Abstract
Abstract The invention is an in-line fluid filter. The filter employs a ring-like magnet which intercepts magnetic particles from the flowing fluid and an integrally molded nylon unit which disperses the fuel in its movement toward a nylon mesh filter, insures the unrestricted flow of the fluid between the magnet and the mesh, and at the same time provides a mechanism to firmly hold the magnet in place at the inlet end of the filter''s casing.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
138 words
A fluid filter comprising an elongate case including a pair of opposed fittings providing fluid openings therethrough, a ring-like magnetic filter adjacent one of said fittings for capturing foreign magnetic particles within the fluid, said magnetic filter including an opening therethrough positioned in the path of the flowing fluid within the case, a filtering mesh adjacent said magnetic filter for capturing remaining foreign particles within the fluid, a conically shaped deflector member between said magnetic filter and said mesh and spaced from said magnetic filtering means for deflecting fluid from an axial path radially outwardly toward said mesh, and axially extending dividers connected to said deflecting means and said mesh, said dividers including resiliently pivotal tabs for compressibly engaging said magnetic filter and providing an unrestricted flow of the fluid from said magnetic filter over said deflector member.
