The bowl includes a bowl flange that includes a second path around at least a portion of the bowl flange. At least one of the first path and the second path include a reduced thickness of material by comparison with surrounding material. The first path is at a different radial distance from a central axis of the filter container than the second path around the extent of both the first path and the second path, such that exerting a force on an opening member creates a tear through the top cap flange and bowl flange, the tear forming between the first path and the second path and allowing opening of the filter container. | 08-13-2009 |
| 20090283467 | TANK - A tank is proposed for appliances which use water, in particular domestic appliances or appliances for preparation of foodstuffs and/or drinks, such as automatic drinks machines, in particular automatic coffee machines, drinking water dispensers, cooking and baking appliances, steam appliances, in particular steam irons, steam cleaners, high-pressure cleaners, air cleaners and conditioners or the like, with a connection being provided on the tank for supplying water from the tank to the appliance and with a filter connection being provided for connection of a filter cartridge in the interior and/or outside the tank, while providing assurance that only the permitted filter type can be used. A tank according to the invention is distinguished by mechanical coding structures on the filter connecting element, in order to preclude the use of a filter cartridge which does not correspond to the tank. | 11-19-2009 |
| 20090321339 | Filtration Module - A purification module is provided comprising a plurality of purification cartridges, a support for the cartridges, a manifold and a bowl. In one embodiment the support for the cartridges has two pitched partial screw threads on opposing surfaces which mate with pitched screw flights on the manifold when the partial screw threads are rotated into the screw flights. The support includes fluid passageways for directing filtered fluid from the filtration cartridges, through the support and into the manifold. In another embodiment, a purification module is provided comprising a purification cartridge, a manifold and a bowl. The purification cartridge has two pitched partial screw threads on opposing surfaces of the cartridge outlet which mate with screw flights on the manifold when the partial screw threads are rotated into the mating screw flights. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20090321340 | FILTER CARTRIDGE FOR USE WITH A FILTER HEAD ASSEMBLY - A filter cartridge for use with a filter head assembly and for filtering a stream of pressurized fluid. The filter cartridge comprises a housing enclosing filtering media, a retainer to releasably engage a receiver in a filter head assembly, and one or more rotationally engagable locks securing the filter cartridge to the filter head assembly upon the rotational engagement of the filter cartridge with the filter head assembly. The housing includes an upper end having therein entry and exit passages to permit fluid to enter the housing, pass through the filtering media and exit the housing. Rotational engagement of the filter cartridge with the filter head assembly causes the retainer and said the receiver to releasably secure the filter cartridge to the filter head assembly and to thereby permit fluid to travel from the filter head assembly through the entry passage and to permit fluid to pass from the exit passage into the filter head assembly. The locks help to resist the rotational disengagement of the filter cartridge from the filter head assembly. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20090321341 | FILTER SYSTEM FOR FLUIDS - A filter system for fluids having a fluid vessel ( | 12-31-2009 |
| 20090321342 | Water tank and seperately formed filter cartridge connection element which can be connected to said water tank - The present invention relates to a water tank and to a filter cartridge connection element which can be connected to said water tank, and also to fixing means for fixing said filter cartridge connection element to the tank. In this case, the fixing means are distinguished in that they are formed such that the filter cartridge connection element can no longer be detached from the tank without being destroyed. | 12-31-2009 |
| 20100065487 | BLOCK TYPE MEMBRANE MODULE FRAME - A block type membrane module frame is disclosed, in which a plurality of membrane modules form one membrane module block, and a plurality of the membrane module blocks are engaged with each other using a frame for thereby manufacturing a block type module frame, so that a contaminated and waste water treatment module can be easily manufactured depending on a capacity of a treatment tank. | 03-18-2010 |
| 20110168620 | Apparatus and Method for Coating Diatomaceous Earth Filter Grids - A device, method and system for delivering measured amounts of diatomaceous earth into a pool filter system. | 07-14-2011 |
| 20120241367 | DIALYSIS SYSTEM HAVING AUTOCONNECTION - A dialysis system includes a dialysis machine including at least one fluid pump, and an autoconnection mechanism including a moveable holder; a plurality of pierceable connectors each held by the moveable holder of the autoconnection mechanism, each of the pierceable connectors in fluid communication with a source of medical fluid; a plurality of spikes each held fixed by the dialysis machine, each of the spikes in fluid communication with a disposable component that is positioned and arranged to operate with the at least one fluid pump; and wherein the moveable holder is moved automatically by the autoconnection mechanism, so that (i) the spikes pierce the pierceable connectors and (ii) the sources of medical fluid can communicate with the disposable component positioned and arranged to operate with the at least one fluid pump. | 09-27-2012 |
| 20130037476 | ASSEMBLY OF A CARTRIDGE AND A CARTRIDGE CLAMP, AND A CARTRIDGE CLAMP FOR USE IN SUCH AN ASSEMBLY - An assembly of a cartridge and a cartridge clamp is disclosed. Said cartridge has a cartridge body bounding a passage extending from a first end face to a second end face of the cartridge body. The cartridge clamp has a first and second clamping jaw comprising a first and second clamping face, respectively. A first and a second conduit are connected to the first and second clamping jaw, respectively. Said cartridge clamp is adapted for clamping said cartridge in-between the first and the second clamping face and for forming a closed circuit composed of the first conduit, the passage and the second conduit during clamping. Each clamping face has a ring-shaped protrusion extending around the end aperture of the respective conduit. The cartridge is completely made of PEEK and each ring-shaped protrusion has a contact end face comprising a flat surface part for contacting a contact surface of the respective end face of the cartridge body, said contact end face having a shape for creating a positive mechanical engagement between the clamping face and the contact surface of the respective end face during clamping of the cartridge between the clamping jaws. | 02-14-2013 |
| 20150021256 | END CAP RETENTION DEVICE - Provided is a filter assembly including at least one end cap and at least one retainer mechanically locked to the end cap in a cavity and defining a region into which the bonding agent can flow to form a mechanical interlock with the retainer. Even if the bonding agent does not fully adhere to the end cap, the filter media will be secured in the end cap via the mechanical interlock of the bonding agent and retainer, thereby preventing end cap separation from the element. | 01-22-2015 |
