Patent number: 6626299Abstract: A filter cartridge for use in a filter system, in which the cartridge has no structural metal parts and is adapted for environmentally acceptable disposal. A pleated paper filter media is formed into a cylinder, and end caps at the axial ends of the cylinder hold the shape of the filter. Sealing gaskets are associated with the end caps. At least one side has a radial seal formed at the outer periphery of the filter cartridge to protect the associated end cap from higher a pressure region found at the outer periphery. The other axial end can have a similar radial filter in some applications, or in other applications, where flow at that end of the filter is not desired, can utilize an axial seal specially configured to protect the associated end cap from higher pressure at the outer periphery. Maintenance of lower pressure at the respective end caps places any axial loads on the filter in tension, and thereby prevents the application of axial crushing loads on the filter cartridge.Type: GrantFiled: August 13, 1997Date of Patent: September 30, 2003Assignee: Baldwin Filters, Inc.Inventors: Gene W. Brown, Jeffrey E. D. Rogers

Patent number: 5738785Abstract: A housing system for a removable filter cartridge in an automotive lubrication system. The housing is formed of a thin-walled sheet metal drawn cylinder, with end removed, to form an elongated cylinder with both ends open. A base end has a formed metallic base secured therein by a rolled flange in the sheet metal housing. A closure end has a formed threaded ring secured to the end thereof by another rolled and swaged connection between the sheet metal and formed ring. In the preferred embodiment, the base carries permanent center tubes, and the filter cartridge is of unsupported construction, containing no metallic supports, and adapted to be disposed of in an environmentally acceptable manner.Type: GrantFiled: December 20, 1995Date of Patent: April 14, 1998Assignee: Baldwin Filters, Inc.Inventors: Gene W.
