Patent number: 10596510Abstract: A filter element is provided with a filter medium body that is a folded filter of filter paper. The filter medium body has an inflow side and an outflow side. A sealing element is arranged on the filter medium body. At an end edge face, the filter medium body has an adhesive bead filling at least partially intermediate fold spaces at end edges of the folds. The filter medium body has a lateral band adhesively connected to and covering the end edge face positioned at an angle relative to the inflow and outflow sides. The lateral band is connected to end edges of the folds at the end edge face and extends all the way to the inflow and outflow sides. The lateral band has at least one leg resting on the inflow side or the outflow side adjacent to a rim area of the filter medium body.Type: GrantFiled: December 19, 2017Date of Patent: March 24, 2020Assignee: MANN+HUMMEL GmbHInventors: Andreas Kloss, Martin Bottke, Kai Hilarius, Oliver Steins, Stefan Diersch, Dieter Weiss, Christoph Goldbrunner

Patent number: 9108132Abstract: A filter insert has a filter element with an end surface at an inlet side and an end surface at an outlet side that are spaced from one another in a main flow direction of the filter insert. A frame circumferentially extends about lateral sides of the filter element. An axial seal is supported on the frame and has a sealing direction in or opposite to the main flow direction. When inserted into a filter housing and contacting a sealing surface of the filter housing, the seal separates seal-tightly the inlet and outlet. The frame has on two opposite lateral sides of the filter element contact surfaces for clamping the filter insert by matching clamping elements. The contact surfaces are oriented opposite to the sealing direction and each have an individual profile of varying height extending along the two opposite lateral sides.Type: GrantFiled: April 12, 2012Date of Patent: August 18, 2015Assignee: MANN+HUMMEL GMBHInventors: Joerg Menssen, Stefan Becker, Kai Hilarius, Oliver Steins

Patent number: 9095806Abstract: A filter housing (10) having a raw-side inlet (12) and a clean-side outlet (14) for media to be filtered and a forward-mounted part designed as a cyclone pre-separator (20) including at least one fastening region (32) of a first part (30) made substantially of plastic is fastened to the raw side, and a second part (40) braced between the first part (30) and the filter housing (10). The fastening region (32) of the first part (30) is screwed to the filter housing (10) using metal fastening elements (50, 54, 56, 60), and—at the upper side facing away from the filter housing (10) it has at least one pressing contour (70) for compensating for at least one dimension tolerance of the elements fastened together. The contour is substantially plastic material, which can be deformed by means of applying a force generated by the screwing together of the metal fastening elements (50, 52, 56, 60), in particular which can be melted.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2010Date of Patent: August 4, 2015Assignee: MANN+HUMMEL GMBHInventors: Jörg Menβen, Stefan Becker, Kai Hilarius, Oliver Steins
