Publication number: 20220241704Abstract: A no filter no run (NFNR) fluid filter and fluid filter assembly are provided. The NFNR fluid filter assembly includes a fluid filter, a filter head or filter housing, and a bypass flow path. The bypass flow path may be sealed off when a compliant filter is installed. When a non-compliant filter is installed (a filter without a bypass seal), fluid may flow to the bypass flow path.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 14, 2022Publication date: August 4, 2022Applicant: Cummins Filtration IP, Inc.Inventors: Zemin Jiang, Gregory W. Hoverson, W. Beale Delano, JR., Dennis M. DeCapua, Bharadwaj R. Prabhala, Rahul R. Pandey, Mayur Hogade, Bhargava S. Atmuri

Patent number: 10786767Abstract: A filter apparatus is described that has a torque limiting device, which may be a clutch mechanism, and which provides a protective function for a filter, so as to protect a filter from being over tightened and to thereby prevent damage to filter components. The clutch mechanism can also eliminate or reduce the need for torque measurement of certain filter components. The clutch mechanism can be located on one of the fluid filter, a filter head which engages the fluid filter, or a combination of both the fluid filter and the filter head.Type: GrantFiled: March 11, 2016Date of Patent: September 29, 2020Assignee: CUMMINS FILTRATION IP, INC.Inventors: Kurt M.
