  • Publication number: 20180056225
    Abstract: In a method for producing two or more filter bellows, a bellows with a filter medium with fold edges is provided, wherein the filter medium is running in a running direction. A cutting path is carried out in the bellows with the filter medium in a direction that, at least in some regions, is transverse relative to the fold edges such that the filter bellows are produced in parallel and the cutting path creates end edge faces and/or side faces of the filter bellows and the filter bellows are embodied lying adjacent to each other and symmetrical or point-symmetrical relative to each other in the running direction and/or transverse to the running direction. A filter element with such a filter bellows and a filter system with such a filter element and filter bellows arranged in a filter housing are provided.

  • Patent number: 9689356
    Abstract: A filter device with filter housing and housing cover has a filter element disposed therein. A first holding part on the filter element projects past an outer wall surface of the filter element. A second holding part in the form of a counter holding part on the housing cover interacts with the first holding part. The first and second holding parts engage each other in a mounted state of the filter element. A first form-fit part is arranged on the filter element axially spaced from the first holding part and is associated with a second form-fit part in the form of a counter form-fit part. The first form-fit part and the first holding part, by rotational movement of the filter element about a longitudinal axis of the filter element, are each transferable into a form-fit engaged state with the counter holding part and the counter form-fit part, respectively.

  • Patent number: 9623357
    Abstract: The invention relates to a tank vent filter (70) that guides tank contents that have inadvertently reached the tank vent filter (70) through a downpipe (80) past a first filter (78) of the tank vent filter (70). A contamination of the first filter (78) is thus prevented by means of a space-saving arrangement. The downpipe (80) and the first filter (78) are preferably arranged rotationally symmetrically around the longitudinal axis of the tank vent filter (70) in order to achieve an especially compact design of the tank vent filter (70).

  • Patent number: 9586168
    Abstract: A flat filter element has a filter medium and a sealing section that seals the flat filter element relative to a filter housing. A support element section is arranged on a circumferential side of the filter medium outside of the sealing section and supports the flat filter element relative to an inner side of the filter housing, wherein the support element section projects past the filter element in at least one direction. The filter housing has a mounting opening through which the flat filter element is inserted into the interior where the flat filter element is arranged such that the inlet is separated from the outlet of the filter housing. A projection arranged on an inner side of the filter housing supports under mechanical tension the support element section of the flat filter element in a mounting position of the flat filter element in the interior.

  • Patent number: 9586167
    Abstract: A flat filter element to be mounted in a filter housing has an inflow surface and an outflow surface downstream of the inflow surface in a flow-through direction. A filter medium extend between the inflow surface and the outflow surface. A sealing section extends circumferentially relative to the flow-through direction. A seal fastened to or interacting with the sealing section is provided, wherein the seal, when the flat filter element is mounted in a filter housing, separates an inlet of the filter housing for air to be purified from an outlet of the filter housing for purified air. A first functional element section is arranged on at least one circumferential side of the filter medium so as to be spaced apart from the circumferentially extending sealing section. The first functional element section is attached to a lateral strip and the lateral strip is attached to the filter medium.

  • Patent number: 9586165
    Abstract: An air filter has a filter housing and a filter element inserted in the interior of the filter housing. The filter element has an inflow surface and an outflow surface and a filter medium that extends between inflow and outflow surfaces. The filter element has a circumferentially extending seal arranged in the area of the inflow surface or outflow surface and interacting in the mounting position with the sealing surface of the filter housing to separate inlet and outlet of the air filter. A support device clamps the filter element transversely to the insertion direction in the filter housing by a transverse clamping action in a support area that is spaced from the seal. The transverse clamping action results by an insertion movement of the filter element into the filter housing by interaction of the filter element with inner sides of the filter housing.
