The outer wall has a lower end portion and an upper end portion, wherein the upper end portion comprises a lower collar, and the lower collar comprises at least one lock notch spaced around an exterior surface thereof. The lid assembly is configured to couple to the lower collar of the outer wall. The lid assembly has an upper collar configured to mate with the lower collar. The upper collar has at least one housing that is coupled to the upper collar, and at least one biasing clip pivotally mounted within the housing for releasable engagement with the lock notch. A pair of pipeline filter assemblies, wherein at least one connection plate is used.

A modular filter element frame (10) and a filter element frame assembly (100, 150) are disclosed. The filter element frame (10) has an elongate body (12) with a central bore (14) extending axially through the body. In cross-section the body has at least three smooth-ended lobes (16) that extend radially therefrom. The lobes are angularly spaced about the central bore such that a longitudinally extending channel (18) is formed along the body between adjacent lobes. Each channel has a plurality of longitudinally spaced apertures (20) extending into the central bore. Axially outer ends (24, 28) of the body are adapted to enable axial stacking thereof with like modular filter element frames to cooperatively form a filter element frame assembly (100, 150) with a required axial length. The assembly may receive a filter sleeve such that the sleeve extends at least partially along an outer periphery thereof.

A pipeline filter assembly comprising a base assembly, an outer wall, and a lid assembly. The outer wall has a lower end portion and an upper end portion, wherein the upper end portion comprises a lower collar, and the lower collar comprises at least one lock notch spaced around an exterior surface thereof. The lid assembly is configured to couple to the lower collar of the outer wall. The lid assembly has an upper collar configured to threadedly mate with the lower collar. The upper collar has at least one housing that projects from the upper collar, the housing having an interior surface, and at least one biasing clip pivotally mounted within the housing for releasable engagement with the lock notch. A pair of pipeline filter assemblies, wherein at least one connection plate is used.

A filter element includes a first end cap, a second end cap, and an intermediate end cap disposed between the first end cap and the second end cap. A ring of first filter media circumscribing a first central cavity is disposed between the first end cap and the intermediate end cap. A ring of second filter media is disposed between the intermediate end cap and the second end cap. The filter element also includes an air-bleed conduit axially extending through the first central cavity and comprising a first portion integrally formed with the first end cap and a second portion integrally formed with the intermediate end cap and configured to connect to the first portion thereby forming a conduit for transmitting fluid.

The invention relates to a bioactive filter for the disinfection of liquids, in particular water or aqueous solutions in containers. A structure that is advantageous in terms of filter efficiency is obtained by forming a spherical or oval filter body (1), which is coated with noble metals (FIG. 1).

A connector assembly for fluid filter elements is provided comprising first and second connector elements each comprising at least two connector snap arches, each of the connector snap arches including a snap tooth lock; and at least two connector snap arms, each of the connector snap arms including a snap tooth; each connector element having a central opening, and an annular channel for receiving an end of a hollow cylindrical filter element; a gasket arranged between the first connector element and the second connector element, the gasket having a central opening; wherein the first connector element and the second connector element are lockably engageable with each other when placed in contact with each other and axial force is applied such that respective connector snap tooth is retained in each respective connector snap tooth.

A device for treating fluid, in particular a filter device, has first and second tubular elements (12), (14) forming an element assembly (10). One element (14) is accommodated in the other element (12) forming a flow chamber (33) between the two elements (12, 14), with a first element (12) arranged in the direction of the inflow side (29) of a fluid to be treated and a second element (14) arranged in the direction of the outflow side (31) of the treated fluid in the element assembly (10). During the fluid treatment, the flow is routed through both elements (12, 14) in succession from the direction of the inflow side (29) towards the outflow side (31). In a joint viewing direction (P), the first element (12) facing the inflow side (29) at least partially has a uniform or non-uniform contour and the second element (14) facing the outflow side (31) at least partially has a non-uniform or uniform contour.

A water purification filter element is provided. The water purification filter element may include a filter bottle, a filter material, an end cover, and a water self-stopping and passing structure.
