COMB FOR INLET BARRIER FILTER SYSTEM

摘要

An inlet barrier filter system for mounting on an aircraft to filter air prior to intake into an engine of the aircraft includes a frame having at least two curved frame members defining an opening. A filter element has a curved inward face and is received in the opening of the frame. The filter element includes filter media having pleats. A comb is attached to the frame and includes spaced-apart teeth that support the pleats. The comb is curved to generally conform to the curved inward face of the filter element.
