A filter assembly for a filter unit is described. It consists of a first housing member 16 with a premoulded thermoplastic skirt (24) on the periphery. A second housing member (14) is axially positioned opposite the first housing member and has a peripheral edge (22) which is bonded to the skirt of the first housing member (16). A porous filter element (12) is sandwiched between the first and second housing members, the edge (28) of the filter element (12) being infused into the skirt (24) to form a substantially continuous leakproof matrix. A thermoplastic overmould (18) is disposed over the periphery of the housing members to seal the periphery of the housing members. <IMAGE> |
