    Abstract: A filter system includes a housing and a plurality of filter elements disposed in the housing. The plurality of filter elements includes one or more filter elements of a first filter element type and including one or more filter elements of a second filter element type. The system also includes a receptacle plate in the housing, the receptacle plate has at least two different mating elements for attaching filter elements thereto. The receptacle plate includes one or more first mating elements configured to mate with filter elements of the first type and one or more second mating elements configured to mate with filter elements of the second type.

    Abstract: An interconnection scheme between a filter cartridge and its corresponding manifold whereby a magnetic shear force is introduced to remove a blocking mechanism that would otherwise prohibit attachment. The magnetic shear force may also be employed to activate or deactivate a switch or valve, or engage or disengage an engagement mechanism relative to other components upon interconnection. The magnetic shear force is generated by complementary correlated magnet structures moved into close proximity to one another. The interconnection scheme may be a linear or rotational attachment of the filter cartridge with respect to the manifold. A valve assembly utilizing magnetic shear force may be employed to activate a bypass action between a manifold ingress port and egress port, thereby allowing water to flow when a filter cartridge is removed from the manifold and directing water to the filter cartridge when the valve assembly is activated.

    Abstract: A retrofit no filter no run insert for existing filtration systems manufactured without a no filter no run engine integrity protection feature. The insert is beneficial for a manufacturer that initially does not require the benefit of a no filter no run engine integrity protection feature but later requires such a feature. The insert can be installed into the existing filtration system without any modification to the existing filtration system head. The no filter no run insert prevents the equipment supplied by the filtration system (e.g., an internal combustion engine) from being operated without a filter element. Further, the no filter no run insert prevents the equipment supplied by the filtration system from being operated with an unauthorized or non-genuine replacement filter element. The no filter no run insert safeguards against damage to downstream components of the filtration system and malfunctions of equipment in which the filtration system is used.

    Abstract: A filter and its holder each have a keyed surface, one being a protruding “key” and one being a recessed “lock,” wherein cooperation of these keyed surfaces is required in order for the filter to be installed in the holder. Modification/adaptation of the keyed surfaces, by changing the location, number and length of the key protrusions and cooperating recesses during manufacture, allows various sets of mating filters and holders to be produced so that only mating/matching filters and holders may be connected together. The keyed protrusions are preferably located on an upper shoulder or on protruding flange(s) of the upper end of the filter. The cooperating recess structure inside the filter holder comprises axial recesses that allow axial insertion of the key protrusions, and hence the filter, into the holder and also a circumferential recesses portion that receives multiple key protrusions to retain the filter in the holder. This way, multiple key protrusions slide into and are retained in a single circumferential recess/slot, rather than each key protrusion being received in its own separate circumferential recess/slot.

    Abstract translation: 过滤器及其保持器各自具有带键表面,一个是突出的“键”,一个是凹入的“锁定”,其中需要这些键合表面的协作以使过滤器安装在保持器中。 通过在制造过程中改变键突起和配合凹槽的位置,数量和长度来改变键盘表面的修改/改编,允许制造各种配套的过滤器和保持器,使得只有匹配/匹配的过滤器和保持器可以连接在一起 。 键合的突起优选地位于过滤器的上端的上肩部或突出的凸缘上。 过滤器保持器内部的配合凹槽结构包括轴向凹槽,其允许将键突起部以及因此的过滤器轴向插入到保持器中,并且还包括容纳多个键突起以将过滤器保持在保持器中的周向凹部。 这样,多个键突起滑入并保持在单个周向凹槽/槽中,而不是每个键突起被容纳在其自己的独立的周向凹槽/槽中。
