Abstract
Abstract A method for manufacturing filter elements, in which sealant does not get onto the rolling claw and rolling of the roll filter paper is made easy. A long roll filter paper having laterally oriented filter parts for filtering, the filter parts being open on the inflow side of the roll filter paper and closed on the outflow side of the roll filter paper, is rolled. During rolling, a sealant is applied to the surface of the roll filter paper in a narrow longitudinal strip, in such a way that the sealant does not make contact with the rolling claw. The roll-start end of the roll filter paper is gripped with the rolling claw during rolling. The rolling claw is made up of 2 or 4 rolling bars having the shape of the parts produced when a cylinder is split into two halves along its axis.

Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 6
Claim 1
Independent Claim
160 words
A manufacturing method for manufacturing a filter element by rolling a roll filter paper having a latitudinally oriented filter part for filtering, one end of said filter part being open and the other end being sealed, said manufacturing method comprising the steps of: gripping both sides of said roll filter paper part with a rolling claw near the roll-start end in such a way that a central portion of predetermined size is not gripped by said rolling claw; applying a sealant in a narrow longitudinal strip starting from said ungripped portion near said roll-start end of said roll filter paper, and, after applying said sealant in the longitudinal direction over a predetermined length, applying said sealant in a narrow longitudinal strip along the side of said roll filter paper corresponding to said open end of said filter part; rolling up said roll filter paper using said rolling claw; and after rolling up said roll filter paper, removing said rolling claw.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
160 words
A manufacturing method for manufacturing a filter element by rolling a roll filter paper having a latitudinally oriented filter part for filtering, one end of said filter part being open and the other end being sealed, said manufacturing method comprising the steps of: gripping both sides of said roll filter paper part with a rolling claw near the roll-start end in such a way that a central portion of predetermined size is not gripped by said rolling claw; applying a sealant in a narrow longitudinal strip starting from said ungripped portion near said roll-start end of said roll filter paper, and, after applying said sealant in the longitudinal direction over a predetermined length, applying said sealant in a narrow longitudinal strip along the side of said roll filter paper corresponding to said open end of said filter part; rolling up said roll filter paper using said rolling claw; and after rolling up said roll filter paper, removing said rolling claw.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
21 words
A method for manufacturing a filter element according to claim 1, in which said sealant is applied in a continuous process.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
46 words
A method for manufacturing a filter element according to claim 1, in which said filter part of said roll filter paper comprises multiple filter parts formed by a corrugated sheet and a flat sheet, and said multiple filter parts are separate and independent of each other.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
61 words
A method for manufacturing a filter element according to claim 1, in which said filter part of said roll filter paper comprises multiple filter parts formed by a corrugated sheet and a flat sheet, and an unseparated region is provided between adjacent multiple filter parts, said unseparated regions connecting each multiple filter part to the multiple filter parts adjacent to it.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
70 words
A method for manufacturing a filter element according to claim 1, in which multiple passages are formed in the filter element that is manufactured, said passages including first passages open at one end and closed at the other end and second passages, adjacent to said first passages, closed at the end at which the first passages are open and open at the end at which the first passages are closed.
