Abstract: A suspended filter device may include a ring filter element arranged in a receiving space. A cover may be securable to a housing from beneath for closing the receiving space. A drainage element may be arranged at the bottom of the cover in an installed state, and a pin may be disposed on the filter element and be configured to close the drainage element. A dome may engage into an interior of the filter element from below when the cover is installed. A guide contour may be disposed on a free end of the dome and interact with a guide element disposed on the filter element. A spring may be supported on the cover and on the dome, and may be configured to prestress the ring filter element in an upward direction into the housing via the dome.

Abstract: The invention relates to a liquid filter, having a filter housing, which contains a receiving space for a ring filter element. The liquid filter further has a no-load duct, which is opened when the ring filter element is taken out. A pin is formed on a lower end disc of the ring filter element, the pin projects parallel to the longitudinal axis. A ramp is formed on the bottom of the receiving space. The ramp is matched to the pin in such a manner that, when the ring filter element is inserted into the filter housing, the pin slides downwards on the ramp and penetrates the opening of the no-load duct. A structure is in the receiving space, the structure allows functional insertion of the ring filter element if the ring filter element slides with its pin along the ramp until the pin penetrates the opening of the no-load duct.
