Abstract
An oil-filter assembly has an upwardly open can generally centered on an upright axis and having at an upper rim a mounting ring having in turn an axially upwardly directed annular seal surface and, offset axially downward therefrom, an annular upwardly directed annular shoulder surface. A filter insert of filter material in the can has an annular outwardly directed flange sitting on the shoulder surface and an upper end wall. A cover fittable over the ring has a lower surface engageable with the seal surface of the ring and with the end wall of the filter insert. Fasteners press the cover down on the ring and filter insert and retaining the cover in place on the ring.

An oil-filter assembly comprising
- an upwardly open can generally centered on an upright axis and having at an upper rim a mounting ring formed with a throughgoing passage and having an axially upwardly directed annular seal surface and an annular upwardly directed annular shoulder surface offset axially downward from the upwardly directed annular seal surface;
- a filter insert of filter material in the can and having an annular outwardly directed flange sitting on the shoulder surface and an upper end wall;
- a cover fittable over the ring and having a lower surface engageable with the seal surface of the ring and with the upper end wall of the filter insert;
- means including fasteners for pressing the cover down on the ring and filter insert and retaining the cover in place on the ring;
- a pressure gauge mounted on the ring and connected to the passage;
- and
- a pressure switch mounted on the ring and connected to the passage.
An oil-filter assembly comprising
- an upwardly open can generally centered on an upright axis and having at an upper rim a mounting ring having an axially upwardly directed annular seal surface and, offset axially downward therefrom, an annular upwardly directed annular shoulder surface;
- a filter insert of filter material in the can and having
- an annular outwardly directed flange sitting on the shoulder surface and an upper end wall,
- a cylindrical and metallic outer side wall centered on the axis,
- a substantially closed bottom wall downwardly closing the outer side wall, the upper end wall projecting radially inward from the side wall, and
- a filling of filter material carried on the side wall between the upper end wall and bottom wall, the flange projecting radially from the side wall and axially spaced from the upper end wall;
- a cover fittable over the ring and having a lower surface engageable with the seal surface of the ring and with the upper end wall of the filter insert;
- means including fasteners for pressing the cover down on the ring and filter insert and retaining the cover in place on the ring;
- and
- at least one bale wire secured to the insert adjacent the upper end wall and movable elastically between a compressed position lying wholly below the upper end wall and an uncompressed position projecting upward past the upper end wall.
An oil-filter assembly comprising
- an upwardly open can generally centered on an upright axis and having at an upper rim a mounting ring having an axially upwardly directed annular seal surface and, offset axially downward therefrom and radially offset inward therefrom, an annular upwardly directed annular shoulder surface, the can being laterally closed and fluid tight below the seal surface;
- a filter insert of filter material in the can having
- a generally planar and annular upper end wall and
- an annular flange extending radially outward immediately below the upper end wall and sitting on the shoulder surface;
- a cover fittable over the ring and having a lower surface engageable with the seal surface of the ring and with the upper end wall of the filter insert;
- and
- means including fasteners for pressing the cover down on the ring and filter insert, for pressing the flange down on the shoulder surface, and for retaining the cover in place on the ring.
