Filter tube holding grommet for filtration system

A dust filtering and collection system for use in a multiple loading/unloading vehicle, such as a tank trailer, and said system for use for removing granular material by way of an air conveying source to and from a storage chamber, or the like, comprising:

• a dust filtering housing, said housing having an upper end and a lower end, an air inlet provided approximate the lower end of the housing, and an air outlet provided approximate the upper end of said housing;
• a dust filtering system suspended within said filter housing, a transverse plate provided in the upper segment of said housing, at least one filtration tube suspended from the transverse plate and extending partially downwardly into the filter housing, a grommet provided for extending through said transverse plate and provided for holding the filtration tube suspended from the said transverse plate, said transverse plate having an aperture provided therethrough, said grommet provided for locating through said transverse plate aperture, said grommet having an upper flange for engaging the upper surface of the transverse plate, and said grommet having a lower detent for engaging the under surface of said transverse plate, said grommet having a channel provided through it from its upper end to its lower end, and said filtration tube extending into said grommet aperture, and secured therein, thereby providing structural support for the filtration tube for the filtering of the incoming air to remove its dust particles and other debris as said air passes through the filtration housing of said system.
