Abstract: An air filter assembly including abutting, cylindrical housing halves, with toothed outer ends, joined via spaced, T-shaped appendages; a cylindrical air inlet of abutting semi-cylindrical housing inlet portions; a primary filter pack, for slip-fit insertion into either housing half, having an end cap integral with a cylindrical primary filter pack having sealing material on its inner end; a filter outlet end with a toothed peripheral portion, for slip-fit insertion into and angular adjustment relative to either housing end, and a plurality of ribs defining locating surfaces for an air outlet portion, and main and safety filters; the latter having a truncated cone body and an inverted conical portion; and a filter attachment base having curved bed portions, for receiving a housing periphery portion, including spaced support pads and slot portions for angularly adjustably receiving like numbers of T-shaped appendages, with a locking mechanism joining the housing and attachment base.

Abstract: A filter assembly is formed of an impervious elongated tubular housing and an elongated filter member positioned within the housing with its opposed longitudinal edges sealed to the housing internal tubular surface. A first barrier is interposed between the filter member first surface and the housing internal tubular surface adjacent the housing inlet end and a second barrier is interposed between the filter member second surface and the housing internal tubular surface adjacent the housing outlet end. Air flowing into the housing inlet end passes through the filter member before exiting at the outlet end.

Abstract: A filter assembly is formed of an impervious elongated tubular housing and an elongated filter member positioned within the housing. In a first embodiment a barrier is interposed between a filter member first surface and the housing internal tubular surface adjacent the housing inlet end and another barrier is interposed between the filter member second surface and the housing internal tubular surface adjacent the housing outlet end. In a second embodiment, the filter member is formed of a pleated sheet, the pleats being folded at their ends, and the pleated sheet is formed into a frusto-conical shape with the conical base secured to the tubular housing interior surface. Air flowing into the housing inlet end passes through the filter member before exiting at the outlet end.

Abstract: An air filter device. The device includes a flat, closed top and an axially aligned open base larger in diameter than the top. Frusto conical filter media extends between the top and the base, the filter media having an axis aligned with the top and the base. An axially aligned, inverted cone extends from the flat, closed top toward the base.

Abstract: The present invention is a clip for securing the nipple of a fuel filter within a fuel line connector assembly housing provided on a fuel line in order to secure the fuel filter to the fuel line. The clip is provided with a horizontally oriented connecting segment having two ends. Each end of the connecting segment is provided with a leg that extends downward therefrom. The legs are spaced apart from each other so as to be insertable through openings provided in the connector assembly housing. Each of the legs is provided with a flipper, with the flipper of one leg being offset from the flipper of the other leg with respect to a horizontal center line of the nipple when the nipple is installed in the connector assembly housing. The flippers are oriented toward the opposing legs so that as the nipple is inserted into the connector assembly housing, the nipple is forced between the flippers and the legs, causing the legs to rotate and squeeze the nipple.

Abstract: A dampener roller cartridge for mounting on a cylindrical support comprising a core tube having a central bore to receive the cylindrical support, the core tube being characterized by having an annular wall thickness of at least one-third the radius of the tube, and a coherent network structure providing a density of less than 0.5, the plastic substance and the network structure providing the tube with sufficient resilience to be resiliently deformed by a radially applied force by a mating roller and to recover its original shape after the cessation of the radially applied force, and further providing the core tube with sufficient rigidity to permit tight slidable mounting of the core tube on the cylindrical support, and a moisture-absorbent, outer sleeve secured about the circumference of the core tube.
