Abstract:
Filter for internal combustion engine liquids, comprising a casing (2) closed by a removable cover (4) and containing a toroidal filter cartridge (3) which separates the casing cavity into two chambers (21, 22) for passage of the liquid to be filtered and passage of the filtered liquid respectively, in which the inner region of the cover is connected to the facing end of the cartridge by a snap connection system comprising two complementary parts (10, 111) which are associated with the cover and with the cartridge respectively, and can be connected together by axially sliding said cartridge and released from each other by rotating this latter through a predetermined angle, that part of the system associated with the cartridge being located within the central compartment of this latter, and that part of the system associated with the cover being dimensioned and shaped to be able to be inserted into the preceding and coupled thereto, where it retains the facing end of the cartridge in the immediate vicinity of the inner region of the cover.
Abstract:
An oil filter includes a base, a cap mounted to the base to be detachable and forming a filter case in association with the base, a cylindrical filter element accommodated inside the filter case, and an inner cylinder disposed inside the filter element and attached to the cap. The cap has a head portion to which an engaging member is formed so as to extend inside the filter case, an axial one end of the inner cylinder is fitted to an outside of the engaging member to be detachable. The inner cylinder is provided with a stopper projecting in a radially outward direction thereof and having a tip end abutting against an inside surface of the filter case to thereby prevent the inner cylinder from falling down, and the stopper is disposed between the head portion of the cap and the filter element.
Abstract:
A filter assembly for fluid filtration having a push-activated lock and release mechanism. The filter housing has a sump for enclosing the filter media, a filter head, and at least one standoff protruding outwards for use in securing the filter head to a filter manifold. The filter manifold supports the filter housing with a filter locator. A filter guide having a rotator actuating mechanism secures and holds the filter head in place when the filter head is axially inserted. The rotator actuating mechanism has tabs and slots that rotate upon a transverse axial force from the standoff and from tabs on an internal shutoff. The internal shutoff has an inlet extension and an outlet extension with apertures for fluid ingress and egress. The internal shutoff tabs slidably contact and align the rotator actuating mechanism to secure and remove the filter head.
Abstract:
The invention relates to an oil/coolant module for a combustion engine, with an oil filter, an oil/water heat exchanger and a coolant pump called a water pump, whereby a coolant treatment system is provided that has a so-called water filter and which contains treatment additives that automatically enter the coolant circuit during assembly and/or during service of the coolant treatment system.
Abstract:
The invention relates to a filtering apparatus comprising a pot-type filter housing (10), a filter element (28) that is accommodated therein, a holding mechanism (38) which is disposed in the filter housing (10) in order to removably fix the filter element along the longitudinal axis thereof, and a sealing device (60) that seals between a lid (20) of the filter housing (10) and the filter element (28). The holding mechanism (38) is provided with cooperating holding elements which are embodied on the interior face of the filter housing (10) as well as on the filter element (28). The inventive filtering apparatus dispenses with the need for O-seals that are known in prior art and extend in a radial direction between the filter element and the filter head as a housing lid because the sealing device (60) encompasses at least one sealing edge (62) or sealing surface which is placed parallel to the longitudinal axis in a radial direction and seals under the effect of the pressure applied thereto by the holding mechanism (38). The invention further relates to a filter element that is to be used in such a filtering apparatus.
Abstract:
A top load service cartridge including filter media and a treatment agent storage and release cartridge is provided. The cartridge is configured for diffusion of the treatment agent from the treatment agent storage and release cartridge, into liquid flowing through the filter arrangement. Methods of assembly and descriptions of use are provided.
Abstract:
An improved fluid filter arrangement having an improved fluid bypass is provided. The fluid filter arrangement includes a ring of filter media extending between first and second ends sealingly bonded to first and second end caps, respectively. The filter media defines an interior. Each end cap includes an opening in fluid communication with the interior. A grommet comprising at least in part a sealing material that is different than the material for the second end cap is received by the opening in the second end cap. The grommet is sealed against the second end cap. Furthermore, the grommet includes an annular-flange which includes an annular valve seat and a fluid bypass opening.
Abstract:
A separation module is provided having a housing, a filter within the housing and at least one outlet and one inlet. The outlet and inlet are positioned to mate with fittings of a pump housing. A stationary receptor positioned between the pump housing and the separation module has a pivot line and two shelves on its outer surface which permit fitting the separation module in a stationary receptor adjacent the pump housing.
Abstract:
A replaceable filter element for use with a filter assembly having a housing with a cover and a support core therein. The filter element has a ring of filtration media and an end cap at each end sealingly bonded to the filtration media. The second end cap has a central opening along the central axis of the filter element for receiving the support core. The first end cap also has a central opening along the central axis of the filter element. The central opening of the first end cap has a smaller diameter than the central opening of the second end cap. The central opening of first end cap is bounded by an annular flange integral with the first end cap and projecting axially inward a short distance from the first end cap toward the second end cap and terminating at a point closer to the first end cap than the second end cap. The annular flange is spaced radially inward from the ring of filtration media. A protrusion is located radially between the annular flange and the ring of filtration media, The protrusion is affixed to said first end cap and projects axially inward from the first end cap a short distance toward the second end cap, and remaining with the filter element when the filter element is removed from the housing. The first end cap includes a second annular flange radially outward from the protrusion for engaging with the support core. The second annular flange includes tapered gussets for properly orienting the end cap and the protrusion thereon for reliable interaction with the extension and locking mechanism in the support core when the filter element is assembled in the housing.
Abstract:
A filter cartridge (20) having an upper disc (22) joined to an upper end of a tubular filter medium (21) is positioned within a casing (11) having an upper closure cover (12). First coupling elements (31) joined to the cover (12) and second coupling elements (41) joined to the upper disc (22) project axially towards each another to achieve mutual snap-coupling. The first coupling elements (31) include axially-extending coupling teeth elastic in a radial direction, and the second coupling elements (41) include a cylindrical surface divided into identical sectors equal to the number of teeth (31), each sector includes a coupling region (43) for snap-engaging the coupling teeth (31) axially, and a disengagement region (44), positioned to the side of the coupling region (43), for releasing the coupling teeth (31) from their engagement with the coupling region (43) by rotating the cartridge (20) through a small angle relative to the upper cover (12).
