  • Method of manufacturing a fluid filter
    Patent number: 10898834
    Abstract: The present disclosure provides a method of manufacturing a filter, wherein the filter comprises a filter body formed of a porous filtration material and a plastic support structure, the method including performing a first additive manufacturing step to form an initial portion of the support structure; positioning filtration material above or on the initial portion; performing a second additive manufacturing step to form a secondary portion of the support structure such that the filtration material is between the initial and secondary portions. Additionally, the filter body can be enclosed by positioning a first portion of the filtration material to overlay a second portion of the filtration material; and connecting the first portion of the filtration material to the second portion of the filtration material to define a pocket within the filter body, the support structure configured to maintain spacing between the first and second portions of the filtration material.

  • In-tank suction filter as the reserve cavity for a fluid delivery module assembly
    Patent number: 10086688
    Abstract: A fuel delivery module is located inside a fuel tank and supplies fuel from the fuel tank to the engine. An in-tank suction fluid filter has a filter body made of combination material layers with porous material and filtration material. An in-tank suction fuel filter functions to filter the fuel and holds a reservoir of fuel for supplying to the fuel pump. The in-tank suction fuel filter acts as the reservoir cavity needed to have a constant supply of filtered fuel available to the fuel pump. The in-tank suction fuel filter has a freeform body that can move upward or downward with thermal expansion of the fuel while maintaining constant contact with the bottom of the fuel tank.
