Abstract: A filter assembly and cage and/or capsule apparatus including upstream and downstream and optional intermediary supports having modified features to maximize fluid flow through the filter assembly. The cage apparatus has a plurality of posts with stacked ridges that function as cap engaging teeth. A cage end cap is formed with a plurality of slots corresponding in configuration and position to the plurality of posts. The combination of slots and ridges interact to create a locking mechanism to adjustably secure the end cap to the cage and to generate the necessary compression to seal the enclosed filter discs and supports. The upstream supports are formed with channels in an outer ring and optional channels in radially extending ribs to improve fluid ingress and transfer to the filter discs. The downstream supports are formed with channels or tunnels in an inner ring to facilitate filtrate egress into a filter assembly outlet.

Abstract translation: 包括上游和下游的过滤器组件和保持架和/或胶囊装置以及具有改进特征的任选的中间支撑件，以使通过过滤器组件的流体流动最大化。 笼式装置具有多个具有作为盖接合齿的堆叠脊的柱。 笼形端盖形成有多个槽，其配置和位置对应于多个柱。 槽和脊的组合相互作用以产生锁定机构，以可调节地将端盖固定到保持架，并产生必要的压缩以密封封闭的过滤盘和支撑件。 上游支撑件在外圈中形成有通道，并且在径向延伸的肋中形成可选的通道，以改善流体进入并转移到过滤盘。 下游支撑件在内圈中形成有通道或隧道，以促进滤液流入过滤器组件出口。
