A clothes lifting device for a washing machine includes a body, which is internally provided with an accommodating chamber; water inlets, which are arranged in the body and communicate with the chamber; a centrifugal drainage assembly, which is arranged in the chamber, wherein the initial state of the centrifugal drainage assembly is a closed state, and the centrifugal drainage assembly is opened for drainage under the action of centrifugal force; and filtering assemblies, which are arranged on the water inlets of the body and are used for filtering water entering the chamber. The filtering assemblies can effectively filter thread scraps in water entering from the water inlets, so that the centrifugal drainage assembly is located in an environment without thread scraps or with few thread scraps, the possibility that the thread scraps are attached is fundamentally avoided, and the working reliability of the centrifugal drainage assembly is effectively guaranteed.

A fuel filter has a filter housing and a fuel filter insert exchangeably arranged in the filter housing and provided with a prefilter element and a main filter element. Prefilter element and main filter element are positioned one behind the other in the filter housing in axial direction of the filter housing. A fuel discharge channel is arranged in the filter housing below the fuel filter insert. In operating position of the fuel filter insert in the filter housing, the raw sides of prefilter element and of main filter element are sealed relative to the fuel discharge channel by seal-tight contact of the fuel filter insert on the filter housing. The raw side of the main filter element, when the fuel filter insert is moved by axial movement away from the operating position, is fluidically connected with the fuel discharge channel via the raw side of the prefilter element.

A fuel filter insert for a fuel filter has a low-pressure region with prefilter element arranged therein. A high-pressure region arranged fluidically downstream of the low-pressure region has a main filter element arranged therein. Prefilter element and main filter element are arranged one atop the other axially in the fuel filter insert. A wall element projects away from the main filter element in axial direction and extends at least partially through the prefilter element. Low-pressure region and high-pressure region at least over sections thereof are separated from each other by the wall element. A fuel filter is provided with a filter housing in which the fuel filter insert is arranged. The filter housing has a fuel outlet and a fuel inlet for fuel prefiltered by the prefilter element. Fuel inlet and fuel outlet are fluidically positioned between low-pressure region and high-pressure region and a fuel pump is connectable thereto.

An axial extension part is proposed which makes it possible to use a filter cartridge (25) of larger axial dimensions than a standard filter cartridge for which the axial depth of a hollow housing (11) of a casing (10) of a selective catalytic reduction (SCR) device has been provided. This makes it possible to have different filtration characteristics without having to modify the casing. The larger filter cartridge (25) can be inserted into the extension part when this part is mounted in the housing (11) of the casing (10). The cartridge is sealed therein when the sealing cap (21) is put in place to close the opening at the rear end of the part.

A modular structural device for assembling a funnel of a filtration apparatus including a base sheet having a polygonal shape. The base sheet having two sections connected by a hinge along a diagonal from a first corner of the base sheet to a second corner opposite the first corner, the second corner being substantially concave. The device having at least connector having a first part and a second part disposed on opposite sections of the base sheet along opposite edges adjacent to the concave corner. The first part of the connector comprising a projection that extends away from an upper surface of the base sheet. The second part of the connector comprising a depression in a lower surface of the base sheet. The first part of the connector of the modular structural device is configured to interlock with the second part of the connector of another modular structural device.

A water filter is provided. The water filter includes a filtration material and a filter housing spaced for accommodating at least a portion of the filtration material therein. The water filter also includes a housing cap coupled to an upper end of the filter housing for enclosing the filtration material within the water filter. The housing cap includes an upper portion, a lower portion, and a channel formed through the upper portion and the lower portion. The water filter also includes an interface adapter accommodated in the channel, wherein the interface adapter includes a side wall vertically extending from an upper surface of the interface adapter and partially around a perimeter of the upper surface, and a projection vertically extending from the upper surface, wherein the projection is integrally formed with the upper surface and a portion of the side wall.

The present invention discloses a filtering apparatus for filtering liquid and dispensing the filtered liquid into a bottle separate from the filtering apparatus. The filtering apparatus includes an elongated housing having an interior for holding liquid. The elongated housing includes an opening at one end and a ceiling at another end. The opening encompasses projections extending towards the center of the elongated housing. The filtering apparatus includes a filter configured for insertion and removal from the elongated housing. The elongated housing receives the filter at the interior through the opening. The elongated housing receives a bottle at the opening and the projections hold the bottle at the opening while preventing further entry of the bottle into the interior of the elongated housing. The interior holds liquid and allows the liquid to flow down through the filter. The filter filters the liquid as it flows through. The filtered water enters the bottle for subsequent use, storage or transport.

A filter element comprises one or more several tubular filter media element segments, which may be pleated filter media ring segments. One or more heat activated disks are used to connect each tubular filter media element segments together and/or to connect tubular filter media element segments with one or more end cap supports. The heat activated disks are solid in form for assembly with tubular filter media ring segment and then heat activated to bond with tubular filter media ring segments. Multiple end caps can be simultaneously bonded to one or more tubular filter media element segments if a filter stack assembly of component are heated together, such as in an oven. Filter media may also be simultaneously cured. Heat activated disks may be used as pleat stabilizers and/or for and/or as part of end caps.

A method for manufacturing a filter (1) for gas masks includes providing a flat paper and folding the paper into a pleated preform. The filter element (2) is separated from the pleated preform (6) and is inserted into a housing (3). The inserted filter element (2) is connected to the housing (3) at least at some points. This filter elements (2) may have a polygonal outer contour, upon separating the element from the pleated filter preform (6). A foam and/or an adhesive is applied to an outer edge of the filter element (2), arranged on the circumference of the filter element, for an at least partial sealing of an edge (5). This establishes a connection to the housing (3) in at least some sections.

An exchangeable filter element of a liquid filter has a filter medium surrounding circumferentially a virtual axis of the filter element. A discharge closure element is arranged eccentrically at an axial end face of the filter element. The discharge closure element closes off a discharge opening of a discharge channel of the filter housing when the filter element is installed in the filter housing. The discharge channel serves to empty liquid from the filter when the filter element is removed. The discharge closure element has a limited circumferential expansion with respect to the virtual axis. The discharge closure element has a closure surface arranged at an axial end face of the discharge closure element. The closure surface is at least partially axially oriented. The closure surface rests so as to seal axially at a sealing section of the filter housing that surrounds the discharge opening of the filter housing.
