Abstract
Abstract A holder for an annular filter including a support body, a sealing annulus and a core cap. The support body has a conical section at one end and the sealing annulus has a conical section for mating with the conical section of the support body and clamping the filter between the conical sections to form a continuous seal with the annular filter. The core cap engages the sealing annulus and draws the conical section of the sealing annulus toward the conical section of the support body.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 13
Claim 1
Independent Claim
143 words
A filter holder unit comprising: an annular filter having an open end; body means for supporting the annular filter, said body means having a first conical section at one end thereof for receiving the open end of the annular filter; a sealing annulus having a second conical section for sealing the open end of the annular filter to the first conical section of said body means; a core cap including means for drawing the second conical section of said sealing annulus toward the first conical section of said body means in such manner as to clamp the annular filter between said first and second conical sections and form a continuous seal around the open end of the annular filter; and wherein the first conical section of said body means has a sealing lip for engaging said core cap and forming a seal therewith.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
143 words
A filter holder unit comprising: an annular filter having an open end; body means for supporting the annular filter, said body means having a first conical section at one end thereof for receiving the open end of the annular filter; a sealing annulus having a second conical section for sealing the open end of the annular filter to the first conical section of said body means; a core cap including means for drawing the second conical section of said sealing annulus toward the first conical section of said body means in such manner as to clamp the annular filter between said first and second conical sections and form a continuous seal around the open end of the annular filter; and wherein the first conical section of said body means has a sealing lip for engaging said core cap and forming a seal therewith.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
143 words
A filter holder unit comprising: an annular filter having an open end; body means for supporting the annular filter, said body means having a first conical section at one end thereof for receiving the open end of the annular filter; a sealing annulus having a second conical section for sealing the open end of the annular filter to the first conical section of said body means; a core cap including means for drawing the second conical section of said sealing annulus toward the first conical section of said body means in such manner as to clamp the annular filter between said first and second conical sections and form a continuous seal around the open end of the annular filter; and wherein the first conical section of said body means has a sealing lip for engaging said core cap and forming a seal therewith.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
143 words
A filter holder unit comprising: an annular filter having an open end; body means for supporting the annular filter, said body means having a first conical section at one end thereof for receiving the open end of the annular filter; a sealing annulus having a second conical section for sealing the open end of the annular filter to the first conical section of said body means; a core cap including means for drawing the second conical section of said sealing annulus toward the first conical section of said body means in such manner as to clamp the annular filter between said first and second conical sections and form a continuous seal around the open end of the annular filter; and wherein the first conical section of said body means has a sealing lip for engaging said core cap and forming a seal therewith.
