Abstract
Abstract A filter comprising a filter case the interior of which is divided by a separator into upper and lower filtration chambers, a compact filter material of a cylindrical shape disposed in said upper filtration chamber so as to define on both outer and inner sides thereof a non-purification chamber communicating with upper suction ports formed at the upper part of said filter case and a purification chamber communicating with a drain pipe disposed on the upper surface of said filter case and having a large capacity, and a coarse filter material housed in said lower filtration chamber and serving also as a weight, said lower filtration chamber communicating with said purification chamber through passage ports formed in said separator while communicating with lower suction ports formed in a bottom surface of said filter case, said purification chamber communicating with an air feed port connected to an air pump.

Claim 1
Independent Claim
148 words
A filter comprising a filter case the interior of which is divided by a separator into upper and lower filtration chambers, a compact filter material of a cylindrical shape disposed in said upper filtration chamber so as to define on both outer and inner sides thereof a non-purification chamber communicating with upper suction ports formed at the upper part of said filter case and a purification chamber communicating with a drain pipe disposed on the upper surface of said filter case and having a large capacity, and a coarse filter material housed in said lower filtration chamber and serving also as a weight, said lower filtration chamber communicating with said purification chamber through passage ports formed in said separator while communicating with lower suction ports formed in a bottom surface of said filter case, said purification chamber communicating with an air feed port connected to an air pump.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
148 words
A filter comprising a filter case the interior of which is divided by a separator into upper and lower filtration chambers, a compact filter material of a cylindrical shape disposed in said upper filtration chamber so as to define on both outer and inner sides thereof a non-purification chamber communicating with upper suction ports formed at the upper part of said filter case and a purification chamber communicating with a drain pipe disposed on the upper surface of said filter case and having a large capacity, and a coarse filter material housed in said lower filtration chamber and serving also as a weight, said lower filtration chamber communicating with said purification chamber through passage ports formed in said separator while communicating with lower suction ports formed in a bottom surface of said filter case, said purification chamber communicating with an air feed port connected to an air pump.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
67 words
A filter as defined in claim 1 wherein said cylindrical compact filter material has a corrugated peripheral wall bent in the radial direction, said corrugated peripheral wall consisting of long wave portions which extend radially in the circumferentially spaced manner and have a large wave height, and short wave portions of a short wave height formed between adjacent long wave portions continuously with said long wave portions.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
150 words
A filter as defined in claim 1 wherein said cylindrical compact filter material is fitted to a frame member which is supported in said filter case rotatably around the axis of the case, a pure fluid chamber and a discharge chamber are disposed on the outside surface of said filter case so as to extend over the entire axial length of said compact filter material, said pure fluid chamber being separated from said non-purification chamber by a separator, said discharge chamber taking a position adjacent to said pure fluid chamber with an offset phase therebetween in the circumferential direction of said cylindrical compact filter material and communicating with said non-purification chamber, said separator being provided with a plurality of nozzles opening towards one side of a radial plane of said compact filter material, on which the nozzles are located, as offset in the circumferential direction of said compact filter material.
