  • Patent number: 11583792
    Abstract: A fluid filter device with a housing defining a cavity, the housing including a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, a filter unit including a filter substrate and arranged within the cavity such that the filter unit and the housing define, within the cavity, a first chamber in fluid communication with the fluid inlet and a second chamber in fluid communication with the fluid outlet. The filter unit is movable relative to the housing between a first position and a second position such that in the first position, the first chamber is in fluid communication with the second chamber through the filter substrate, and in the second position, the inlet is in fluid communication with the outlet through a bypass line.

  • Patent number: 11491427
    Abstract: An adaptor plug for a spin-on fluid filter, in particular for a spin-on return filter, wherein the adaptor plug comprises a plug-in end which is designed to be plugged into a cavity in a flange of a hydraulic device in a fluid tight manner and a filter end which is designed to be connected to the spin-on filter in a fluid tight, detachable manner and at least one internal fluid channel connecting said plug-in end with said filter end, wherein the adaptor plug at its filter end comprises a threaded tube or bolt on which the spin-on filter can be screwed. By this design, the use of a filter set with or without an adaptor ring between the adaptor plug and the filter is enabled. By the adaptor plug, the spin-on filter can be applied to a variety of hydraulic devices, among others, with a ¾ 16 UNF cavity.
