  • Patent number: 10071332
    Abstract: A filter insert is useful for the separation of liquid droplets from a gas flow, particularly a gas flow from an internal combustion engine. The filter insert includes a media packet with layered portions of filter media. The media packet includes at least one layer of filter media with capillary effect to close the media packet to gas passage.

  • Patent number: 9540975
    Abstract: An oil mist separator includes at least one filter device for separating off liquid suspended particles from a carrier gas. The filter device includes a housing having at least one inlet opening for introducing the carrier gas and at least one outlet opening for discharging the filtered carrier gas. Arranged in the housing is at least one filter insert through which the carrier gas can flow along a flow direction. There is also provided at least one guide device by which the flow path can be deflected. The at least one filter device can be arranged releasably in the oil mist separator, and a seal is provided preferably between a first fixing surface of the oil mist separator and a second fixing surface, to be fixed thereto, of the filter device.

  • Patent number: 6579044
    Abstract: The invention pertains to a metal-cutting tool with at least one recess (2) for receiving a cutting insert (3). The cutting insert (3) is securely clamped in the recess (2) by an elastic clamping arm (8), which forms the upper contact surface (14) of the recess (2). According to the invention, the lower contact surface (4) of the cutting insert (3) and the lower contact surface (9) of the recess (2) are at least partially configured in an arc. The radius (r) of the arc of the contact surface (9) is designed slightly smaller than the arc (R) of the contact surface (4). The upper contact surface (5) of the cutting insert (3) and the contact surface (14) of the clamping arm (8) are matched in such a way that mutual contact takes place in a range which is at a distance from the symmetry line (S) in the direction of the cutting edge (11) of the cutting insert (3).
