Air cleaner in particular of an internal combustion engine

摘要

An air cleaner of an internal combustion engine has a housing with a slide-in opening and receives a slide-in filter element through this opening. A cover element closes off the slide-in opening. The cover element has a snap element for fixing the cover element at the housing. The cover element has a contact face defining a first main plane. A sealing is disposed between the filter element and the housing and seals between filter element and housing. A sealing face provided at the housing interacts with the sealing and defines a second main plane. The housing has a contact face abutting the contact face of the cover element in the closing state of the cover element. An angle between the second main plane of the sealing face of the housing and the first main plane of the contact face of the cover element is different from 90°.
