  • Publication number: 20150075128
    Abstract: An air filter device for a motor vehicle features a filter element accommodated in a filter housing which is at least sectionwise enclosed by a surrounding frame part which is glued to the filter element. Between the frame part and the filter element is disposed a sealing lip which defines an adhesive receiving space between frame part and filter element.

  • Publication number: 20150013294
    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.

  • Publication number: 20150007537
    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.

  • Publication number: 20150007536
    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: 8409312
    Abstract: The invention relates to a filter unit for filtering gaseous fluids, comprising a filter insert part with a filter medium and a sealing element, said element being clamped between sealing struts on parts of the filter housing. The clamping force produced by the sealing struts that lie opposite one another runs at least approximately perpendicularly to the mounting direction of the housing parts.

  • Publication number: 20120266578
    Abstract: A filter element for filtering fluids has a support tube having a circumferential wall provided with passages for a fluid. A hollow elongate filter medium is arranged axially on the support tube. The passages are adapted in regard to size; distribution; or size and distribution to a fluidic configuration of the filter element such that non-uniform fluid flows that exist in operation of the filter element upstream of the support tube are compensated. The filter element is used in particular in air filters for internal combustion engines.

  • Patent number: 6953124
    Abstract: A filter element for end face inlet formed of triangular channels which are alternately closed such that the fluid to be filtered must pass through the filter material in order to flow from the inlet side (22) to the discharge side (23). The channels are formed by alternating flat layers (17) and folded layers (18), whereby all sides of the inlet channels face a discharge channel. A particularly high filter efficiency is thereby achieved such that a large filter surface area and a high filter capacity are attained with a relatively small structural volume. The filter can be used, for example, as an air filter for various air filtration applications.

  • Patent number: 6508851
    Abstract: A filter including a housing with a bottom shell (11) and a cover (13) for receiving a filter element (10). The filter element has a seal (17) that is made of non-woven material and is also used as a filtering medium. The filter element is clamped in a slot (16) between clamping ribs (20) and clamping grooves (21). Manufacturing tolerances of the housing parts can thus be compensated over a wide range. This leads to improved economic efficiency in the manufacturing process, especially as regards the production of synthetic resin housings. In addition, the assembly and retaining forces acting between the parts of the housing can be reduced, thereby simplifying the assembly process.
