Abstract: A filter assembly comprises a filter element, and a mount having at least one port. Each of the filter element and mount has inter-engaging connection formations, where the filter element and mount can be detachably connected to one another. The mount defines a flow path between the port and filter element when the element is connected to the mount and includes a link element which can slide relative to the mount between retracted and deployed positions. The link element has one of a lug and an inclined ramp surface, and the filter element has the other of the lug and ramp surface. The lug and ramp surface form a cam drive where the lug engages the ramp surface as the filter element and mount are assembled, and slide along the surface when the element is rotated to draw the link element out of the mount towards its deployed position.

Abstract: A filter assembly includes a filter element, and a mount having at least one port, each of the filter element and mount having inter-engaging connection formations where the filter element and mount can be detachably connected to one another, with the mount defining a flow path for fluid to flow between the port and the filter element. The mount includes a valve with a valve member which can move between an open position and a closed position. One of the filter element and the mount has at least one lug and the other of the filter element and mount has a ramp surface, the lug engaging the ramp surface when the filter element and mount are brought together along an axis and a cam action between the lug and the ramp surface causes axial movement of the valve member when the filter element is then rotated relative to the mount.
