  • Patent number: 10335723
    Abstract: A filter device has a filter element (17) that is exchangeably disposed in a filter housing (1). The filter element (17) is provided on one end with an end cap (23) that forms a surround for a rim of a filter material (31). The end cap (23) has a connector (43) attaching the filter element (17) in an operating position to an element seat (19; 45) inside the filter housing (1) such that a fluid-impermeable connection is formed between filter housing (1) and filter element (17). The connector (43) enables the positionally fixed mounting of the filter element (17) and the formation of a fluid-impermeable connection in conjunction with element seats (19; 45) of filter housings (1) of different designs.

  • Patent number: 10201769
    Abstract: A filter device has a filter element (3) in a filter housing (1). Corresponding threads (23, 33) form a screw connection between a housing cover (5) of the filter housing (1) and the filter element (3). A seal (29, 35) is between the filter element (3) and the housing cover (5). The screw connection is formed by threads (33) on a connecting pipe piece (31) that is part of an end cap (17) of the filter element (3) and that extends into the inner filter cavity (22) and by the threads (23) of the housing cover (5). The housing cover threads (23) are on a receiving pipe piece (21) formed by a separate component attached to the housing cover (5).

  • Patent number: 9643109
    Abstract: A filter device has a filter element (3) received in a filter housing (1) and has a holding device (19) for detachably fixing the filter element in the filter housing (1). Corresponding threads (23, 33) form a screw connection between a housing cover (5) of the filter housing (1) and the filter element (3). A sealing device (29, 35) imparts a sealing action between the filter element (3) and the housing cover (5). The screw connection is formed by threads (23, 33) situated in the interior (22) of the filter element (3). The thread (33) assigned to the filter element (3) is situated on a connecting pipe piece (31) that, as a constituent part of an end cap (17) of the filter element (3), extends into the inner filter cavity (22) of the filter element (3). The thread (23) assigned to the housing cover (5) is situated on a receiving pipe piece (21), which can be screwed to the connecting pipe piece (31) of the filter element (3).

  • Patent number: 9393508
    Abstract: A filter device has a filter housing (1, 3) releasably accommodating one filter element (15) and has a housing pot (1) surrounding the filter element (15) and a removably attachable housing head (3) with fluid passage (39) for the discharge of filtrate. A valve device in the fluid passage includes a closing body (53) blocking the discharge flow in its closed position and facilitates the discharge flow in its release position. A locking device includes a blocking member (57) locking the closing body (53) in its closed position. The blocking member (57) can move out of its locking position into its unlocking position by a control element (81) on the filter element (15). When the filter element (15) is situated in its functional position in the housing pot (1), the control element impacts the blocking member (57) as the housing head (3) is attached to the housing pot (1) to move the blocking member axially to its unblocking position.
