  • Patent number: 9993756
    Abstract: The invention relates to a filter (10) having at least a first bayonet joint (22). The first bayonet joint (22) has a first bayonet slotted guide (26) with two locking positions that are axially spaced apart from one another for a first bayonet projection (24) of the first bayonet joint (22). By rotating a filter part for releasing the first bayonet joint (22), the first bayonet projection (24) may be moved from the second locking position into the first locking position. The filter (10) preferably has a second bayonet joint (28). The second bayonet joint (28) is preferably embodied such that, by further rotation in the same direction of rotation, it is released in that a second bayonet projection (30) is moved out of a third locking position of a second bayonet slotted guide (32) of the second bayonet joint (28) after the first bayonet projection (24) has been stopped in the first locking position.

  • Patent number: 9987571
    Abstract: A filter insert piece has a filter element with first and second pleated sections each having parallel pleats. The first and second pleated sections each have an inflow side. A first flat outflow side of the first pleated section and a second flat outflow side of the second pleated section adjoin a common clean chamber of the filter element. A length of the pleats of the first and second pleated sections is such that a spacing of an outwardly positioned pleat end face of the pleats at the first or second inflow side, respectively, relative to the center axis increases or decreases monotonic from pleat to pleat. The respective end pleats of the first and of the second pleated sections have a different length extension measured from the outwardly positioned pleat end face of the first end pleats or the second end pleats relative to the center axis.

  • Patent number: 9935390
    Abstract: A connector assembly is disclosed for making a connection between a tubular adapter component and a port connector which, once connected to each other, are not able to be disassembled. At least one of the tubular adapter component or the port component may have at least one cutout section and the other may have a projecting tab. A tubular sleeve is positioned on the port component and is non-rotatable and non-removable from the port component. The tubular sleeve has at least one flexible cam locking post.

  • Patent number: 9919256
    Abstract: A filter element has a zigzag-folded filter medium. Filter medium sections joined by a fold edge define an intermediate fold space, respectively, with a fold base and fold peaks opposite the fold base. An elongate support section is arranged in the intermediate fold space on a filter medium surface of one of the filter medium sections. The support section extends perpendicular to the fold edges between fold base and fold peak. The support section has a height extension perpendicular to the filter medium surface that increases in longitudinal direction of the support section from fold base to fold peak. The support section has a free side facing away from the filter medium surface. The support section has a width extension parallel to the fold edges. The width extension decreases parallel to the filter medium surface and perpendicular to the longitudinal direction from fold peak to fold base.
