Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
174 words
A gas filter, in particular a room air filter, comprising encircling walls forming a square frame and an interchangeable filter package including a gas entrance and a gas discharge port and containing a filter web with a folded zig-zag configuration for forming a plurality of proximate filter pockets, said filter web being secured between the encircling walls of said frame, and further comprising a support grid for receiving the same which is mounted in the frame and which has a shape complimentary to the folds of said filter web, wherein all of said encircling walls of said frame have a stiff construction and together form a rigid container, said gas entrance port being adapted to be closed by bending in and folding over a portion of each of the encircling walls each of said walls having means which forms a marginal strip in each wall adjacent to said port, and tension means anchored to two of the encircling walls opposing one another securing the folds of the filter web adjacent the gas discharge port.
