An air purifier has an air filter including: a filter member including a plurality of filtration regions each having a plurality of vertical pleats extending in an up-down direction and side surfaces connected to be rotatable with respect to each other; and a frame having a plurality of supports for supporting the plurality of filtration regions. Each of the plurality of supports includes a groove having a shape corresponding to any one of an upper edge and a lower edge of each of the filtration regions. Each of the filtration regions is supported by the supports by at least a part of the upper edge or the lower edge being inserted into the groove.

Present embodiments relate to an air filter adapter for use with open style engine air filters. More particularly, but without limitation, present embodiments relate to a filter adapter having a hydrocarbon trap positioned within the adapter.

The invention is based on an air filter with a filter element (28), a substantially cylindrical filter housing (12) with an unfiltered air inlet (18) and a filtered air outlet (20) arranged substantially concentrically on a first end face of the filter housing (12), wherein an extension tube (22) projects into the interior of the filter housing (12) at the filtered air outlet (20) and the filter element (28) comprises a first end plate (24) which can be plugged onto the extension tube (22).

It is proposed that the first end plate (24) is formed of plastic and comprises a sealing lip (30) formed thereon and projecting radially inwardly, which sealing lip (30) rests against the extension tube (22) in the plugged-on state.

An adapter (1) for use in a dedicated coupling system (2) for releasably coupling an air filter cartridge (20) and a housing (36) of a dedicated air filter assembly (34), the adapter (1) comprising: a first surface area (4) being rotatably coupleable with a housing-side coupling element (6) of the coupling system (2), and a second surface area (8) preferably being non-rotatably coupleable. Cartridges, components, features and methods are described.

Present embodiments relate to an air filter adapter for use with open style engine air filters. More particularly, but without limitation, present embodiments relate to a filter adapter having a hydrocarbon trap positioned within the adapter.

A filter bondable to a grille is provided. The filter is fixable alone to the grille so as not to separate therefrom without using another element such as a hook and loop fastener. The filter is constituted by a filter body and ears integrally connected to the outer edge of the filter body. The filter is bondable to the grille by bringing the filer body into abutment with the front surface of the grille, and bending the ears relative to the filter body until the ears abut against the side surface of the grille. By forming the ears at the filter, and bringing the ears into abutment with the side surface of the grille so as to be bonded thereto, it is possible to increase the attachment strength of the filter relative to the grille, compared to conventional filters each constituted by only a filter body.

The invention relates to a cartridge flange for fitting filter cartridges in filter systems, in particular industrial suction-extraction systems or air-filter systems.

A filter assembly includes a filter head and filter cartridge. The filter cartridge includes a housing and element. The housing includes a can with an open mouth. An interface ring is secured to the can adjacent to the open mouth. The outer ring surface is against the inner wall of the can. The ring wall is angled between the first and second ends greater than one degree and less than 6 degrees. Methods of filtering and making the housing are provided.

The present invention relates to an adapter element (11) for a holding device for an air de-oiling element of a vacuum pump (1), comprising a first cylindrical portion (11a) having a first diameter and a second cylindrical portion (11b) having a second diameter and adapted to receive the air de-oiling element (2), whereby the first diameter is equal to or smaller than the second diameter and whereby the second cylindrical portion (11b) has circumferential recesses which form at least three fixing fingers (11e) aligned parallel to the longitudinal axis of the adapter element and distributed uniformly or non-uniformly over the circumference of the second cylindrical section (11b), wherein at least two fixing fingers (11f) are mounted so as to be elastically radially displaceable. The present invention also relates to a holding device (10) for an air de-oiling element (2) of a vacuum pump (1), in particular an oil vacuum pump.
