  • Patent number: 8282821
    Abstract: An oil filter assembly (10) has a receiving chamber (18) that can be closed by a cover element (14) and a spring-loaded supporting tube (22) that is fixed in the receiving chamber and is designed to receive a filter element (20) that can be radially traversed by oil. The supporting tube (22) is axially displaceable between an operating position and a drain position in such a way that, in the operating position when the receiving chamber is closed by the cover element (14), the tube closes a drain opening (42). When the receiving chamber is open in the drain position, the tube releases the drain opening. The supporting tube is mounted to rotate through a rotational angle that is limited by two rotational stops (41, 43) in the housing and the cover element has follower sections (66, 68, 70) that co-operate with the supporting tube and/or filter element to rotate the supporting tube through the rotational angle when the cover element is screwed on and/or unscrewed.

The cover element (14) has a supporting tube contact area (58) on the side facing the receiving chamber in such a way that during the closing of the receiving chamber (14) when the filter element is located on the supporting tube (22), pressure is exerted on the tube by the support tube contact area (58), thus displacing the tube into the operating position.

  • Patent number: 7198061
    Abstract: Hydraulically or pneumatically controlled seat valve (2), in particular a pressure control valve, having a valve seat (10) formed in a base part (4) which cooperates with the sealing surface of a valve body (8) displaceably disposed in a cover part (6), wherein the base part (4) and the cover part (6) are connected to each other, the base part (4) having an at least sectionally circumferential collar (18) which faces radially outwardly for mounting the seat valve (2) to a further component (60), in particular to a housing, using a welded joint.
