Patent number: 10974188Abstract: Filters and filter assemblies including one or more shield elements to protect the filter media of the filters during installation of the filters into a filter housing of the filter assembly are provided. A filter includes first and second media packs, a housing seal system, a handle and a shield element. Filter media packs extend from a first end to a second end in a diverging manner. The first end has a length dimension and a width dimension that extend transversely. A shield element projects over the first and second media packs at the first end a span in the width direction of at least 40% of the width dimension defined by the first and second media packs and projecting a span in the length direction of at least 5% of the length dimension defined by the first end.Type: GrantFiled: June 20, 2019Date of Patent: April 13, 2021Assignee: Baldwin Filters, Inc.Inventors: Levi William Dexter, Benny Mathew Varghese

Patent number: 10870074Abstract: A filter element and multi-component holding assembly for a filter element is provided. The filter element includes first and second media panels, a support frame, a base frame and first and second end cap structures. Each filter media panel defines first, second, third and fourth sides. The first and second sides extend between the third and fourth sides. The support frame maintains the first and second filter media panels in a spaced orientation forming a cavity therebetween. The base frame defines a first opening in fluid communication with the cavity. The first end cap structure seals the third side of the first and second filter media panels and the second end cap structure seals the fourth side of the first and second filter media panels. The base frame has a first portion captured in the first end cap structure and a second portion captured in the second end cap structure.Type: GrantFiled: July 15, 2016Date of Patent: December 22, 2020Assignee: Baldwin Filters, Inc.Inventors: Benny Mathew Varghese, Levi William Dexter
