Patent number: 10279298Abstract: A plate-type filter element for gas filtration has a filter medium body with a circumferentially extending seal that contacts seal-tightly a first sealing surface of a filter housing extending in a filter element plane of the filter element. A sealing bracket is connected to the seal and contacts seal-tightly a second sealing surface of the filter housing extending at least partially outside of the filter element plane. A filter device has a filter housing with first and second sealing surfaces. A plate-type filter element is mountable exchangeably in the filter housing. The filter element has a filter medium body, a circumferentially extending seal, and a sealing bracket connected to the seal. The first sealing surface extends in the filter element plane; the second sealing surface extends partially outside of the filter element plane. The seal contacts seal-tightly the first sealing surface; the sealing bracket seal-tightly contacts the second sealing surface.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2017Date of Patent: May 7, 2019Assignee: MANN + HUMMEL GmbHInventors: Arthur Sudermann, Marcel Hofmeister, Daniel Schmid, Stefan Walz, Matthias Krohlow, Thomas Sieber, Michael Kolmeder, Frank Pflueger, Christian Thalmann, André Roesgen, Robert Hasenfratz, Fabian Wagner

Patent number: 10279424Abstract: A filter device for gas filtration has a filter housing and a plate-type filter element disposed in the filter housing. The filter element is provided with a raw side and a clean side and is flowed through from the raw side to the clean side by a gas to be purified in a direction that is orthogonal to a filter plane of the plate-type filter element. A cover element is connected to the filter housing by a tensioning bolt penetrating the filter element. The filter element has a cutout forming a clean-side gas collecting chamber. A sealing element is arranged on the clean side of the filter element and frames the gas collecting chamber at least partially. A sealing eye is connected to the sealing element and arranged in the gas collecting chamber, wherein the tensioning bolt is guided through the sealing eye.Type: GrantFiled: March 13, 2017Date of Patent: May 7, 2019Assignee: MANN+HUMMEL GmbHInventors: Arthur Sudermann, Marcel Hofmeister, Daniel Schmid, Stefan Walz, Matthias Krohlow, Thomas Sieber, Michael Kolmeder

Patent number: 6564768Abstract: An intake system for an internal combustion engine of a motor vehicle, which includes a first air intake 10, which is arranged at a point in the motor vehicle that is advantageous for air intake, and a second air intake 11, which is arranged at a point that is protected from road spray and splashes of water. The two air intakes 10, 11 end in a common line 12 that communicates with the internal combustion engine. In the first air intake 10, a moisture sensor 14 is arranged. When water enters into the first air intake 10, this moisture sensor emits a signal that actuates a solenoid 23 to move a pivotable valve 13. In a first switching position pivotable valve 13 closes the second air intake 11 so that no air reaches line 12 from the second air intake 11. In a second position (shown in broken lines) pivotable valve 13 closes the first air intake 10 so that air reaches line 12 only through the second air intake 11.Type: GrantFiled: October 26, 2001Date of Patent: May 20, 2003Assignee: Filterwerk Mann & Hummel GmbHInventors: Sascha Bauer, Thomas Haubold, Michael Kolmeder

Patent number: 5622583Abstract: A filter insert and a method for producing the same in which the filter insert has an accordion-folded filter medium. In a first operating step, folded edges are impressed on the filter medium. Subsequently, by glue application devices which are provided with glue application nozzles, at least two glue beads are applied to the surface of the filter medium and the folding is carried out subsequently. At least one of the glue application devices is movable transversely to the transport direction of the filter medium.Type: GrantFiled: August 29, 1994Date of Patent: April 22, 1997Assignee: Filterwerk Mann & Hummel GmbHInventors: Volker Ernst, Arthur Klotz, Michael Kolmeder, Bernhard Wimmer
