Patent number: 11938438Abstract: In accordance with certain techniques for filtering contaminated air, the air is sucked through at least one filter element, which is exchangeably held in a filter-holding device of an air duct system. In order to enable continuous filtering without process interruption, a plurality of filter elements is stored in the filter-holding device in such a way that, when one of the filter elements is removed, the soiled filter element is automatically replaced in the air duct system. For this purpose, the filter-holding device has a plurality of filter chambers, which are arranged relative to one another in such a way that, in the event of an exchange, the filter element can be slidingly guided from one of the filter chambers into another filter chamber.Type: GrantFiled: October 8, 2019Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignee: Oerlikon Textile GmbH & Co. KGInventors: Stephan Rickerts, Ernst Claussen, Hauke Petersen, Frank Knödler, Sonja Dittscher
