Abstract: In a fluid filter having a filter medium comprising upper and lower layers defining therebetween a fluid receiving space into which the fluid to be filtered is introduced, a spacer is positioned between those layers in order positively to hold them apart, thereby significantly to increase the filtering capacity of the filter unit.
Abstract: In a fluid filter having a filtering medium comprising upper and lower layers defining therebetween a fluid receiving space into which the fluid to be filtered is introduced, and in which the filter supporting structure comprises a part which extends through both of the layers of the filtering medium, a spacer surrounds that part and retains the filter medium layers spaced from one another thereat, thereby significantly to increase the filtering capacity of the filter unit.
