VARIABLE AIR FILTER ASSEMBLIES
An air filter assembly includes a filter element having at least one variable dimension, and a frame for engaging and supporting the filter element. The frame may include a plurality of linear segments forming a rectangular configuration, and a plurality of clips for connecting the linear segments together at corners thereof. The linear segments may be L-channel segments, C-channel segments, or may be of other form. Clips may be used for connecting the linear segments together at the corners. The filter element may have a pattern of creases or fold lines to facilitate folding thereof from an expanded configuration to a reduced configuration. A grate may be included for spanning an area bounded by the frame to support the filter element. The grate may have multiple arms and a central hub. An edge treatment may form a seal between the filter element and the frame.
FILTER ASSEMBLY AND FLOOR CLEANER
The present disclosure provides a floor cleaner that includes a replaceable component, such as a brushroll or a filter. The floor cleaner has a detection mechanism comprising a magnet on the replaceable component and a Hall Effect sensor positioned to detect the permanent magnet when the replaceable component is correctly installed on the floor cleaner. Operation of one or more electrically-powered components of the floor cleaner is prevented when the permanent magnet is not detected by the Hall Effect sensor.
EM Filter for EGR Cooler
An EM filter for an EGR cooler includes a gasket and a mesh filter including a horizontal wire and a vertical wire that are metal wires, wherein the horizontal wire and the vertical wire form a twill weave structure, and wherein a wire diameter of the horizontal wire with respect to a wire diameter of the vertical wire is greater than 1 and less than or equal to 1.3.
FILTER TUBE HOLDING GROMMET FOR FILTRATION SYSTEM
A dust filtering and collection system for filtering dust and other particles from an air stream generally being used for conveying granular material into or from a bulk tank, with the filtering system designed to incorporate structure, such as a specially designed grommet, for holding a porous filter tube for filtering out such dust particles, with a grommet having structure to provide for its interlocking and engagement with and through an aperture in a transverse plate within the system. The grommet has an upper flange, that engages the upper surface of the transverse plate, and has an inner flange for engagement with the upper edge of the filter tube, while the bottom of the grommet has resilient fingers and associated detents for engaging the bottom of the transverse plate, to furnish an interlocking of the grommet, with its supported filter tube, onto and through the transverse plate.
AIR CLEANER ASSEMBLIES
An air cleaner assembly including a housing, a filter cartridge removably positioned within the inner opening of the housing, wherein the filter cartridge includes a media pack and a sealing member that includes a pinch seal portion spaced from an outer surface of the media pack and positionable within a housing channel of the housing when the filter cartridge is positioned within the inner opening of the housing, and a precleaner assembly positionable between the filter cartridge and the inlet end of the housing, wherein the precleaner includes a base member having a lower edge, and an access cover removably attachable to an inlet end of the housing, wherein the precleaner assembly is sealable within the air cleaner assembly by pressing the lower edge of the base member against a top surface of the sealing member.
Filter assembly and floor cleaner
The present disclosure provides a floor cleaner that includes a replaceable component, such as a brushroll or a filter. The floor cleaner has a detection mechanism comprising a magnet on the replaceable component and a Hall Effect sensor positioned to detect the permanent magnet when the replaceable component is correctly installed on the floor cleaner. Operation of one or more electrically-powered components of the floor cleaner is prevented when the permanent magnet is not detected by the Hall Effect sensor.
FILTER ELEMENT WITH AN ANNULAR SEAL HAVING A POSITIONING AND SEALING SECTION WITH CONCENTRIC ANNULAR SEAL RINGS FORMING A SEALING GROOVE
A filter element for exchangeable installation into a filter housing has an annular filter medium with an annular seal secured directly or indirectly onto the first axial end. The annular seal having a positioning and sealing section and concentric annular sealing rings between which a sealing groove is formed. A radially outer side of the radially outer annular ring having a key locking system formed by a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart radial projections, spaced apart by radial indentations, adapted to positively engage cooperative configured geometries or key locking features of a filter housing when in an installed state, thereby locking a rotational orientation and position of the filter element.
Variable air filter assemblies
An air filter assembly includes a filter element having at least one variable dimension, and a frame for engaging and supporting the filter element. The frame may include a plurality of linear segments forming a rectangular configuration, and a plurality of clips for connecting the linear segments together at corners thereof. The linear segments may be L-channel segments, C-channel segments, or may be of other form. Clips may be used for connecting the linear segments together at the corners. The filter element may have a pattern of creases or fold lines to facilitate folding thereof from an expanded configuration to a reduced configuration. A grate may be included for spanning an area bounded by the frame to support the filter element. The grate may have multiple arms and a central hub. An edge treatment may form a seal between the filter element and the frame.
Filter device
A filter device for filtering particles from an air stream has an inlet channel through which the air to be purified flows, at least one filter element through which the air can flow and which is interchangeably held in a flow channel, and an outlet channel through which the purified air flows, an insertion chamber which can be closed by a door and from which a filter element can be fed to the flow channel, and an output chamber closable by a closure element, into which a filter element is feedable from the flow channel. The closure element of the output chamber is locked in the closed position via a locking mechanism when the door on the insertion chamber is opened and the output chamber and the insertion chamber are connected to the same flow channel.
CURVED LOBED SEAL LOCK AIR FILTER SYSTEM
Various embodiments provide for a filter assembly. The filter assembly includes a filter housing, a filter element, and a cover. The cover includes a first cover end and a second cover end disposed axially away from the first cover end. A second coupling member is adjacent to the second cover end. The second coupling member is configured to engage a first coupling member to couple the cover and the filter housing. A biasing member is coupled to the first cover end. An interface plate is configured to press against a first endplate of the filter element to secure the engagement of a first engagement portion of a filter seal member of the filter element and a second engagement portion of a housing seal member of the filter housing.
