FILTER ELEMENT HAVING SUPPORTING ELEMENTS, FILTER HAVING A FILTER ELEMENT, AND FILTER HOUSING OF A FILTER

摘要

What is described is a filter element (10), in particular a flat filter element, for installing in a filter housing (48) of a filter for fluid, in particular of an air filter, in particular of an internal combustion engine, in particular of a motor vehicle, a filter having a filter element (10), and a filter housing of a filter. The filter element (10) comprises an open filter bellows (16) preferably comprising a filter medium (18) folded in a zigzag shape. The filter bellows (16) has an inflow side (28) defined by inflow-side folded edges (20) and an outflow side (30) defined by outflow-side folded edges (20) for the fluid to be filtered. The filter element (10) has at least one filter element-holding device (34) for holding the filter element (10) in the filter housing, which device is connected directly or indirectly to the filter bellows (16). The filter element (10) has, separately from the at least one filter element-holding device (34), at least one supporting element (146) for supporting the filter element (10) in the filter housing
