  • modular housing section 30 is substantially cylindrical.
  • An outwardly extending ring 34 is located on the outer surface of housing section 30 at the longitudinal midpoint of housing section 30 .
  • Sidewalls 36 of housing section are slightly tapered, having a greater thickness near ring 34 and a smaller thickness near the opposing ends 38 of housing section 30 .
  • the tapering of sidewalls 36 facilitates their release from a mold during manufacture of modular housing sections 30 .
  • the interior surface of sidewalls 36 define an interior cylindrical cavity 40 .
  • Modular housing sections 30 are joined end-to-end and co-axially.
  • ends 38 of adjacent housing sections 30 are abutted together during assembly of filter housing 22 .
  • the ends 38 of adjacent housing sections 30 form a fluid tight seal therebetween and the abutted ends 38 may be joined by welding.
  • housing sections 30 are formed of polypropylene with 20% glass fiber fill and adjacent housing sections 30 are welded together by interposing a hot plate between the two ends 38 to be joined and, after the ends 38 have been sufficiently heated, removing the plate and biasing the two ends 38 together so that they are fused together as they cool.
  • Ends 38 may also be joined together by spin welding or any other suitable method for forming a fluid tight joint.
  • each modular housing section 30 has the same configuration.
  • the joined housing sections 30 will have two opposing ends 38 that can be respectively joined to inlet housing section 26 and outlet housing section 28 .
  • Inlet and outlet housing sections 26 , 28 each have an assembly interface 42 that takes the form of a cylindrical wall defining an opening 44 .
  • Assembly interfaces 42 have the same configuration as ends 38 and inlet and outlet housing sections 26 , 28 .
  • Inlet and outlet sections 26 , 28 are also formed of polypropylene with 20% glass fiber fill. Consequently, the assembly interfaces 42 of inlet and outlet sections 26 , 28 can be joined to an end 38 of a modular housing section 30 in the same manner as ends 38 of separate modular housing sections 30 are joined together.
  • Inlet housing section 26 of assembly 20 is shown in FIGS. 8, 9 and 10 and includes an access opening 46 located coaxially and opposite opening 44 .
  • Inlet housing section 26 also includes a threaded inlet opening 48 that is joined to a fluid line to receive the fluid that is to be filtered by filter assembly 20 .
  • a camming interface for securing cap 56 to inlet housing section 26 includes a series of cam locking members 50 are located on the outer surface of generally cylindrical inlet housing section 26 .
  • Cam locking members 50 include a circumferentially extending locking portion 52 and a longitudinally extending stop 54 .
  • Cap 56 includes a plurality of cooperating cam locks 58 that extend circumferentially along the inner surface of cap 56 .
  • Cam locks 58 each include an inclined surface 60 and a locking surface 62 .
  • cam locks 58 fit between locking members 50 as cap 56 is longitudinally mounted on inlet housing section 26 .
  • Rotation of cap 56 engages each inclined surface 60 with one of the locking members 50 on inlet housing section 26 .
  • locking surfaces 62 are rotated into engagement with locking portions 52 to tightly engage cap 56 with inlet housing section 26 .
  • cam locks 58 engage stops 54 which thereby prevent the over-rotation of cap 56 .
  • a V-shaped gasket 66 ( FIG. 1A ) is used to form a fluid tight seal between cap 56 and inlet housing section 26 .
  • Gasket 66 is located between the inner radial surface 64 of inlet housing 26 that defines access opening 46 and cylindrical lip 68 located on cap 56 .
  • Gasket 66 has an open end 70 that faces the interior volume of inlet housing section 26 so that the interior of gasket 66 is in fluid communication with the fluid within filter assembly 20 . Consequently, when pressurized fluid is present in filter assembly 20 the fluid will bias the two separate legs of gasket 66 apart and into sealing contact with interior surface 64 and outer radial surface of lip 68 respectively.
  • Inlet housing section 26 includes a vent bore 67 at its upper rim which is sealed by gasket 66 when cap 56 is properly seated. If the cap is not properly seated, liquid will seep from bore 67 when the filter is filled to alert the user.
  • Filter element 24 is secured by engagement with inlet housing section 26 near assembly interface 42 .
  • Filter element 24 has a mounting ring 72 that is removably mounted to inlet housing section 26 in a snap fit engagement.
  • Ring 72 defines a mounting interface that includes an outer radially extending flange 74 and a generally cylindrical section 76 having an outwardly extending annular rib 78 which may be segmented.
  • Ring 72 also includes a second cylindrical mounting section 80 having a smaller diameter.
  • Filter bag 82 is secured to mounting section 80 .
  • ring 72 is formed of polypropylene. Other materials, however, such as nylon, polyester or steel may also be used to form the mounting ring of a bag-type filter element.
  • Filter bag 82 is a conventional non-woven felt filter bag. Such filter bags may be formed from fibers of a variety of different materials such as polyester, polypropylene, nylon, nomex, Teflon® or other suitable material as is well known to those having ordinary skill in the art. Filter bag 82 has an open end that is attached to mounting section 80 of ring 72 by ultrasonic welds 84 . Stitching or other suitable means may alternatively or additionally be employed to attach bag 82 to ring 72 . Bag-type filter elements suitable for use with the present invention are commercially available from Filter Specialists, Inc. having a place of business in Michigan City, Ind. For purposes of clarity, filter bag 82 is not shown in FIG. 1 .
  • FIGS. 1B and 1C illustrate the snap-fit securement of mounting ring 72 immediately prior to its securement.
  • outer radial flange 74 forms an acute angle with cylindrical section 76 and as axially-extending portions 80 , 76 of ring 72 are inserted further into opening 44 , radial flange 74 tightly engages inclined shoulder surface 86 which surrounds opening 44 .
  • An annular groove 88 is located within opening 44 and rib 78 is seated within groove 88 to secure mounting ring 72 in place. As illustrated in FIG. 1C , the seating of rib 78 within groove 88 forces outer radial flange 74 relatively upwardly as it engages shoulder surface 86 to thereby form a fluid tight seal between flange 74 and shoulder surface 86 .
  • the dashed line 74 a shown in FIG. 1C illustrates the position of radial flange 74 in an unbiased condition.
  • Ring 72 may also be provided with internal handles (not shown) that extend generally diametrically across ring 72 to allow ring 72 to be more easily flexed radially inwardly during insertion and removal of ring 72 .
  • Such handles are disclosed in U.S. Pat. No. 4,669,167 which is hereby incorporated herein by reference.
  • a reticulated filter basket 32 may optionally be employed with the present invention when using a bag-type filter element.
  • Filter basket 32 has a length that corresponds to the length of the filter bag and is used to prevent the filter bag from engaging the interior surface of the filter housing during filtering operations.
  • Filter basket 32 is positioned within the filter volume defined by modular housing sections 30 and rests upon ribs 90 located within outlet housing section 28 .
  • Filter basket 32 has a generally perforated structure defining fluid openings 92 over the majority of its surface area as best seen in FIGS. 4 and 5 with protrusions 94 .
  • fluid enters filter assembly 20 through inlet 48 and then passes through ring 72 and opening 44 and into filter bag 82 .
  • the fluid then passes through bag 82 .
  • the fluid is filtered and particulates removed from the fluid.
  • the filtered fluid then passes through openings 92 in filter basket 32 .
  • the filtered fluid flows between filter basket 32 and the interior surface of filter housing 22 towards threaded outlet opening 96 in outlet housing section 28 where it exits filter assembly 20 .
  • Outlet housing section 28 is shown in FIGS. 11 and 12 and includes three feet 98 for supporting filter assembly 20 in a vertical orientation. Ribs 90 located within the interior volume of outlet housing section 28 are best seen in FIG. 11 .

  • filter bag 82 has a length that corresponds to the filter cavity 40 defined by the use of two modular housing sections 30 as depicted in the fluid filter assembly 20 of FIG. 1 .
  • Dashed lines 82 a and 82 b indicate the length of two alternatively sized filter elements.
  • the differently sized bag-type filter elements would employ a mounting ring 72 having the same configuration whereby each of the bags could be mounted, using the snap-fit securement method described above, in an inlet housing 26 .
  • modular housing sections 30 each have the same configuration and are coaxially securable to thereby define a filter cavity 40 having a length that varies depending upon the number of modular housing sections 30 joined together.
  • the filter housing is constructed using only a single modular housing section 30 as depicted in FIG. 14 .
  • the fluid filter assembly 20 a shown in FIG. 14 thereby defines a filter cavity 40 having a length suited for use with the selected filter element.
  • the filter housing is constructed using three modular housing sections 30 to thereby define a filter cavity 40 having an appropriate length.
  • the present invention thereby facilitates the efficient manufacture of filter housings for a variety of differently sized filter elements.
  • Each of the filter housings will employ an inlet housing section 26 , in which each of the different filter elements can be removably mounted, an outlet housing section 28 , and one or more modular housing sections 30 .
