Connection Arrangement for Fixing a Lid of an Air Filter Device of a Motor Vehicle to a Filter Housing and to a Filter Element and an Associated Filter Element

A connection arrangement that fixes a lid (42) to a filter housing (12) of an air filter device of a motor vehicle and to a filter element (10) via which an insertion opening (44) in the filter housing (12) for the filter element (10) is closeable with the lid (42), comprising:

• a holding element (32) on the filter element (10);
• and
• a locking element (48) on the lid (42);
• wherein the holding element (32) is fixable by a contact surface for contacting the locking element (48) protruding from the lid (42) in a recess of the filter housing (12);
• wherein the holding element (32) has a latching geometry (56) with which the holding element (32) is latchable in the recess of the filter housing (12) formed as a latching niche (64), whereby the filter element (10) is fixable in a latching position to the filter housing (12);
• wherein the locking element (48) is formed as a shaft (38) having a bolt rod (40) projecting from a first end of the shaft (38) and having a handle part (50) on a second end of the shaft (38) for rotating the locking element (48);
• wherein the shaft (38) is guided through the lid (42) such that the lid (42) and the filter element (10) in a latching position are, by the bolt rod (40) and the contact surface formed as a ramp (52) on the holding element (32), which engage with one another by turning the locking element (48), spannable against each other.
