Abstract
Abstract A filter assembly comprises a casing, a semiflexible, perforated core and a filter cloth. The casing is provided with a liquid inlet and a liquid outlet and the core is arranged within the casing and between the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet so that liquid which passes from the inlet to the outlet must pass through the core at least once. The filter cloth covers the surfaces of the core so that liquid which passes from the inlet to the outlet must pass through the filter cloth at least once. In a first embodiment, the core includes an outer cylindrical portion, an inner cylindrical portion, an annular intermediate portion extending between the outer cylindrical portion and the inner cylindrical portion, and a plurality of fin portions extending radially inward from the outer cylindrical portion toward the inner cylindrical portion. In a second embodiment, the core includes a cylindrical portion and a plurality of fin portions extending radially outward from the cylindrical portion.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
143 words
A filter assembly, comprising: (a) a casing provided with a liquid inlet and a liquid outlet; (b) a semiflexible, perforated core arranged within the casing and between the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet so that liquid which passes from the inlet to the outlet must pass through the core at least once, said core including a perforated outer cylindrical wall, a perforated inner cylindrical wall, a perforated annular bottom wall connected with and extending between the lower ends of the outer cylindrical wall and the inner cylindrical wall, and a plurality of perforated fin portions connected with and extending radially inward from the outer cylindrical wall toward the inner cylindrical wall; and (c) a filter cloth covering the surfaces of said core so that liquid which passes from the inlet to the outlet must pass through the filter cloth at least once.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
143 words
A filter assembly, comprising: (a) a casing provided with a liquid inlet and a liquid outlet; (b) a semiflexible, perforated core arranged within the casing and between the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet so that liquid which passes from the inlet to the outlet must pass through the core at least once, said core including a perforated outer cylindrical wall, a perforated inner cylindrical wall, a perforated annular bottom wall connected with and extending between the lower ends of the outer cylindrical wall and the inner cylindrical wall, and a plurality of perforated fin portions connected with and extending radially inward from the outer cylindrical wall toward the inner cylindrical wall; and (c) a filter cloth covering the surfaces of said core so that liquid which passes from the inlet to the outlet must pass through the filter cloth at least once.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
34 words
A filter assembly as defined in claim 1, wherein the core further includes a plurality of fin portions connected with and extending radially outward from the inner cylindrical wall toward the outer cylindrical wall.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
47 words
A filter assembly as defined by claim 1, wherein the length of each of said fin portions in the radial direction is greater than the distance in the radial direction from the cylindrical portion to the casing whereby the fin portions extend outwardly in a curved configuration.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
36 words
A filter assembly as defined by claim 1, wherein a perforated tubular member is arranged inside the inner cylindrical wall of the core, one end of which tubular member is in communication with the liquid outlet.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
94 words
A filter assembly as defined by claim 4, wherein the casing includes a second liquid outlet, the core is arranged between the liquid inlet and the second liquid outlet so that liquid which passes from the inlet to the second outlet must pass through the core at least once, the filter cloth covers the surfaces of the core so that liquid which passes from the inlet to the second outlet must pass through the filter cloth at least once, and the other end of the tubular member is in communication with the second outlet.
