The invention relates to a filter element (1) with one filter tube (10), which has a cavity (11) and a first and a second end (12, 13), wherein an access (20) into the cavity (11) with an access channel (21) is formed at the first end (12) of the filter tube (10). The access channel (21) is designed as a Venturi tube (22) with a cross-sectional constriction (23).

A filter device for a water-bearing domestic appliance which has a surface filter with a sleeve shape, a support structure for said surface filter and a flow-through filter housing with filter inlet and filter outlet. The surface filter is held stably on the support structure, which has through-flow openings and a central opening at the end. A first flow path for water leads into the support structure and out again through the through-flow openings and the surface filter. A second flow path leads into the support structure and out again only through the central opening. The support structure is designed circumferential and is formed by support ribs which between them comprise the through-flow openings. The surface filter is attached or pressed onto the outside of the support structure in such a way that it covers the through-flow openings and rests on the outside of the support ribs.

A clothes treatment apparatus is disclosed. The clothes treatment apparatus according to one embodiment of the present invention comprises a cabinet, a tub and a drum, and further comprises: a column part, which is provided on the surface opposite to one surface of the drum, protrudes toward a drum opening, and has a space formed therein; and a filter part which is provided inside the column part, and which filters out foreign material in water flowing into the column part, wherein the filter part includes: a filter body part extending in parallel with the column part, and including a filter surface facing the inner peripheral surface of the column part; and a filter-fixing part coupled to the inner peripheral surface of the column part so as to fix the filter body part to the inside of the column part.

A mechanical hold down for use with a pump assembly containing a seat nipple including: (i) a mandrel having a top edge, an external threaded region, a bottom tapered seat member, and an interior bore; (ii) a top bushing having a bushing interior bore, an upper external threaded section, and a lower internal threaded section engaged with the external threaded region of the mandrel; wherein the mandrel top edge is within an interior space defined by the engagement of the mandrel with the bushing; and (iii) an internal strainer assembly including a strainer bushing positioned in the interior space that has a lower edge abutting the mandrel top edge, a strainer affixed to the strainer bushing and extending through at least a portion of the mandrel's interior bore, and an intermediate element positioned about the mandrel and below the mandrel external threaded region that defines a tapered external surface.

A filter configured to replace an original filter disposed in a cavity in a transmission, increases fluid flow rate through the filter. An example filter includes a bottom structure configured to mate with the bottom portion of the cavity, and the bottom structure defines an outlet through which oil passes from the cavity to the outlet of the housing. The filter also includes a filter media having a bottom portion and an opposite top portion, the bottom portion being coupled to the bottom structure of the filter. In the example filter system, the outer diameter of the bottom portion of the filter media is greater than the outer diameter of the top portion of the filter media.

A tank screen (10) having at least one contact region or contact area (14) for positioning the tank screen relative to a tank inlet, a solid wall (16) having a portion extending above the at least one contact area or contact region (14), and a mesh screen (18) for filtering leaves from water entering the rainwater tank, the mesh screen (18)comprising a mesh side wall (20) that has an upper region located above the at least one contact area or contact region (14), the at least the upper region of the mesh sidewall (20) being at least partly enclosed by the solid sidewall (16).

A filter system for filtering fluids, in particular a liquid fluid filter system, includes a housing comprising a longitudinal segment having a first opening, and a branching segment having at least one second opening for fluid passage, the housing extending in an axial direction, and the first opening and the at least second opening being separated along the axial direction. The filter system further comprises a filter element comprising a filter body configured to protrude into the housing through the first opening and to filter a fluid flow between the first opening and the at least second opening.

A screen (S1-S14), in particular a pressure screen or a pressure screen device which has an inlet (Z) and at least one axially spaced accept (Ak) and reject (R), is provided. Screen elements (2) are arranged in the inlet space (ZR) of the screen (S1-S14) and in the inlet space (ZR) of the screen elements, spaced radially therefrom, there is a rotor (3) which rotates by means of a driving means (G). In the axial direction between the inlet (Z) and accept (Ak), the rotor comprises at least two rotor regions (A, B) which rotate at different rotational speeds. Each rotor region (A, B) is assigned a corresponding screen basket region (2A, 2B, 2A, 2B). These rotor regions can rotate in the same direction or in opposite directions. The screen is operable according to the inflow principle or the outflow principle, optionally also in combination.
