Abstract
Abstract A pressure gas connection of a reverse-flow device with the pressure gas feed conduit (2) in dust-laden gas filters is disclosed. The reverse-flow device is formed as a two-stage injector. In dust-laden gas filters which are provided with such a reverse-flow device, each individual injector (1) is connected in a manner which is as gas-tight as possible to the pressure gas feed conduit (2). In order to create a rapidly and easily mountable pressure gas connection for injectors (1) which does not require any additional seals, the connecting sockets (1a) of the injectors (1) of the first stage are inserted over the pressure-gas feed conduit (2) alternating with spacer sleeves (3). A stationary sleeve (4) is inserted over one end of the pressure gas feed conduit (2) and a movable end sleeve (5) is inserted over the other end of the pressure gas feed conduit (2). The movable end sleeve protrudes beyond the pressure gas feed conduit (2) in axial direction and is provided with a clamping device (6) which presses the connecting sockets (1a) and the spacer sleeves (3) in axial direction against the stationary sleeve (4).

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 8
Claim 1
Independent Claim
229 words
In a filter apparatus comprising a housing having a gas inlet and a gas outlet and having therein a plurality of filter elements for cleaning gas flowing therethrough and a two-stage injector device for reverse-flow purging of the filter elements comprising a plurality of injectors of a first stage and a cooperating plurality of injectors of a second stage positioned and arranged to direct a cleaning gas into said filter elements, and a pressure gas connection to a conduit which feeds a pressure gas to the injectors of the first stage, the improvement in the pressure gas connection wherein said conduit is a single continuous conduit, said plurality of injectors of said first stage include connecting sockets, respectively, spacer sleeves and said connecting sockets are disposed on said conduit in alternating arrangement, said conduit communicates with said plurality of injectors of said first stage via said connecting sockets, an end sleeve is disposed over a free end of said conduit, clamping means for clamping said end sleeve to said free end and holding fast said injectors of said first stage with said connecting sockets and said sleeves, for pressure-tightly securing said connecting sockets and said sleeves with respect to each other and closing off said end sleeve such that pressure gas in said conduit only communicates with said plurality of injectors of said first stage via said connecting sockets.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim

Claim 3
Dependent Claim
39 words
The filter apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said spacer sleeves are arranged between adjacent two of said injectors of the first stage and have an inside diameter which is somewhat larger than an outside diameter of said conduit.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
68 words
The filter apparatus according to claim 1 or 2, wherein a stationary sleeve is mounted on said conduit adjacent one end thereof, said end sleeve comprises a movable end sleeve extending beyond said free end of said conduit, said clamping means is operatively connected with said movable end sleeve so as to pressure-tightly press said connecting sockets and said sleeves in an axial direction against said stationary sleeve.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
87 words
The filter apparatus according to claim 3, wherein said clamping means is formed as a screw having a threaded part and a head, a plug is positioned in said free end of said conduit, said clamping means includes a holding plate resting against a free end of said movable end sleeve, said holding plate comprising means for said closing off of said end sleeve, said threaded part of said screw is screwed into said plug and said head of said screw is clamped against said holding plate.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
39 words
The filter apparatus according to claim 3, wherein said stationary sleeve, said connecting sockets, said spacer sleeves, and said movable end sleeve each have ends which are conically formed and complementarily engage with each other in said alternating arrangement.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
36 words
The filter apparatus according to claim 5, wherein each of said connecting sockets is formed with a hole, said conduit is formed with a plurality of holes aligned with said holes of said connecting sockets, respectively.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
21 words
The filter apparatus according to claim 1, wherein said clamping means clamps said connecting sockets and said sleeves against each other.
