  • Patent number: 5545241
    Abstract: An air cleaner (10) includes a housing (12) having a first section (14) and a second section (16). The first and second sections (14) and (16) are rotationally adjustable relative to one another. Alignment teeth (42) and (60) engage one another to position the two sections (14) and (16) relative to one another. Buckle type clasps (60) engage a ridge (44) to cam together the sections (14) and (16) and lock them in sealed engagement. A mounting bracket (80) includes a somewhat flexible band (82) which extends around the housing (12). The band (82) includes raised block portions (88) extending radially inward and spaced about the inner surface of the band (82). The housing includes a locking portion (30) having recesses formed therein which are spaced and aligned to receive raised block portions (88) of the mounting band (82). When the bracket (80) is placed around the housing (12), the raised block portions engage the recesses of the lock portion (30) and the bracket (80) is held in place.
