1. A filter system comprising:
a housing with a housing wall and at least one cover arranged on a first axial end of the housing; an inlet arranged on the housing and adapted to feed a liquid to be filtered into the housing; an outlet arranged on the housing and adapted to discharge the liquid that has been filtered from the housing; at least one filter element arranged between the inlet and the outlet and separating a raw side of the filter system from a clean side of the filter system; a gasket arranged between a sealing surface of the housing wall and a sealing surface of the cover; wherein the gasket is positionally secured in a longitudinal direction of the housing by a plurality of retaining elements; wherein the at least one cover includes
an axially projecting annular collar having a radially outwardly oriented outer surface forming a portion of a radially outer surface of the cover;wherein the radially outwardly oriented outer surface of the annular collar forms the sealing surface of the cover; wherein the sealing surface of the housing is arranged on a radially interior surface of the housing wall at the first axial end of the housing; wherein the plurality of retaining elements are on and projects outwardly from the radially outwardly oriented outer surface of the annular collar, contacting a first axial side of the gasket, holding the gasket in position on the annular collar; a plurality of axially elongated radially inwardly projecting ribs formed on the radially interior surface of the housing wall, the axially elongated ribs spaced apart in a circumferential direction on the radially interior surface of the housing wall; a plurality of circumferentially spaced apart axial grooves formed on the radially interior surface of the housing wall, the plurality of circumferentially spaced apart axial grooves formed by circumferential spacing between adjacent ones of the plurality of axially elongated radially inwardly projecting ribs; wherein respective ones of the plurality of retaining elements engage into and anti-rotation lock into respective ones of the plurality of axially extending grooves in an axial direction, the engagement of the respective ones plurality of retaining elements engage into the respective one of the plurality of axially extending grooves preventing rotation of the cover to the housing while maintaining angular alignment of the cover to the housing during axial assembly of the cover onto the housing. |
