  • Patent number: 10695701
    Abstract: A fuel filter has a housing having an intake and an outlet. A filter element is arranged in the housing such that a filtered area is separated seal-tightly from an unfiltered area. A flow passage is provided between the unfiltered area and the filtered area. A porous filter member closes off the flow passage, wherein the porous filter member is arranged seal-tightly on a wall arranged about the flow passage. The filter element has a filter medium and a geodetically upper and a geodetically lower terminal disks arranged at end faces of the filter medium. The filter medium is connected seal-tightly to the terminal disks. The flow passage is arranged in the geodetically upper terminal disk that forms the wall.

  • Patent number: 8398735
    Abstract: A filter element includes support grid secured about its periphery edges to a periphery frame member. A pleated filter media is secured to the frame member and is sized and positioned to fully cover the filter fluid aperture. The support grid is positioned such that it is effective in providing support to the filter media against fluid forces. At least one elongated comb member is provided and includes a plurality of spaced tapered teeth protruding outwards towards the filter media. The teeth are sized and spaced to be received into at least a portion of grooves present between the pleats of the filter media. The teeth of the comb member are sized and spaced to regulate filter media pleat separation and spacing.

  • Patent number: 7862639
    Abstract: An intake filter for an internal combustion engine for a motor vehicle including an unfiltered air intake region, a filter medium and a filtered air conduit, in which the unfiltered air intake region is arranged beneath the engine hood of the motor vehicle and is attached to the engine hood. The filter medium is tubular body which has a porosity that ensures a sufficient filtration of the intake air for the internal combustion engine.
