Abstract
Abstract Described is a gas phase permeable filter and method for making same comprising the steps: 1. Providing a gas phase permeable substrate having opposite surfaces; 2. Applying an adhesive to one or both of the surfaces of the substrate; 3. Applying particulate gas phase odor-removing means to the adhesive coated surface or surfaces of the substrate; 4. Drying the adhesive; and 5. Assembling the substrate in a desired filter configuration wherein the outer surface of the filter is a surface of the substrate free of particulate gas phase odor-removing means and the inner surface of the filter is a surface of the substrate coated with the particulate gas phase odor-removing means adhesively secured thereto.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 17
Claim 1
Independent Claim
125 words
A gas phase permeable filter comprising: a plurality of self-supporting perforated sheet substrates arranged in confronting spaced apart face-to-face relation having discrete perforations, a means for holding said substrates in the aforesaid assembled relation, a uniform layer of particulate odor-adsorbing media disposed in the space between said substrates, said layer consisting essentially of discrete odor-removing particles ranging in size from approximately 12/28 to 4/6 measured by the Tyler screen series individually adhesively bonded to one of the confronting substrate faces such that the layer is held between the spaced apart substrates against settling or displacement, and each odor-removing particle having only a minor portion of its surface in contact with the adhesive and a major portion upstanding from the substrate face and free of adhesive.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
125 words
A gas phase permeable filter comprising: a plurality of self-supporting perforated sheet substrates arranged in confronting spaced apart face-to-face relation having discrete perforations, a means for holding said substrates in the aforesaid assembled relation, a uniform layer of particulate odor-adsorbing media disposed in the space between said substrates, said layer consisting essentially of discrete odor-removing particles ranging in size from approximately 12/28 to 4/6 measured by the Tyler screen series individually adhesively bonded to one of the confronting substrate faces such that the layer is held between the spaced apart substrates against settling or displacement, and each odor-removing particle having only a minor portion of its surface in contact with the adhesive and a major portion upstanding from the substrate face and free of adhesive.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
15 words
The filter of claim 1 wherein the particulate odor-adsorbing media is comprised of activated charcoal.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
15 words
The filter of claim 1 wherein the particulate odor adsorbing media is comprised of alumina.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
15 words
The invention defined by claim 1 wherein at least one of the substrates is paper.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
15 words
The invention defined by claim 1 wherein at least one of the substrates is metal.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
32 words
The invention defined by claim 1 wherein each particle of said layer of odor-removing media is bonded to one or the other but not both of the confronting faces of the substrates.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
25 words
The invention defined by claim 1 wherein substantially each particle of said layer of odor-removing media is bonded to both confronting faces of the substrates.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
21 words
The invention defined by claim 1 wherein the substrates comprise a substrate spirally wrapped upon itself through a plurality of convolutions.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
26 words
The invention defined by claim 8 wherein both faces of the substrate internally of the spiral have a layer of said particulate media adhesively bonded thereto.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim
19 words
The filter of claim 1 further comprising dust-removing means juxtaposed against an outer face of one of the substrates.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim
16 words
The filter of claim 10 wherein the dust-removing means is comprised of a non-woven loose batt.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim
18 words
The filter of claim 1 wherein the substrates are comprised of laminae of a cellulosic material and metal.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim
20 words
The filter of claim 12 wherein the metal of the laminate is aluminum foil and the cellulosic material is paper.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim
22 words
The invention described by claim 1 wherein the particulate media has a size of 6/8 mesh measured by the Tyler screen series.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim
125 words
A gas phase permeable filter comprising: a plurality of self-supporting perforated sheet substrates assembled in confronting spaced apart face-to-face relation having discrete perforations, each of said confronting faces having disposed upon it a uniform layer of odor-adsorbing media consisting essentially of discrete odor-removing particles individually bonded by adhesive to its adjacent confronting face such that the layer is held between the spaced apart substrates against settling and displacement, each odor-removing particle having only a minor portion of its surface in contact with the adhesive and a major portion upstanding from the substrate face and free of adhesive so to form a thickness of odor-removing media between the substrates of approximately two particulate diameters; and a means for holding said substrates in the aforesaid assembled relation.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim
