Abstract: A combined filter housing for storing a plurality of filters therein and a combination cover and extractor for the stored filters includes a unitary extractor mechanism with cooperating arms removably disposed within a cover extending above and below the cover into the housing where semi-adhesive resilient members disposed on a pair of distal ends comes into contact with the stored filters. By applying pressure proximate the apex of the arms the filter is engaged by the semi-adhesive resilient member and by removing the combination cover and extractor a single filter may be removed.

Abstract: A combined filter housing for storing a plurality of flattened conically-shaped filters therein and a combination cover and extractor for the stored filters includes an extractor mechanism disposed within the cover having semi-adhesive resilient members disposed on a pair of distal ends which comes into contact with the stored filters. By applying pressure proximate the apex of the arms, the filter is engaged by the semi-adhesive resilient member and by removing the combination cover and extractor a single filter may be removed and is ready to be used without further handling.

Abstract: A completely enclosed filter housing capable of storing a plurality of filters therein and a combination cover and an extractor for the stored filters includes a housing and a form fitted cover to seal the housing. An extractor mechanism utilizing cooperating arms is affixed within the cover opening and extends above and below the cover into the housing where semi-adhesive resilient members disposed on one pair of distal ends comes in contact with the stored filters which are urged upwardly by a second resilient member. By applying pressure to the upwardly extending arms the filter is engaged by the semi-adhesive resilient member, and by removing the housing cover a single filter is removed.
