Abstract:
This invention pertains to a fluid filter apparatus and more particularly to an improved fluid filter apparatus in which a plurality of disc-like filter elements or pads is preferably mounted on a perforated tubing, although, it can work without the tubing. Each filter element is a disc-like member having a hole cut in the center and is made of a filtering type material such as fiberglass, paper or felt. Each element is cut in a pattern such as a square, triangle or hexagon whose sides are straight or curvilinear which can be cut without waste. Adjacent stacked disc filter elements are orientated such that the configuration of two adjacent filter elements does not coincide. For example, in regard to a square type configuration filter element, adjacent elements are preferably rotated 45.degree. with respect to each other from their aligned position.
