A LIQUID FILTER king SE'~F--RETAINING
FETTERING BAGS
Sonora of the Invention This inYen~ion relates to a further improvement in the construction of liquid filters Usual replaceable self-retain-in filter elements.
Al Filter elements, such as bags, are normally seated in ¦ openings into the interior of the filter housing located within the liquid flow path through the filter. The bag is held in place by various methods, such as an overlying plate or cover us shown in U. S, Patents 3,503,516, 4,022,693;
and 4,259,188; or by a bag and housing engagement as shown in U. S. Patents 4,133,769 and 4,204,966.
he invention described herein calls for the formation of an upwardly angled V-shaped channel about the bag-receiving opening in the filter housing. The bag itself includes an I:` annulax-shaped retaining ring part which defines the opening into the Buick This ring part has a flexible down-turn lip which, when the bag is fitted into a housing bag receiving opening, interlocks with the channel about the housing opening to secure the hag in place within the housing. My cover, extra plate or other filter component is necessary to secure the filtering bags.
This means of securing; the filtering bags in place within the filter is expedient and efficient. It, also, normally allows the filter to be morn economically constructed than those jilters which use the cover to retain the bags. queue seal formed between the hag lip and housing opening channel is secure, thereby making it unnecessary to provide a separate seal between the housing end any supporting busiest used with the jag.
I
Accordingly, it is an object of this invention to provide a liquid filter it which the filtering back is secured within the filter housing by a precise snap-fit enc3agement.
Another object ox this invention is to provide a filter of efficient and economical construction.
Other objects of this invention will become apparent upon a reading of the description set forth below.

Description of the Prowar embodiments In Figs. 1-4, a multiple element filter assembly 10 is shown. AssenLbly 10 includes a housing 11 end a cover 16.
HousincJ 11 has a sip wall 12, a bottom wall 13, an upper wall 14, an inlet port 18, and an outlet port 20. Upper wall 14 has a plurality of openings 22 located in it.
Each opening 22 is defined by a marginal section havlrlg an upper channel part 24 and a lower shoulder part I Upper wall 14 also includes a central liquid inlet opening 28 to provide for fluid commt~ication between inlet port 18 ctnd openings 22. Each upper wall opening channel part 24 is of an irregular Shape having a horizontal base 25 end an , 30 upwardly and inwardly tapered snide 7.7.
~L8~63~
A filtering bag 30 it i~se~kecl into each opening 22 and is supported therein by a rigid basket 32. jag 30 includes flexibly, normally cloth like likelihood previous Jack part 31 clod a shape-retallllng liquid impervious ring park 36 which terminates in an annular flexible but shape-retaining lip 38.
Basket 32, except for upper flange 33, is constructed of a previous material such as screen and serves to support bag 30 at its sack part 31.
A basket 32 is fitted into each housing opening 22 with .10 its flange 33 resting upon shoulder part 26 of the opening A bag 30 is then inserted into each basket 32 with its ring part lip 38 being flexed or snap-fitted into the opening channel part 24, us seen in FicJ. 4. The fit of lip 38 in its receiving channel part 24 is complemental with the end edge 39 of the lip resting upon hose 25 and the outer side wall of the lip being biased by the lip flexor against Jo side I of the channel part to provide a sure liquid seal between the lip and channel part independently of cover 16.
In some forms of the filter, baskets 32 may not be needed with only filtering bags 30 being used.
A second embodiment of this invention is shown in Fig. 5 as being incorporated into a single element filter 50. Filter 50 includes a housing 52 and a cover 59, and has an inlet 56 and an outlet 58. A rigid basket 32 is supported by housing 52 and a filtering bag 30 fits within the basket The flexible shape-retaining lip 38 of bag 30 is snap-fitted into housing channel park 24 a described in the filter assembly 10 of Figs. 1-4 independently of cover 59.
It it to be understood that the invention its not to ye limited to the preceding description, hut may be amended within the scope of the appended claims I
SUPPLEMENTARY DISCLS)5URE
Figure PA is an enlarged view, similar to figure 4, but showing the filter bag held in an alternative manner.
Like reference numerals relate to like elements in figures 4 and PA and it may be seen that in the latter, the lip 38 is not entirely complemental with the annular channel 24, the lip abutting the side of the channel only at the neck of the channel aye and only the corner aye of the lip edge 39 abutting the base 25 of the channel. The contact between the lip and the upper wall 14 by means of the contact between the lip and the channel side and base in the manner of figure PA
still provides a sure liquid seal which is independent of cover 16.
