    Abstract: The filter element includes a filter medium having an axis and forming a channel extending substantially axially, a first and a second end plates, each end plate covering one axial end of the filter medium and being sealingly mounted on the axial end, the first end plate having an opening in fluid communication with the channel, whereby a liquid to be filtered can flow through the filter medium towards the channel and out of the filter element through the opening, or reversely. The filter element further includes a protrusion fixedly secured to the first end plate and extending outwardly from the first end plate, the protrusion being substantially tubular and having a through hole in fluid communication with the first end plate opening, the protrusion forming a female coupling piece of a male-female connector, and a locking member capable of releasably locking a male coupling piece of the male-female connector in the female coupling piece.

    Abstract: What is provided is a water filter assembly comprising a filter cartridge. The filter cartridge comprises a filter head comprising an inlet port; an outlet port; and a filter key integrally formed on the filter head between the inlet port and the outlet port. The filter key consists of exactly one laterally extending finger that is integrally formed on the filter key. The filter key is integral with the filter head as a one piece construction to form a more water-tight seal on the filter cartridge and help prevent the filter key from being separated from the filter cartridge. The finger may have a substantially polygon-shaped cross-section to more efficiently and quickly interlock the filter key with components on a filter receiver. As a result, the filter cartridge may be readily attached to and removed from the filter, while being securely enough engaged to avoid unwanted uncoupling.

    Abstract: A filter device with a filter body (1) has a filter bowl (3) and a filter head (5) formed by a removable locking piece of the filter bowl (3). The filter head (5) has a connection point (15) for an unfiltrate flow and a connection point (27) for discharging a filtrate flow. A filter element (7) containing filter material (11) is connected between the connection points (15, 27) and is disposed inside the filter bowl (3) for the filtration of the unfiltrate, specifically for particle contamination. A flow directing device (33) directs the unfiltrate flow to the surface sections of the filter material (11) of the filter element (7) to provide a filtering action when the device is in operation. The flow directing device is a molded component (33) that belongs to the filter head (5) and to which a fluid flow is applied.
