The invention relates to a filter insert (100) for being removably arranged in a filter housing, wherein the filter insert (100) comprises a drainage member (104) projecting from a first end of the filter insert, wherein the drainage member projects in a transverse direction in relation to an axial direction of the filter insert.

The present invention discloses a rectangular shaped filter and coalescer elements and a vessel that houses a plurality of such rectangular shaped elements. Greater filtration or separation efficiency is provided due to increased number and alignment of rectangular shaped filter elements in the vessel. The rectangular shaped filter elements are also easy to replace.

An oil filter assembly is disclosed for a machine, such as an internal combustion engine, that has an oil output port and an oil input port. A mounting plate may be fixed with an outer enclosure and may be adapted for securing to the machine. The mounting plate may be further adapted to conduct oil from the machine into a peripheral portion of the outer enclosure, and then returning oil from a central portion of the outer enclosure back to the machine. Oil may pass from the peripheral portion to the central portion through a primary filter having a first porosity. A pressure-actuated valve may be fixed fluidly between the peripheral portion and central portion of the outer enclosure. Oil may pass through the pressure-actuated valve only when an oil pressure differential between the peripheral portion and the central portion of the outer enclosure exceeds a predetermined threshold pressure. A secondary filter may have a second porosity greater than the first porosity, and may be fixed fluidly between the pressure-actuated valve and the central portion of the outer enclosure.

A filter capture tool and filter removal tool useful to extract a filter from a compressor filter housing is disclosed. The filter capture tool and filter removal tool can be used separate an in some forms can be used independent of the other. In one form the filter capture tool can be inserted into a central open space of a filter element at which point a number of arms can be deployed from the capture tool to engage an interior surface and thereby capture the filter element. The filter removal tool includes an extension member that can be deployed from a base connected to a filter housing. The extension member can be connected to an arm which reaches from the base of the removal tool to the filter element to assist in removing the element from the interior of the filter housing.

This invention is directed to a filter removal tool comprising: a cup configured to engage with a filter so that rotating the cup rotates the filter; an opening in a shaft or cup and extending through the cup so that when a puncture cap that can be received into the cup punctures the filter, fluid flows from the filter out of the cup. The shaft can transition from a first position to a second position wherein the puncture cap can puncture the filter in the second position. A wrench or other tool can be used to remove the filter using the cup. The cup can be secured to the filter with a magnet or collet assembly. A tube can be connected to the cup to direct fluid that exits the filter. An impact member can be used to force the puncture cap into the filter.

A filter pad for use in a dewatering container is presented. The filter pad is configured to fit within the interior cavity and substantially line the interior surfaces. Material, which is usually liquids and slurries, is added to the container with the filter in place and gravity is used to filter the sediment, while the water is released through a release nozzle. The solids are retained in the filter pad for later disposal. The filter pad has a portion that can be selectively opened and is configured for placement substantially adjacent the door to permit selective egress of contents of the interior cavity.

The present application relates to apparatus for mounting on a rotatable portion of a diesel filter for controlling a drainage valve. The apparatus comprises an outlet for draining liquid from the diesel filter, mounting apparatus for fixedly mounting the apparatus on the rotatable portion, and a manipulation portion for manipulation by a user's hand which projects, at least in part, radially outward from said rotatable portion, in use. The application also relates to a finger grip wheel for a diesel filter. The finger grip wheel has a drainage outlet and at least one finger detent for accommodating a tip of a user's finger to facilitate rotation of the finger grip wheel.

This invention relates to an oil filter extractor assembly for enabling the change of an oil filter. The oil filter extractor assembly for enabling the change of oil filter comprising: a first end having a handle means for threading the oil filter extractor assembly to the oil filter; a round plate; a second end having an external threads; and wherein the round plate presses against the seal of the oil filter to avoid spilling of the oil. The present invention provides an oil filter extractor assembly for changing the oil filter, which is easy to use & simple, safe, saving the time, manually operable, and avoiding any spillage of the oils on the vehicle or onto the ground.

The present invention provides methods and systems for a reusable water filter cartridge that includes a top portion with a pair of spaced apart bores for receiving an elongate member that is inserted through the bores, and a bottom portion selectively secured to the top portion and including a cavity. A filter element is contained within the cavity.
