Patent number: 11975287Abstract: A roll forming method may be used to provide a pleated filter media pack and filter cartridges with channels formed. The pack includes a strip of a filter media extending opposed edges and opposed front and back sides. The strip is pleat tips with spacer structure such as integrally formed embossments maintaining a spacing between pleat panels. The inlet and outlet flow faces are created by the edges of the filter media rather than the pleat tips. Alternating pairs of pleat panels are closed such as by seal beads at the inlet and outlet flow faces.Type: GrantFiled: April 15, 2021Date of Patent: May 7, 2024Assignee: Parker-Hannifin CorporationInventors: Daniel J. Copley, Brian Ehrenberg, Jason L. Tate

Patent number: 11944927Abstract: The disclosure is directed toward presses which may comprise planar or curved press plates that can be driven toward and away from each other such as via linear reciprocating movement to press filter media sheets as opposed to using rolls. The press plates can create such features as embossments that may have the ridges and grooves, brands, creases or other such features. The press can create pleated packs or individual panels for non-pleated packs. Additionally, a variety of embossed pleat packs, unique shapes, structural components and other pleat packs that may be formed by presses or other methodology are disclosed as well as filter cartridges using such pleat packs.Type: GrantFiled: December 9, 2021Date of Patent: April 2, 2024Assignee: PARKER INTANGIBLES LLCInventors: Jason L Tate, Farrell F. Calcaterra, Thomas B. Green, Charles R. Wick, Ryan M. Pastrana, John Michlitsch

Publication number: 20220193579Abstract: A filter cartridge includes an open-ended housing and filter element supported in the housing and defining an annular region between a periphery of the filter element and a side housing wall. A water collection region is between an end of the filter element and a lower-housing wall. The filter element includes pleated media surrounding an axially-extending central area, and pleats of different heights round the central area. An end plate is bonded to the filter element to prevent fluid flow through the pleats' upper ends. One passage is through a plate opening into the central area. Another passage is between the end plate and peripheral region. The filter element has freely-supported lower ends. A seal between the lower periphery of the filter element and the housing prevents fluid bypass of the filter element. Fluid passes through the pleats, and water coalesces on the media and drains into the collection region.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 10, 2022Publication date: June 23, 2022Applicant: Parker-Hannifin CorporationInventors: Jason L. Tate, Sreevalli Bokka

Publication number: 20220096985Abstract: The disclosure is directed toward presses which may comprise planar or curved press plates that can be driven toward and away from each other such as via linear reciprocating movement to press filter media sheets as opposed to using rolls. The press plates can create such features as embossments that may have the ridges and grooves, brands, creases or other such features. The press can create pleated packs or individual panels for non-pleated packs. Additionally, a variety of embossed pleat packs, unique shapes, structural components and other pleat packs that may be formed by presses or other methodology are disclosed as well as filter cartridges using such pleat packs.Type: ApplicationFiled: December 9, 2021Publication date: March 31, 2022Applicant: Parker-Hannifin CorporationInventors: Jason L.
