Abstract:
A filter housing is provided for use with swimming pool filtration systems. The housing has an enlarged interior annular space between the housing wall and the filter, so as to facilitate the creation of fluid turbulence within the housing, which promotes more efficient filtration. The housing includes a base, a cover and a securing ring which is integrally attached to the cover and which facilitates the removal and attachment of the cover to the base. The cover is also provided with an improved pressure relief valve that has a lever which is rotated to open the valve quickly and vent excess air in the housing. The housing acts as a stop for preventing further rotation of the lever.
Abstract:
An oil filter is provided which comprises a housing main body, a cover attached to the housing main body on the lower side thereof, an inner tubular member axially movably disposed in a recessed portion of the housing main body, a seal member interposed between the inner tubular member and the cover so as to provide a seal therebetween, a biasing unit for urging the inner tubular member in the direction to protrude from the recessed portion, and a filter element disposed in an oil flowing space between the housing main body and the cover, wherein when the cover is in a sate of being attached to the housing main body, the inner tubular member is pushed down into the recessed portion of the cover against a bias of the biasing unit.
Abstract:
A securing and leakage prevention mechanism of filter tube includes a filter inside, an inlet and an outlet at one end, a separated tube cover on the top, and is fixed with the tube cover by a securing ring. It is characterized in: the bottom edge of tube cover has wrapped portion outward expanding and downward extending to the bottom and connected with the plate rim of tube body, which forms a safety barricade capable of preventing outward protrusion of seal ring. The exterior surface of wrapped portion and the interior surface of securing ring form a joint curve surface, thus substantial securing and fixing and leakage prevention can be achieved.
Abstract:
An oil filtering device for an in-line filtering configuration. The device has a filter part having a micro-filtration device for filtering oil, wherein axial end faces of the filtering part are formed by the micro-filtration device. The device includes a filter housing having a lid, an inlet port situated outside the filter part for radial flow-filtering of the oil, and an outlet tort in fluid communication with a cylindrical interior space of the filter part. The device also includes a by-pass mechanism formed by an aperture provided in a closing member which sealingly engages an axial end face of the filter part, the aperture connecting the interior space in the filter part to a space exterior to said filter part. The by-pass includes a valve mechanism movable between a closed position at a lowest operating oil pressure to an open position as a function of increasing operating oil pressure.
Abstract:
A fluid filter assembly includes a housing having a closed end and an open end; a filter element operably oriented in the housing; a baffle plate mounted to operably cover the housing open end; the baffle plate including a first axial face and an outer circumferential wall circumbscribing the first axial face; the outer circumferential wall being groove-free; the first axial face defining at least a first sealing groove; and a sealing gasket oriented in the first sealing groove; the sealing gasket forming a seal between the housing and the baffle plate. Methods of constructing, installing, and servicing includes fluids filters of the type described.
Abstract:
An oil filter has a drain hole, which is internally blocked with a valve member. When oil remaining in the oil filter is drained, a drainpipe is inserted into the drain hole, so that the valve member is displaced and remaining oil is drained from the drain hole. This valve member has an annular recession to steadily support an upper end of the inserted drainpipe. Therefore, gripping force of the drainpipe is enhanced without decreasing draining performance. The drainpipe and the oil filter are connected with each other via a seal member that is provided to the oil filter. The drainpipe 80 has a removing means that holds at least a part of the seal member to pick the seal member off the oil filter, when the inserted drainpipe is detached from the drain hole. Thus, the seal member can be removed simultaneously with the drainpipe from the oil filter.
Abstract:
There is provided a filtration apparatus superior in durability dispensing with an O ring otherwise employed to attach a bowl. The apparatus includes a housing head, a housing bowl detachably attached to the housing head and surrounding a cartridge filter circumferentially to define a channel wall, and clamping means exerting force to press the housing head and bowl against each other to clamp the head and bowl together. The housing head has a portion facing the housing bowl and having a sealing portion. The housing bowl has a sealing portion providing a seal when the clamping means exerts force to allow the sealing portion of the bowl to abut directly against the sealing portion of the head.
Abstract:
A filter element assembly has at least two cylindrically shaped and concentrically arranged filter media sleeves each connected at one end thereof to an inlet plate and each connected at the other end to a closed end terminal plate. Openings are provided in the inlet plate to permit entry of liquid to be filtered into the annular space between the filter sleeves. The closed end terminal plate prevents flow of unfiltered liquid from the annular space between the sleeves so as to force the liquid through the porous media of the sleeves to effect filtration. The inlet plate includes a central area that is recessed in relation to its outer edge to define an inlet chamber capped by a planar housing lid. The inlet chamber communicates with the inlet conduit via an opening in the central area.
Abstract:
A filter assembly for filtering water from an external source, the filter assembly including a manifold assembly mountable to an appliance and being in fluid communication with the external source and a cartridge assembly, the cartridge assembly being replaceably fluidly couplable to the manifold assembly, the filter assembly includes a first and a second fluid tube, the first fluid tube being fluidly couplable to the external source being an unfiltered fluid inlet, the second fluid tube being a filtered fluid outlet, the first and the second fluid tubes each having a barbed end for coupling to the manifold assembly. A tube retainer assembly is associated with each of the first and second fluid tubes, the tube retainer assemblies each having a port being fixedly couplable to the manifold assembly, the port having a retainer bore defined therein for receiving a tube barbed end therein, a retainer ring disposable on the tube, the retainer ring compressively engaging a barbed surface of the tube barbed end and being fixedly bondable to the port for forming a fluid tight seal between the fluid tube and the retainer assembly. A cartridge assembly and a method of disengaging the cartridge assembly from a manifold assembly are also included.
Abstract:
A single cartridge filter housing assembly for the filtration of etching liquids, deionized water, slurries and other liquids used in the semiconductor, pharmaceutical and chemical industries. It comprises a bottom housing and a top housing with an O-ring in between and a nut ring engaging top and bottom housings in order to compress the O-ring thus forming a sealed cavity for the cartridge. The bottom housing holds the nose of the cartridge in a concentric recess and holds the cartridge top centered by several radial protrusions in its mouth. An inlet and an outlet at the bottom of the bottom housing for the liquid to be filtered are coaxial for easy plumbing connections. The top housing carries a vent tube to use the air within to stabilize the liquid level in spite of pressure variations because of pump action.
