Abstract: A filter assembly for fluid filtration having a push-activated lock and release mechanism. A push filter design activates a floating key lock upon insertion and extraction, where the filter key may be used simultaneously as a lock and as an identifier for particular filter attributes. The filter base may be situated inline, and in fluid communication, with influent and effluent piping, such as within a refrigerator. The filter housing assembly may be attached to, and removed from, the filter base by a push-actuated release. Upon insertion, the filter key shifts the filter lock longitudinally to receive interlocking segments. Upon extraction, the same axial push shifts the filter lock further to align the interlocking fingers within gaps that allow for easy extraction. The specific key lock design allows a user to identify and match certain filter configurations received by the mechanical support, and reject other filter configurations.

Abstract: The present invention presents a filtration system with an integrated manifold valve. The filtration system employs only one pivotal component—the pivoting of the manifold. The manifold valve includes a dual aperture design for a two-fold alignment scheme with the ingress and egress lines of the fluid source. The invention is free of multi-component rotary valve with internal, rotatable parts, or an activation component, such as a handle, for initiating the rotary valve, allowing the user to rotate the rotational components thereof. The reduction in moveable components in this design reduces the likelihood of failure and increases the reliability of the filtration system.

Abstract: A filter for gravity-fed applications, having filter media with a hollow center, the filter being generally prone to a degradation or cessation in fluid flow due to air entrapment or air lock within the filter housing cavity, which develops during filtering. A diffuser element is introduced to pierce the entrapped air bubble, the diffuser element being an elongated structure connected to the filter housing top end cap and extending through the entrapped air bubble to the filter media.

Abstract translation: 一种用于流体过滤的过滤器组件,具有推动锁定和释放机构。 推式过滤器设计在插入和抽出时激活浮动锁定锁定,其中过滤器钥匙可以同时用作锁定,并作为特定过滤器属性的标识符。 过滤器底座可以与流入物和流出物管线(例如冰箱内)在一起并且流体连通。 过滤器壳体组件可以通过推动释放件附接到过滤器基座并从过滤器基座移除。 插入时,过滤器键纵向移动过滤器锁,以接收互锁段。 在提取时,相同的轴向推动进一步移动过滤器锁定,以将互锁手指对准允许容易提取的间隙内。 特定的键锁设计允许用户识别和匹配由机械支持接收的某些过滤器配置,并拒绝其他过滤器配置。
