| 发明名称 | Filter apparatus with torque limiting mechanism | ||
| 摘要 | A filter apparatus is described that has a torque limiting device, which may be a clutch mechanism, and which provides a protective function for a filter, so as to protect a filter from being over tightened and to thereby prevent damage to filter components. The clutch mechanism can also eliminate or reduce the need for torque measurement of certain filter components. The clutch mechanism can be located on one of the fluid filter, a filter head which engages the fluid filter, or a combination of both the fluid filter and the filter head. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A filter apparatus comprising: a filter head, the filter head includes a connective portion engageable with a fluid filter; and a torque limiting device disposed on the filter head, the torque limiting device includes a clutch mechanism that limits tightening of a fluid filter to the connective portion of the filter head, the clutch mechanism configured to provide one-way ratcheting that allows slippage in a tightening direction to limit the tightening of the fluid filter to the filter head. | ||
