Abstract: This filter element (1) comprises a filter medium (3) configured with an annular shape, having a central axis (X1) and forming inside a central channel (4) extending substantially axially, a first and a second end plates (5, 6), each plate covering one axial end of the filter medium (3) and being sealingly mounted on said axial end, the first end plate (5) having a central opening (7) substantially coaxial with the central axis (X1) and in fluid communication with the channel (4), and a central perforated rigid tube (9) that extends axially between the first and second end plates (5, 6) and having an inner perforated wall delimiting the central channel (4). The filter element (1) is designed to be placed in a filter housing (14) for forming a liquid filtering device (10), whereby a liquid to be filtered can flow along a liquid path through the filter medium (3) towards the channel (4) and out of the filter element (1) through the central opening (7).

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of realizing an optical function on a component of a motor vehicle indicating or lighting device. This method is more particularly suited to producing a mask for a headlamp or light and/or to treating reflective surfaces. The method comprises a step of forming said component in a predetermined material and a step of exposing at least one surface of said component to laser radiation.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method of making a decorative motif on a component of a lighting or indicating apparatus for a motor vehicle. The method is adapted more particularly to making the mask for a headlight or indicator light. The method includes a step of forming the said component in a predetermined material, and a step of exposing at least one surface of the said component to laser radiation.
