Abstract
A candle filter includes an end portion, elongate interior structure extending from the end portions and defining a space for a fluid, and a membrane fabric for filtering a substance from the fluid as the fluid passes through the membrane fabric and into the space defined by the interior structure. The membrane fabric extends around the interior structure and to the first end portion. The membrane fabric includes at least one extending tab segment for manipulating to move the membrane fabric relative to the elongate interior structure. An associated method provides an operational candle filter.

A candle filter including:
- an end portion;
- elongate interior structure extending from the end portions and defining a space for a fluid;
- and
- a membrane fabric for filtering a substance from the fluid as the fluid passes through the membrane fabric and into the space defined by the interior structure, the membrane fabric extending around the interior structure and to the first end portion;
- the membrane fabric including at least one extending tab segment for manipulating to move the membrane fabric relative to the elongate interior structure.
A method of providing an operational candle filter including:
- providing an end portion;
- providing an elongate interior structure extending from the end portion and defining a space for a fluid;
- providing a membrane fabric for filtering a substance from the fluid as the fluid passes through the membrane fabric and into the space defined by the interior structure, the membrane fabric including at least one extending tab segment for manipulating to move the membrane fabric relative to the elongate interior structure and;
- placing the membrane fabric to extend around the interior structure and to extend to the end portion, including manipulating the tab segment of the membrane fabric to move the membrane fabric relative to the elongate interior structure.
A candle filter including:
- an end portion;
- elongate interior structure extending from the end portions and defining a space for a fluid;
- and
- a membrane fabric for filtering a substance from the fluid as the fluid passes through the membrane fabric and into the space defined by the interior structure, the membrane fabric extending around the interior structure and to the first end portion;
- the membrane fabric including at least one extending means for manipulating to move the membrane fabric relative to the elongate interior structure.
