Abstract
Abstract A filter cartridge or element for separating particles from fluid flowing inwardly through the cartridge, and a process for making the same, such cartridge having a central perforated inner tubular core member with a pre-formed mat of non-woven fibrous filter material having a width substantially equal to the length of the core member and wrapped around only the core member and itself in a continuous spiral layer to form a roll of the mat. The roll mat of filter material is contained or confined by an open mesh material such as that formed by a substantially single layer of a strand of roving wound in an open criss-cross or open diamond weave pattern around only the outer periphery of the material of the rolled mat and itself so as to maintain a permanent dimensional and structural stability or integrity during subsequent handling and use.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 11
Claim 1
Independent Claim
98 words
A filter cartridge for separating particles from fluid flowing inwardly through the cartridge, wherein the improvement consists essentially of: an inner tubular perforated core member; a pre-formed needle punched mat of non-woven unbonded fibrous filtering material having a width substantially equal to the length of said core member and wrapped in a continuous spiral layer around only said core member and itself, to form a roll of said mat; and a strand wound in a criss-cross open weave pattern around only the outer periphery of said roll and itself to form an open mesh network containing said roll.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
98 words
A filter cartridge for separating particles from fluid flowing inwardly through the cartridge, wherein the improvement consists essentially of: an inner tubular perforated core member; a pre-formed needle punched mat of non-woven unbonded fibrous filtering material having a width substantially equal to the length of said core member and wrapped in a continuous spiral layer around only said core member and itself, to form a roll of said mat; and a strand wound in a criss-cross open weave pattern around only the outer periphery of said roll and itself to form an open mesh network containing said roll.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
123 words
A filter cartridge for separating particles from fluid flowing inwardly through the cartridge, wherein the improvement consists essentially of: an inner tubular perforated core member; a pre-formed needle punched mat of non-woven fibrous filtering material having a width substantially equal to the length of said core member and wrapped in a continuous spiral layer around only said core member and itself, to form a roll of said mat; and a strand wound in a criss-cross open weave pattern around only the outer periphery of said roll and itself to form an open mesh network containing said roll; said cartridge, following formation thereof, being impregnated with resin to make the fibers of said roll more rigid without appreciably affecting the permeability of said cartridge.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
123 words
A filter cartridge for separating particles from fluid flowing inwardly through the cartridge, wherein the improvement consists essentially of: an inner tubular perforated core member; a pre-formed needle punched mat of non-woven fibrous filtering material having a width substantially equal to the length of said core member and wrapped in a continuous spiral layer around only said core member and itself, to form a roll of said mat; and a strand wound in a criss-cross open weave pattern around only the outer periphery of said roll and itself to form an open mesh network containing said roll; said cartridge, following formation thereof, being impregnated with resin to make the fibers of said roll more rigid without appreciably affecting the permeability of said cartridge.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
38 words
The filter cartridge of claim 1, wherein the fibers of said mat have a diameter range from about 0.01 micron to about 100 microns, and said roll has a packing density range from about 0.06 to about 0.2.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
38 words
The filter cartridge of claim 2, wherein the fibers of said mat have a diameter range from about 0.1 micron to about 100 microns, and said roll has a packing density range from about 0.06 to about 0.2.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
114 words
A process for making a filter cartridge for separating particles from fluid flowing inwardly through the cartridge wherein the improvement consists essentially of the steps of: mounting a tubular perforated core member on a mandrel; rotating the core member and mandrel together; wrapping a pre-formed needle punched mat of non-woven unbonded fibrous filtering material having a width substantially equal to the length of said core member in a continuous spiral layer around only said core member and itself, to form a roll of said mat; and winding a strand in a criss-cross open weave pattern around only the outer periphery of said roll and itself, to form an open mesh network containing said roll.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
114 words
A process for making a filter cartridge for separating particles from fluid flowing inwardly through the cartridge wherein the improvement consists essentially of the steps of: mounting a tubular perforated core member on a mandrel; rotating the core member and mandrel together; wrapping a pre-formed needle punched mat of non-woven unbonded fibrous filtering material having a width substantially equal to the length of said core member in a continuous spiral layer around only said core member and itself, to form a roll of said mat; and winding a strand in a criss-cross open weave pattern around only the outer periphery of said roll and itself, to form an open mesh network containing said roll.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
34 words
The process of claim 5, including the step of impregnating said cartridge, following formation thereof, with resin to make the fibers of said roll more rigid without appreciably affecting the permeability of said cartridge.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
37 words
The process of claim 5, wherein the fibers of said roll have a diameter range from about 0.01 micron to about 100 microns, and said roll has a packing density range from about 0.06 to about 0.2.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
34 words
The process of claim 7, including the step of impregnating said cartridge, following formation thereof, with resin to make the fibers of said roll more rigid without appreciably affecting the permeability of said cartridge.
