The present disclosure provides a skimmer basket assembly. The skimmer basket assembly may include a basket, the bottom of which may include one or more flaps. A handle may be connected to the basket via one or more connectors configured to selectively expand and contract. The handle may include a trigger mechanism that is mechanically linked to the one or more flaps of the basket. The trigger mechanism may be configured to operate the one of more flaps of the basket upon manipulation of the trigger mechanism. The skimmer basket assembly may include a lid that is slidingly connected to the one or more connectors. The lid may be configured to receive the handle therein and substantially cover a top opening of the basket.

A disc segment adapted to be attached to other disc segments to form a disc assembly, the disc segment including an isosceles trapezoid frame. The frame comprises a left side rail and a right side rail, and a plurality of spaced apart parallel horizontally extending ribs connected between the side rails. The frame defines a first disc side and an opposite second disc side, each disc side including a corrugated left bottom clamp list adjacent the left side rail and supported by the ribs, and a corrugated right bottom clamp list adjacent the right side rail and supported by the ribs. Each disc side also includes a corrugated wire mesh supported by the left and right clamp lists, and supported by the frame ribs.

A filter element may include a tubular element, first and second end caps, each associated with an opposite end of the tubular element, filter media positioned around the tubular element and between the first and second end caps, a biasing element associated with the tubular element, and a retainer element positioned at a first end of the tubular element. The retainer element may include a retainer aperture including a central circular portion and two opposite lateral slots extending from opposite sides of the central circular portion, and two arcuate shoulder segments extending between opposite sides of the two opposite lateral slots. A full tab may extend a first axial distance from a bottom surface of one of the two arcuate shoulder segments at a circumferential position in between the two opposite lateral slots, and a partial tab may extend a second axial distance less than the first axial distance from a bottom surface of the other of the two arcuate shoulder segments at a circumferential position on an opposite side of the lateral slots from the full tab.

A filter comprising a filter housing, a removable housing cover closing the housing during operation, a liquid inlet, a filtered liquid outlet, an exchangeable filter cartridge separating a raw side of the filter from a clean side, and a filter bypass valve comprising a valve seat and a valve body movably guided relative to the valve seat and biased in a closed direction. The valve seat is fixed in or on the housing cover, the valve body and a spring pre-loading the valve body in the closed direction are guided in or on the housing cover and are fixed to the cover. The filter cartridge has a spring support, such that when the cartridge is installed in the filter and the housing cover is attached to the housing, the end of the spring facing away from the valve body is supported and pre-stressed via the spring support.

In one aspect, a modular filter assembly for filtering fluid that flows in a flow direction therethrough is disclosed. The assembly includes a first housing section having a first filter element; a second housing section having a second filter element; and a connector disposed between the first and second housing sections. A housing includes the first housing section, the connector, and the second housing section. The flow direction is through the first and second filter elements in series.

During the process of compressing air, atmospheric air along with water vapor and airborne contaminants are ingested into the air compressor. Many of these compressors utilize oil for lubrication, sealing and cooling. A compressor system utilizes drain valves to remove the condensate that accumulates in the system which are typically located on the compressor, moisture separators, coalescing filters, receivers, dryers, and drip legs. While the drain valves successfully remove the condensate, this condensate is now contaminated with lubricant. The compressor system also includes a filter for the removal of lubricant from the condensed water so that the water can be discharged to sewer. The filter is arranged to house a series of vertically stacked filter cartridges, each cartridge structured to pass fluid flow to the other cartridge. The housing is connected to the filter cartridges via a variable length pipe extension dependent on the number of filter cartridges used in an application.

A fuel filter insert for a fuel filter is provided with a prefilter element and a main filter element which are arranged one atop the other in an axial direction relative to a longitudinal axis of the fuel filter insert. The main filter element has a water separating unit configured to separate water contained in a fuel to be filtered. The water separating unit has a water discharge channel for water separated from the fuel, wherein the water discharge channel is extending in the axial direction at least partially through the prefilter element. A fuel filter with such a fuel filter insert has a filter housing accommodating the fuel filter insert and the water discharge channel of the fuel filter insert is fluidically connected with a water collecting chamber of the filter housing.

A rotary vessel for a filter assembly is rotatably mountable in a housing of the filter assembly and has a body having an open end, a cover receivable on the body to close the open end, and a releasable locking device that is manually operable to selectively lock and unlock the cover relative to the body.

The removable integrated food strainer is a novel invention designed to simplify the process of draining liquids and rinsing residual materials from canned goods. It consists of a specially designed built-in strainer that is integrated into the pre-manufactured can or container of various canned goods upon purchase. This unique design provides both convenience to the user and cost efficiency as additional household kitchen utensils are not required to drain said canned goods.
