Air cleaner with suspended cartridge

An air cleaner comprising, in combination:

• a support having a first concave conical surface, compression means extending along the longitudinal axis of said surface away from the apex of said surface and outlet means for releasing filtered air from said cleaner;
• a hollow inner filter surrounding the longitudinal axis of said support, said inner filter including a first end cap, with a rim defining a first convex conical surface having the same apex angle as said first concave surface and positioned adjacent said first concave surface, and a second end cap which is in axial engagement by said compression means;
• and
• a hollow outer filter positioned substantially around said inner filter, said outer filter including a first end cap with a resilient lip extending inwardly so as to be sealingly received between said conical surfaces due to said compression means engaging said second end cap and air inlet means for introducing unfiltered air flow into said cleaner.
