Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 3
Claim 1
Independent Claim
124 words
A filter for removing impurities from an airstream comprising a housing having filter media holding means operatively attached thereto and a flange disposed within and about the inner periphery of said housing, a filter media retainer frame fixedly attached to said housing, filter media defining two coaxial pockets secured in an airtight manner on said flange by said holding means, said retainer frame retaining said media across said housing with the two integral coaxial filter pockets being of substantially equal depth, thereby optimizing the impurityremoving properties of said filter media, said filter media retainer frame comprises a rectangular section and four diagonally disposed substantially V-shaped members, said rectangular section retaining one of said filter pockets and said V-shaped members retaining said other filter pocket.
