Patent number: 6966981Abstract: A replaceable filter cartridge assembly for a liquid filter and a liquid filter in which such a filter cartridge is installed. The filter cartridge 10 is provided with a support element 15, and a seat 20 for a sealing membrane 19 is provided on the support element 15. The sealing membrane seals the inlet 22 of the housing via a sealing edge 21 that acts as a return flow barrier over the inlet. The sealing membrane 19 also has a radial sealing surface 23 to provide a seal between the support element 15 and the outlet port 24 of the filter. This permits the filter cartridge to be manufactured in a particularly cost-effective manner and assures simple mounting within the housing. Since only the filter cartridge, which can be pushed onto the support element 15, needs to be exchanged, very little material has to be disposed of when the filter is replaced, which further increases the cost-effectiveness of the filter in use.Type: GrantFiled: May 16, 2003Date of Patent: November 22, 2005Assignee: Filterwerk Mann & Hummel GmbHInventors: Walter Binder, Klaus Mack

Publication number: 20030146149Abstract: A filter element including an annular support body, a filter medium, which is preferably a filter paper folded in a zigzag shape, positioned on the annular support body, and end disks, which are positioned on the axial end faces of the filter medium and glued or welded to the filter medium. The filter element is characterized in that a seal carrier is provided on the support body in the vicinity of one or both end disks, and a seal, particularly an elastomer seal, is affixed to the seal carrier in an interlocking manner. The seal carrier is designed to be radially elastic. The filter of the invention is particularly suitable for filtering liquids.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 23, 2002Publication date: August 7, 2003Applicant: Filterwerk Mann & Hummel GmbHInventors: Walter Binder, Helmut Luka, Norbert Strassenberger, Gerhard Vilsmaier, Matthaeus Huber, Renate Gottwald-Grill

Patent number: 6471755Abstract: A gas conducting system, particularly a compressed air system for a motor vehicle, which includes a filter containing a desiccant for removing moisture from a gas passed therethrough. The housing structure of the filter is provided with a seal with a weakened area 18, which specifically causes any overpressure to be reduced through failure of the weakened area if the pressure inside exceeds a permissible maximum. This process can be repeated multiple times until the seal with the weakened area 18 must be replaced due to aging. The weakened area can be used as a substitute for a pressure relief valve or as supplemental protection in case the pressure control valve fails, e.g., due to ice. This can prevent, for instance, bursting of the filter housing which could present a safety risk.Type: GrantFiled: August 9, 2001Date of Patent: October 29, 2002Assignee: Filterwerk Mann & Hummel GmbHInventors: Walter Binder, Markus Kolczyk, Christian Fischer

Patent number: 6159261Abstract: A filter cartridge, in particular for an intake air filter of an internal combustion engine, the cartridge including a hollow cylindrical filtering body (10) which is provided on at least one end face with an end disk. The end disk carries a sealing element (12) which is made up of a supporting medium and a sealing medium (15). The sealing medium is preferably composed of a silicone or a silicone foam.Type: GrantFiled: June 11, 1999Date of Patent: December 12, 2000Assignee: Filterwerk Mann & Hummel GmbHInventors: Walter Binder, Heinz Mueller

Patent number: 5071456Abstract: An air filter for an internal combustion engine having a housing 10 with an air inlet 11 on the raw air side and an air outlet 12 on the clean air side. The air outlet has a tubular projection 27 extending into the housing 10 on which a filter insert 15 can be removably fastened. Air passes through the filter insert 15 radially from the outside in. To seal the filter insert 15 on the tubular projection 27, a radial gasket 23 is provided which has an attachment portion clamped by an inwardly extended flange on an end plate 19 of the filter insert, and which has a seal portion with a sealing area arranged adjacent the attachment portion.Type: GrantFiled: October 10, 1990Date of Patent: December 10, 1991Assignee: Filterwerk Mann+Hummel GmbHInventors: Walter Binder, Hans Erdmannsdoerfer, Gerhard Henning, Bruno Sommer

Patent number: 5028153Abstract: A bearing block for anchoring a self-contained bearing for a moving part of a robotic manipulator to such robotic manipulator is provided, wherein the self-contained bearing has a known outside diameter. In particular, the bearing block comprises a body portion having attachment means for attaching the bearing block to the robotic manipulator, with such body portion being split into a base piece and a clamp piece along a dividing axis. A bearing race or bore is formed through the body portion and centered therewithin on the dividing axis. The bore is formed after the body portion has been split along the dividing axis, and has an effective diameter slightly undersized relative the outside diameter of the self-contained bearing to be held therewithin.Type: GrantFiled: September 25, 1990Date of Patent: July 2, 1991Assignee: Cincinnati Milacron Inc.Inventors: David E. Suica, Walter Binder, Edward J. Bailey

Patent number: 4804170Abstract: There is provided a counterbalance assembly for use in combination with a rotatable robotic arm and the like in a robotic manipulator, where the robotic arm is rotated about an axis by a torque-producing device having a relatively stationary base. The assembly further includes a torsional spring comprising a pair of concentric tubes connected to each other by rubber, with one tube connected to the arm and the other tube connected to the base. In general, any torque created by the influence of gravity acting on the robotic arm, as it is rotated, is counterpoised by torsional wind-up in the spring due to proportional resistance of the rubber to torsional shear. This spring/arm combination thereby reduces the load on the torque-producing device.Type: GrantFiled: February 11, 1987Date of Patent: February 14, 1989Assignee: Cincinnati Milacron Inc.Inventors: Frederick C. Young, Walter Binder
