Definitions

  • the present disclosure generally relates to filtering systems and more particularly relates to attachment features of a filtering system.
  • Filter systems designed for residential and commercial use have become increasingly popular. The popularity arises from the need to remove unwanted substances from input water to make output water safer for consumption in various end uses. Filter systems may also be used to add substances to the output liquid, for example, minerals for taste enhancement.
  • the filter unit includes a slide assembly comprising an actuator and spring.
  • the slide assembly is moveably attached and contained within a collar assembly.
  • the collar assembly is configured to receive an end portion of a filter cartridge in releasable engagement.
  • the slide assembly is movable between a first position in which the slide assembly prevents disengagement of the filter cartridge from the collar assembly, and a second position in which the filter cartridge can be disengaged from the collar assembly. In the second position, the slide assembly engages the collar assembly in a way that the second position is maintained until an external force is applied. The external force can result from engagement of a portion of the slide assembly with a portion of the filter cartridge as the filter cartridge is being disengaged from the collar assembly.

  • This resistance feature of such an engagement mechanism prevents the unintended release or removal of a filter, for example, under water line pressure.
  • the amount of force required to remove a filter cartridge from the head assembly even when such an engagement mechanism is released can be best applied when an operator can grasp the filter cartridge with two hands.
  • break out torque The applied rotational torque required to remove a filter cartridge from the manifold is sometimes referred to as the “break out torque.” If the engagement mechanism must be held in an actuated (disengaged) position in order to release the cartridge, it can be difficult for the operator to maintain one hand releasing the engagement mechanism while using the other hand to apply the necessary break out torque (e.g., rotating/twisting forces) to the filter cartridge necessary to remove the filter cartridge from the head assembly.
  • the various filter unit examples described herein include a slide assembly that defines an engagement mechanism.

  • the automatic reset features of the slide assembly 14 can better ensure that the consumer is able to properly install the replacement filter housing. If the consumer inadvertently actuates slide assembly 14 into the latched position F after the filter cartridge 16 has been removed, the second reset protrusion 42 would interfere with the neck stop surface 70 (see FIG. 9 ).

  • the filter cartridge includes first and second stop members. The method includes moving the slide assembly from the unlatched position wherein the slide assembly engages the first stop member to restrict rotation of the filter cartridge relative to the filter cartridge head assembly, into the latched position in which the slide assembly is disengaged from the first stop member to permit rotation of the filter cartridge relative to the head assembly.
  • the method also includes engaging a first latch member of the slide assembly with a second latch member of the head assembly to retain the latch assembly in the latched position, rotating the filter cartridge in a release direction relative to the head assembly until the second stop member engages the slide assembly to disengage the first and second latch member to provide movement of the latch assembly from the latched position to the unlatched position, and further rotating the filter cartridge in the release direction until the filter cartridge is removed from the head assembly.
