Abstract: The invention relates to a filter element consisting of a filter medium (10) that is pleated in a zigzag manner and has a concentric shape, and a first end disk (11) and a second end disk (12) disposed on an opposite front, wherein the end disk (12) has a concentric opening (13) and extends substantially annularly across the pleats of the filter medium. The end disk (11) has a ring collar (14) extending radially toward the outside. Said ring collar (14) has a seal (15) that surrounds the ring collar at least partially, wherein the seal has an axially extending region, which carries radially peripheral sealing lips (17), and said radially peripheral sealing lips are supported in a groove (18) or in a housing wall (19) of a housing receiving the filter element.

Abstract: A filter element (12), particularly for the intake air of an internal combustion engine. The filter element (12) has a filter body (13) and a seal (15) disposed circumferentially around the filter body (13). The seal (15) is bonded to the filter body (13) with an adhesive (31) and includes a hard component (26) and a soft component (27). The hard component (26), which rests directly on a housing section, prevents the filter element (12) from moving relative to this housing section, and since the filter element cannot move relative to the housing section, damage to the filter element is avoided.

Abstract: A filter element formed from at least one flat layer of permeable filter medium alternating with at least one pleated layer in such a way that the resulting channels have an open, especially triangular, cross section, a first group of channels being tightly sealed at one end and a second group of channels being tightly sealed at the other end such that a fluid to be filtered flowing through the filter element from an incident flow side formed by one end face to a discharge side formed by the opposite end face, must pass through one of the layers, and at least one group of channels is filled with adsorbent particles and closed by a gas-permeable fabric disposed over the corresponding end face of the filter element, the fabric pores being smaller than the adsorbent particles.
