  • Patent number: 9669341
    Abstract: A filter element has a filter body of at least one layer of a flat web-shaped filter medium, separating a raw side from a clean side of the filter element. A hot melt system is provided and the filter body is glued together by the hot melt system. The hot melt system has a hot melt mixture that is made up of 15-85% by weight of a first hot melt that is polyester-based and 15-85% by weight of a second hot melt that is polyamide-based. The first hot melt and the second hot melt together amount to 100% by weight of the hot melt mixture. The hot melt mixture constitutes a proportion of more than 75% by weight of the hot melt system. The remainder of the hot melt system is made up of fillers, pigments, tackiness-imparting resins, and hot melts based on a polycondensate.

  • Patent number: 9656194
    Abstract: A filter has a filter cup, a filter element arranged in the filter cup, and a filter head. Filter cup and filter head are connected by a releasable bayonet-type connection with interacting locking parts connected to filter cup and filter head. A locking nose on the first locking part and a recess on the second locking part interact. The recess has an insertion/removal region for joining and separating locking nose and recess and also a locking region for hooking the locking nose. A spring between filter cup and filter head generates pretension on the locking nose in the recess. The recess has a locking shoulder with a shoulder tip between locking region and insertion/removal region. The locking nose has a locking tip. When locking tip and shoulder tip contact each other, the locking nose is forced by the spring into the locking region or into the insertion/removal region.
