RING FILTER
A ring filter with a frame and a filter fabric. The frame has two axially spaced apart ring-shaped frame elements which are connected to one another by transverse struts. Between the frame elements and the transverse struts the filter fabric is arranged, and frame has two open ends which are located opposite each other in the circumferential direction.
1 . A ring filter, comprising:
a frame; and a filter fabric,
wherein the frame has two axially spaced apart ring-shaped frame elements, a first frame element and a second frame element, which are connected to each other by means of transverse struts,
wherein the filter fabric is arranged between the frame elements and the transverse struts,
wherein the frame has two open ends which are located opposite each other in a circumferential direction,
wherein the first frame element has at least at two points which are spaced apart from each other in the circumferential direction, a minimum radial thickness,
wherein at the points the radial thicknesses are the same and
wherein the second frame element is constructed identical to the first frame element.
2 . The ring filter according to claim 1 , wherein the points having a minimum thickness define a circular arch or several arches spaced apart in the circumferential direction of the frame elements.
3 . The ring filter according to claim 1 , wherein the points of minimum radial thickness are spaced apart from the transverse struts in the circumferential direction of the frame elements.
4 . The ring filter according to claim 1 , wherein the points of minimum radial thickness are constructed exclusively in an area of the transverse struts, and wherein a thickness of the transverse struts is adapted to a thickness of the frame elements.
