Patent number: 11865488Abstract: Filter media having a design embossed into the media are described. In some arrangements, the filter media is pleated filter media. In other arrangements, the filter media includes a plurality of channels, such as tetrahedron channels. The filter media includes a pattern of interrupted straight or angled embossments that help maintain separation between adjacent layers of the filter media. The embossments allow for two adjacent media layers (e.g., mating surfaces of the filter media) to remain separated, thereby increasing dust holding capacity and lowering pressure drop ever similarly configured filter media not having the embossments.Type: GrantFiled: July 11, 2022Date of Patent: January 9, 2024Assignee: Cummins Filtration IP, Inc.Inventors: Emmanuel Page, Anthony Barreteau, Kurt M. A. Badeau, Christopher E. Holm

The filter media includes a pattern of interrupted straight or angled embossments that help maintain separation between adjacent layers of the filter media. The embossments allow for two adjacent media layers (e.g., mating surfaces of the filter media) to remain separated, thereby increasing dust holding capacity and lowering pressure drop over similarly configured filter media not having the embossments.Type: GrantFiled: October 16, 2017Date of Patent: September 13, 2022Assignee: CUMMINS FILTRATION IP, INC.Inventors: Emmanuel Page, Anthony Barreteau, Kurt M.

Patent number: 10786767Abstract: A filter apparatus is described that has a torque limiting device, which may be a clutch mechanism, and which provides a protective function for a filter, so as to protect a filter from being over tightened and to thereby prevent damage to filter components. The clutch mechanism can also eliminate or reduce the need for torque measurement of certain filter components. The clutch mechanism can be located on one of the fluid filter, a filter head which engages the fluid filter, or a combination of both the fluid filter and the filter head.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2016Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: CUMMINS FILTRATION IP, INC.Inventors: Kurt M. A. Badeau, Travis E. Goodlund, Bryan J. Benz, Bryan P. Steffen, Ismail C. Bagci, Aaron M. Wells, Rahul B. Kallurwar, James L. Eickhoff, Chirag D. Parikh, Gregory W. Hoverson, Kevin C. South, Scott G.

Patent number: 10232301Abstract: A pleated filter media comprises a plurality of pleats comprised of pleat segments extending in an axial direction between first and second axial ends and extending in a transverse direction that is perpendicular to the axial direction between first and second sets of pleat tips at least partially defined by first and second sets of bend lines. Axial flow channels are defined between the pleat segments in the lateral direction and the plurality of pleats has a width in the transverse direction that varies along the axial direction.Type: GrantFiled: November 21, 2016Date of Patent: March 19, 2019Assignee: CUMMINS FILTRATION IP INC.Inventors: Mark V.
