A support structure for an interior volume of a construction of pleated media is operably oriented in the interior volume and structurally supports the media. The support structure can pass directly through an innermost 60% of the interior volume. It can have a void volume not more than 80%. It can be inner liner-free and extend in a non-curved path. It can include a first sheet and second sheet of porous material. At least a first brace construction secures the first sheet and second sheet together and in spaced apart, opposing relation. The support structure can include a pleated construction having pleats extending in a direction non-parallel and angled to the direction of pleats of the pleated filter media. The support structure can be molded spacers.

The present invention relates to a filtering device for liquids and in particular for filtering fuels for aeronautical use (avio).

A filter module for a water dispensing device according to the present disclosure includes a filter housing which has an inflow port and a discharge port, and a plurality of filters which includes a filtration member provided in the filter housing to purify water flowing therein through the inflow port and to supply purified water to the discharge port, and filtering raw water flowing therein from the outside into purified water, and the filter module includes a pre-filter through which raw water passes firstly and in which a first carbon block having a hollow shape is built-in, a hollow fiber membrane (UF membrane) filter through which water passes through the pre-filter passes secondly, a second carbon block having a hollow shape through which water passing through the hollow fiber membrane filter passes thirdly, and an electrostatic adsorption member through which water passing through the second carbon block passes fourthly.

A structure in which no shearing force acts on each member is desired to be used at a welded part where a stress is liable to be concentrated. To solve this problem, the flange member includes a cap member, a ring member, and sheet-shaped thermoplastic resin member. At least one end of the thermoplastic resin member includes a protruding part that protrudes from an end surface of the cap member and from an end surface of the ring member. The protruding part is welded to the end surface of the cap member and to the end surface of the ring member.

The invention relates to a filter system comprising a housing and a filter element being accommodated in the housing, wherein a safety assembly is arranged inside the housing, having a blocking mode and an unblocking mode depending on an axial and/or rotational position of the filter element in the housing and being configured to provide access of a sealing structure of the filter element to a sealing area of a housing cover in the unblocking mode and to block access of the sealing structure to the sealing area in the blocking mode when the sealing structure of the filter element is moved towards the sealing area. The invention further relates to a safety assembly for a filter system and a filter element.

A filter element for fluid filtration, in particular for hydraulic fluid, has element components, such as pleated and multi-layer filter material (10) that extends between two end caps (26) and has a fluid-permeable supporting tube (14) forming a hollow cylinder. At least one element component of the filter element is provided at least partially with at least one luminescent material or marker such that the material or marker is excited to a characteristic, detectable wave emission when exposed to a certain exciter wave or wave spectrum.

The invention relates to a filter insert for insertion into a filter housing of a fluid filter, comprising a filter material, which is designed to be flowed through by a fluid to be filtered during operation of the fluid filter from a raw side to a pure side of the fluid filter, and to a floatable radio module, which is designed to float on a water quantity located in a water collection area of the fluid filter during operation of the fluid filter.
