Patent number: 9689356Abstract: A filter device with filter housing and housing cover has a filter element disposed therein. A first holding part on the filter element projects past an outer wall surface of the filter element. A second holding part in the form of a counter holding part on the housing cover interacts with the first holding part. The first and second holding parts engage each other in a mounted state of the filter element. A first form-fit part is arranged on the filter element axially spaced from the first holding part and is associated with a second form-fit part in the form of a counter form-fit part. The first form-fit part and the first holding part, by rotational movement of the filter element about a longitudinal axis of the filter element, are each transferable into a form-fit engaged state with the counter holding part and the counter form-fit part, respectively.Type: GrantFiled: February 20, 2015Date of Patent: June 27, 2017Assignee: MANN+HUMMEL GMBHInventors: Klaus Waltenberg, Daniel Schmid, Norbert Strassenberger, Matthias Krohlow

Patent number: 7789924Abstract: A filter system for an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle has a housing with a top housing part and a bottom housing part. A filter element is arranged inside the housing. An unfiltered air connector is connected to the housing. A clean air connector is connected to the housing The top housing part has a support grate embedded in foam material. The support grate and the foam material are configured such that bending of the top housing part in a direction of the bottom housing part is ensured when a load is applied.Type: GrantFiled: October 17, 2007Date of Patent: September 7, 2010Assignee: Mann + Hummel GmbHInventors: Klaus Waltenberg, Robert Zbiral

Patent number: 6510832Abstract: An intake system for an internal combustion engine to avoid water intake, which includes a main air inlet (10), an auxiliary air inlet (11), and an air filter (12). In the main air inlet (10) there is a valve 16 to sealingly close the main air inlet (10) and a moisture sensor (15), which is connected so as to communicate with an evaluator (22) which, in turn, is connected to at least one other sensor (23) disposed outside the intake system and provided to detect other functions. Examples of possible other sensors (23) include rain sensors and/or temperature sensors. The sensor signals are coupled and or correlated in the evaluator (22), and in accordance with a logic which resides in the evaluator (22), a control signal is produced that opens or closes the main air inlet (10) by means of the valve (16), which can be moved into the respective open or closed positions by any of a number of diverse types of drives, such as, electrical, pneumatic, or electro-pneumatic drives.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2001Date of Patent: January 28, 2003Assignees: Filterwerk Mann & Hummel GmbH, Bayerische Motoren Werke AktiengesellschaftInventors: Hermann Maurer, Klaus Waltenberg, Alfred Sadlauer, Georg Novotny
