Abstract
Abstract A filter for liquids with a filter head provided with inlet and outlet channels and with a filter body arranged therebelow which is retained at the filter head by a central threaded connection, and in which the discharge of the liquid takes place centrally; a bolt engaging by means of a thread in the filter body is thereby provided to establish the threaded connection which is in communication by way of a coaxial dead-end bore and a cross bore, on the one hand, with the interior of the filter body and, on the other hand, with the outlet channel in the filter head; a sealing ring is provided between the thread of the bolt and the cross bore which provides a radial seal in the filter head with respect to the bolt bore.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 12
Claim 1
Independent Claim
216 words
A filter for liquids comprising: a filter head including an inlet channel, a discharge channel, and a bore extending downwardly through said filter head, said bore having a first diameter tapering downwardly to a second smaller diameter providing a conically shaped bore portion; a filter body located below said filter head; a bolt member inserted through said bore and threadedly connected to said filter body for connecting said filter body to said filter head, said bolt member having a first shank portion with a diameter corresponding to said first diameter and a second shank portion with a diameter corresponding to said second smaller diameter, and said bolt member communicating said filter body with said discharge channel by means of a dead-end bore and a full cross-bore through said bolt member, said cross-bore and said discharge channel communicating through an annular chamber surrounding said bolt member at the conically shaped portion of said bore in said filter head; and sealing ring means constructed and arranged in a groove in said second smaller diameter shank portion of said bolt member for sealing said downwardly extending bore in said filter head, whereby said sealing ring means is inwardly compressed in said groove by the conically shaped portion of said bore upon insertion of said bolt member into said bore.

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
33 words
A filter according to claim 1, wherein said bolt member projects into said filter body below the upper edge of said filter body sufficiently to form a venting space in said filter body.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
34 words
A filter according to claim 2, wherein an approximately horizontally extending separating plane is provided between said filter head and said filter body with said filter head being minimally spaced from said separating plane.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
22 words
A filter according to claim 3, wherein said filter head includes a portion extending toward said filter body below said separating plane.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
29 words
A filter according to claim 4, wherein said discharge channel terminates in said annular chamber above said second smaller diameter of said downwardly extending bore through said filter head.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
34 words
A filter according to claim 1, wherein an approximately horizontally extending separating plane is provided between said filter head and said filter body with said filter head being spaced minimally from said separating plane.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
22 words
A filter according to claim 6, wherein said filter head includes a portion extending toward said filter body below said separating plane.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
29 words
A filter according to claim 1, wherein said discharge channel terminates in said annular chamber above said second smaller diameter of said downwardly extending bore through said filter head.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
30 words
A filter according to claim 1, wherein said sealing ring means is inwardly compressed by said conically shaped portion below the termination of said discharge channel in said annular chamber.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
211 words
In a filter for liquids of the type comprising a filter head, a filter body, connecting means for connecting said filter body to said filter head with said connecting means providing communication for liquids between said filter head and said filter body, wherein said connecting means includes a bolt member extending through said filter head and threadedly engaging said filter body, and sealing means associated with said connecting means for sealing said filter head from said filter body, the improvement comprising means for guiding insertion of said bolt member into said filter head to engage said filter body while preventing damage of said sealing means, wherein said means for guiding insertion includes a bore extending through said filter head with said bore conically tapering in the direction of insertion from a first diameter to a second smaller diameter, and wherein said bolt member has a shank portion having a corresponding diameter to said second smaller diameter of said conically tapering bore, and said sealing means are associated with said shank portion of said bolt member in the zone of said second smaller diameter of said bore, whereby said sealing means is inwardly compressed at said shank portion by the conically tapering bore upon insertion of said bolt member into said bore.
