  • Patent number: 11241645
    Abstract: In a method for producing a filter medium, at least one substrate layer of a nonwoven comprising cellulose fibers and/or synthetic polymer fibers is provided and a fiber layer of polymer fibers is deposited on the at least one substrate layer. Prior to depositing the fiber layer, a solvent is applied to the at least one substrate layer, wherein a material of the substrate layer and/or a material of the fiber layer is soluble in the solvent. A filter medium produced by the method has material-fused connections at crossing points of the polymer fibers and/or cellulose fibers of the substrate layer with the polymer fibers of the fiber layer.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 8075658
    Abstract: A filter element has a zigzag-shaped fold pack of folds. At least one terminal element is folded parallel to the folds of the fold pack. The at least one terminal element has a first leg, a second leg, and a third leg. The first leg is arranged substantially perpendicularly to a flow direction of a medium flowing through the filter element. The first, second and third legs are delimited by folds of the at least one terminal element. The first and second legs are positioned substantially at a right angle relative to one another. The third leg projects laterally away from the filter element to form a peripheral seal.

  • Patent number: 8062404
    Abstract: A filter insert insertable seal-tightly into a filter housing has a filter element having end faces. At least one of the end faces of the filter element is engaged by a reinforcement clamp provided with a sealing element. The reinforcement clamp and the sealing element together form a single integral component. The sealing element has an outer sealing section that is connected to the reinforcement clamp so as to be movable relative to the reinforcement clamp.
