<p>1,066,546. Filtering apparatus. UNION TANK CAR CO. May 11, 1964 [May 21, 1963], No. 19576/64. Headings B1D and BIT. In a filter housing (Fig. 1, not shown) which is divided by a tube plate 26 into an inlet space (22) and a filtrate space (24), a plurality of hollow filter elements 30 being supported in the inlet space, the lower end of each element seals on a short tubular seat 40, extending through plate 26 and a fastening means 52 extends through the element with its lower end engaging the lower edge of tube 40 and its upper end carrying a spring 58 which urges the element downwards. In Figs. 1-5 the fastening means comprises a sinuous rod with a hook 52c to engage tube 40. In Figs. 6-8 (not shown), the fastening means comprises a V sectioned channel (120b) which engages the interior of the element and a lower cross piece (124) which is pushed axially through an opening in the lower end of the tubular seat and rotated to hold the element in place. The fastening means include upper sealing rings 62, compressed by the springs, and spacing flanges 60. Flanges 60 of adjacent elements engage (Fig. 2, not shown) and additional spacing bars (100, 104) may connect the upper ends of means 52. The filter housing comprises a vent (36) and a manhole 34. Prior to fitting an element on a tube 40, as illustrated in Fig. 5, a positioning means 66 is fitted into the lower end of the element, means 66 being compressible by virtue of an axial slot and serving to locate within tube 40 to prevent lateral movement of the element. Filter element 30 may be of nylon thread, wound to form a multi-layer element.</p> |
