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.
