Abstract: A filter body of an air filter, comprising a cylindrical filter member with an end disk on at least one axial end. This end disk comprises a radially effective seal which is arranged radially in relation to the arrangement on a sealing surface when the filter body is mounted in a filter housing. This end disk also comprises a supporting section which extends, relative to the filter member, in a ring shaped manner on the axially outer side of the end disk. This supporting section is designed to be axially elastic. When the filter body is mounted in a filter housing, this supporting section is supported by a support contour formed on the filter housing and extending parallel to the end disk. In this case, the filter body can be axially positioned in the filter housing.

Abstract: The invention relates to a filter, especially an oil filter, comprising a carrier casing which borders a clean room/chamber. The filter also has a filter element which encloses the carrier casing. The filter element is comprised of zigzag shaped folded strip material, whereby the end folds of the filter element are adjacently held together. In order to construct the filter in such a way that a mass-production with a high operational reliability is guaranteed, a clamping strip which fastens the end folds of the filter element is arranged on the exterior surface of the carrier casing.
