Description

好ましくは、固定機構は、好ましくはスナップフィットによって、濾過アセンブリの外周（outer circumference）と弾性的に係合するように構成される。
したがって、濾過アセンブリを簡単なプロセスで支持体に挿入して取り付けることができ、取り外しには、弾力性によって与えられるバイアス保持力を克服するためのアクティブプロセスが要求されるため、取り扱いエラーやアセンブリのフレームからの意図しない取り外しを回避できる。 Preferably, the securing mechanism is configured to resiliently engage the outer circumference of the filter assembly, preferably by a snap fit.
Therefore, the filtration assembly can be inserted and attached to the support in a simple process, and removal requires an active process to overcome the bias retention force imparted by the elasticity, thus eliminating handling errors and assembly failure. Unintentional removal from the frame can be avoided.

実施形態では、固定手段１５は、濾過アセンブリ１００が支持体５上に設置され、下向きに押し込まれるとき、好ましくはスナップフィットによって、濾過アセンブリ１００の外周または周囲上のリム（rim）またはエッジ（edge）または凹部と係合することができる複数の弾性ラッチの形態である。ラッチは、濾過アセンブリ１００を支持体５から解除するために手動操作によって取り除かなければならない係合方向の付勢力を適用するように形成されてもよい。 In an embodiment, the securing means 15 are secured to a rim or edge on the perimeter or perimeter of the filtration assembly 100, preferably by a snap fit, when the filtration assembly 100 is placed on the support 5 and pushed downwards. ) or in the form of a plurality of resilient latches that can engage the recesses. The latch may be configured to apply a biasing force in the direction of engagement that must be removed by manual manipulation to release the filter assembly 100 from the support 5 .
