Abstract: The pocket filter exhibits an outer frame made of plastics material and several adjacent filter elements arranged in the outer frame. The outer frame is composed of opposing limb profiles, a base profile and a closing profile which each have an essentially U-shaped cross section with an inwardly opened interior space. The profiles can be joined to one another at the corners of the outer frame by corner connectors. An inner frame made of plastics material is arranged inside a free border of each filter pocket. Each inner frame has opposing longitudinal profiles and facing profiles fastened thereon. Each longitudinal profile has holes spaced from one another and projecting parts which extend outward and which cooperate in the open outer frame when the filter elements are pushed in. Transverse walls fastened on the accompanying longitudinal profile extend into an inlet of the inner frame.
