摘要:
A filter assembly, including an air cleaner, has an auxiliary flow component having a mounting flange extending into a gap between a housing port and a conduit in trapped relation to mount the auxiliary flow component to the port and the conduit at the interface thereof. The port and conduit are mounted to each other with the mounting flange therebetween in permanently captured sandwiched relation, without detachment fasteners.
摘要:
A filter includes a filter element mounted to a base and having first and second end caps spaced axially along an axis. Fluid to be filtered flows laterally through the filter element and axially through a hollow interior and through an axial flow opening of the second end cap. The filter element is mounted to the base solely by the second end cap independently of the first end cap, eliminating the need for a third component traditionally needed for mounting a housing cover to the base and enclosing and/or sealing and/or retaining the filter element in the housing.
摘要:
An air filter element has a cylindrical filter media sleeve axially slidable along and around an inner liner from either axial end of the sleeve. First and second end caps at distally opposite axial ends of the liner and sleeve each have a central aperture, the aperture in the first end cap providing air flow therethrough in communication with the hollow interior of the liner, the aperture in the second end cap retaining a closing cover. The cylindrical filter media sleeve extends axially along the inner liner and is axially retained between the cover and the first end cap. The cover is removably mounted to the second end cap in snap-in relation and axially retains the sleeve on the inner liner.
摘要:
A filter (12) has a resiliently compressible thermally and chemically resistive combined unitary frame and gasket member (22) extending along its perimeter (18) and supporting a filter media element (16) and sealed to both the filter media element and the housing (20). One or more flange portions (34, 72, 94, 96, 118, 130) have one or more hollow channels (36, 74, 90, 92, 120, 132) deformed by engagement with the housing and reducing required closure force of the housing thereagainst.
摘要:
A filter element support tube has a pair of axially extending spines and first and second sets of oppositely laterally extending half-rings axially offset from each other. The support tube is efficiently manufacturable, and desirably provides a constant diameter along its axial length.
摘要:
A fastener retention system, including for a filter housing, applies an axial retention force in a plastic molded structure having a bore in a standing tower extending along an axis. A fastener extends axially in the bore and has a first axial end retained in the bore in snap fit relation, and a second distally opposite axial end extending axially beyond the bore for mating with a retaining member holding a cover on a base in a filter application in assembled condition. The fastener is secured to the tower in permanent snap fit relation. The fastener is axially slid into the bore before crystallization and hardening of the plastic. The fastener is axially trapped in the bore between spaced facing abutments, and is anti-rotationally keyed thereto.
摘要:
A filter assembly and filter element are provided utilizing a given volume of space effectively and efficiently with low restriction. An irregular shape filter is provided to fit the space, including a filter element circumscribing an inner plenum and having an axially extending sidewall. The sidewall has a differential axial height as it circumscribes the inner plenum.
摘要:
A filter assembly, panel filter element, and servicing method is provided for reducing inlet flow restriction from a housing inlet into an inlet plenum and reducing outlet flow restriction from an outlet plenum to a housing outlet.
摘要:
An ejector is provided for an induction system in a vibratory system generating vibration, including a dust ejector for an air induction system of an internal combustion engine. An ejection valve is provided by an inertial mass inertially activated and driven by the vibration to discharge contaminant from the induction system.
