Abstract: A framed air filter that includes air filter media and a frame with four frame portions. At least one corner of the frame is a bonded, non-integral corner at which a stabilizing flap that integrally extends from a first frame portion of a pair of neighboring frame portions that meet to form the non-integral, bonded corner, is affixed to an inner sidewall of a second frame portion of the pair of neighboring frame portions.

Abstract: A kit that includes a base with a floor and four edges; a cover with a ceiling and four edges; and, four side panels, at least one of which is a framed air filter. The kit may be nestable. The kit is assemblable into an upwardly-open, horizontally-closed air-filtration assembly. The floor of the base may include multiple through-cuts and hinged connections that define multiple areas of the floor that are rotatable upward to provide multiple upwardly-protruding tabs; the ceiling of the cover may include multiple through-cuts and hinged connections that define multiple areas of the ceiling that are rotatable downward to provide multiple downwardly-protruding tabs.

Abstract: A framed air filter, comprising an air filter media having a generally rectangular perimeter with four major edges, and a frame comprising four frame portions. Each frame portion of the frame is mounted on one of the four major edges of the air filter media and met with neighbouring frame portions to form corners of the frame. At least one of the frame portions is provided by a frame piece that comprises first, second, third and fourth panels that are foldably connected by fold lines, which single frame piece is wrapped in a generally rectangular configuration so that the fourth panel comprises a forward terminal end that is abutted proximal a rearward major surface of the first panel. The third panel provides a rear wall of the frame portion with an inner edge provided by a fold line connecting the third panel to the fourth panel, wherein the inner edge is bowed.
