Patent number: 7591490Abstract: A coupling device provides a quick-release coupling of hose-like or tubular pipes to a connecting part at an outlet for a pressurized fluid. The connecting part has a locating face against which the end face of a flange positioned at the end of the pipe can be pressed by means of clamping screws. A sealing element is held between the flange and locating face. The clamping screws are anchored in the connecting part. The locating face of the connecting part is embodied by the base of a recess surrounding the outlet. The flange, at the end of the pipe, is housed in the recess such that the edge of the recess secures the flange against radial displacement. The clamping screws directly cooperate with the face of the flange opposite the end face.Type: GrantFiled: December 22, 1999Date of Patent: September 22, 2009Assignee: Hydac Filtertechnik GmbHInventor: Werner Wilkendorf

Patent number: 7279091Abstract: A filter device has a filter housing (10) receiving a first filter element (12), through which a medium may flow in a given direction, and has a bypass device (22). Along with the first filter element (12), a second filter element (32) is provided. The filter elements are arranged in series, one behind the other, in the direction of flow. When the bypass device (22) is activated, the second filter element (32), immediately following in the direction of flow, filters the medium. The second filter element thus takes over the main filtration of the medium on actuation and operation of the bypass device, since the first filter element is essentially no longer available for a filtration process due to the bypass device.Type: GrantFiled: January 12, 2002Date of Patent: October 9, 2007Assignee: Hydac Filtertechnik GmbH.Inventors: Norbert Sann, Werner Wilkendorf

Patent number: 6733666Abstract: A filtering device, especially a suction return filter includes a filter housing having two useful connections and a tank connection, and accommodates at least one filter element. The filter housing also provided with three return valves, two of which are held in the closing position by spring loads. All of the return valves are combined as a module at one end of the filter housing. The remaining return valve is configured as an integral constituent part of one of the spring-loaded return valves, has an opposite opening direction relative to it, and is not spring loaded. This arrangement enables the return valve unit to have a compact arrangement which can be structurally easily connected to the filter housing at a central point.Type: GrantFiled: October 12, 2001Date of Patent: May 11, 2004Assignee: Hydac Filtertechnik GmbHInventors: Werner Wilkendorf, Holger Erich Wegmann
