Patent number: 8613784Abstract: A filter element has a reinforcement band or ring along at least a portion of the perimeter thereof and performing a support function thereat preventing or minimizing damage upon attempted percussive cleaning of the filter element by service personnel striking the perimeter against an impact surface. Alternatively, a failure band or ring is provided along at least a portion of the perimeter and performs a designated failure function to a failure condition thereat upon attempted percussive cleaning, with the failure condition providing at least one of: a) an indication to service personnel that the filter element has been damaged and should not be re-installed; and b) a deformed condition preventing re-installation.Type: GrantFiled: March 4, 2013Date of Patent: December 24, 2013Assignee: Cummins Filtration IP Inc.Inventors: Scott P. Heckel, Roger L. Zoch, Kelly Ann Detra, Guillermo Alberto Smith, Matthew T. VandenBush, Pathikrit T. Banerjee, Caryn J. Kindkeppel
