressure is simultaneously applied to the outer edges 26 of the discs (which extend beyond the periphery of the body) and to the inner edges 24 to turn them down over and secure them to the pleat folds 17 and 15 respectively as shown in Fig. 2. The hole 13 has within it a helical coil 14 (not shown) extending from top to bottom of the unit between the inner rims of the discs against which coil bear the inner longitudinal folds 15 of the pleats. The helical coil 14 may be replaced by a perforated metal cylinder 30, Fig. 3. Instead of the inner edges of the end discs 18a, 19a being turned down, guide rings 32, 31 respectively, held in place by the end discs, are provided. In a further modification, Fig. 4 (not shown), the arrangement is the same as in Fig. 2 except that the outer.edges of the discs are not turned down over the pleats 17 but merely project slightly beyond them radially.
Abstract:
A filter head assembly includes a filter head and a threaded bayonet connection adapter having a rotational position tolerance improving retainer ring. The rotational position tolerance improving retainer ring providing for and enabling the critical further deformation of the rotational position tolerance improving retainer ring beyond the predetermined final assembly torque to achieve the required critical final rotational position of the threaded bayonet connection adapter for the correct operation of the open and locked position indicators on the filter head.
Abstract:
A water purifier structure includes a container assembly and a buffer unit mounted in the container assembly. The container assembly includes a housing and a cap unit. The housing has a first receiving section and a second receiving section. The second receiving section of the housing is provided with a retaining portion. The buffer unit is mounted in the second receiving section of the housing and includes a positioning ring secured in the retaining portion of the housing, and a cushioning member mounted in the positioning ring. The cushioning member is elastically movable in the positioning ring. When the cushioning member is compressed by a force, the cushioning member is contracted and elastically deformed toward the second receiving section of the housing, to form a buffering force.
Abstract:
A fluid filter comprising a housing, a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, a filter element separating a raw side and a clean side from one another, and a valve unit. The valve unit comprises a valve plate arranged concentrically in the housing and having the shape of a circular ring disc, having valve openings and a flexible circular-ring-disc-shaped valve membrane arranged on the valve plate. The filter element comprises an axially protruding pressure-exerting ring shaped as a circumferential annular collar on the end face thereof facing the valve unit when installed. When installed in the housing, the filter element, with an end face of the pressure-exerting ring, presses the valve membrane axially onto the valve plate. The valve membrane, with the membrane region thereof pressed by the pressure-exerting ring onto the valve plate, forms a seal separating the raw side from the clean side of the fluid filter.
Abstract:
A filter assembly comprises a housing open at one end, a filter element therein, and a plate at the open end enclosing the filter element within the housing. The filter assembly further includes a fluid flow control assembly disposed between an end of the filter element and the plate. The fluid flow control assembly includes a check valve and a relief valve seat upon which the check valve abuts to prevent flow of fluid through a by-pass passage. The check valve is held in a sealed position against the relief valve seat by a biasing member retained by the relief valve seat. The force of the biasing member is overcome when pressure in the fluid acting upon the check valve reaches or exceeds a certain level, causing the check valve to move away from the relief valve seat, and permitting the fluid to flow through the relief valve assembly to an outlet opening of the filter assembly, bypassing the filter element of the filter assembly.
Abstract:
Filter and replaceable filter leaf apparatus are provided. The filter includes a housing defining a cavity having fluid inlet and outlet ports and a lid member with a manifold coupled to the outlet port and being adapted to conduct a fluid flow between the outlet port and a plurality of attachment areas. Replaceable filter leafs are selectively movable through an opening into the housing cavity and attachable with the manifold at the plurality of attachment areas. The replaceable filter leafs include a filter envelope consisting of a filter panel, a nozzle member on the filter panel and defining a passageway adjacent an opening in the filter envelope for conducting fluids therethrough. The nozzle member is selectively attachable onto the manifold of the polishing filter apparatus at any one of the plurality of attachment areas.
