Abstract

A filter assembly that includes a filter housing with a housing interlocking feature, a filter cover with a filter cover interlocking feature, and a filter element with a filter element interlocking feature is disclosed. The filter element is positionable within the filter housing, and the filter cover is attachable to a top portion of at least one of the filter element and the filter housing. The housing interlocking feature, the filter cover interlocking feature, and the filter element interlocking feature are interlockable with each other and extend in a nonplanar configuration along at least one side of the filter element when the filter housing, the filter cover, and the filter element are assembled together.

Claims (29)

1 . A filter assembly comprising:

a filter housing having a housing interlocking feature;

a filter element having a filter seal member; and

a filter cover coupled to the filter housing, the filter cover comprising:

a cover interlocking feature extending along a lower edge or an outer perimeter of the filter cover such that the cover interlocking feature interlocks with each of the filter seal member and the housing interlocking feature to secure the filter assembly together; and

a lip extending along at least a first portion of a top portion of the filter cover, the lip extending substantially perpendicularly to the top portion and overlapping a side surface of the filter seal member,

wherein the top portion of the filter cover overlaps a top surface of the filter seal member along the first portion of the top portion of the filter cover.

2 . The filter assembly of claim 1 , wherein the filter seal member comprises a filter element interlocking feature that interlocks with the housing interlocking feature, the cover interlocking feature, or both of the housing interlocking feature and the cover interlocking feature.

3 . The filter assembly of claim 1 , wherein the filter element includes a filter element interlocking feature that is a protruding portion of the filter seal member defined by a first filter element interlocking feature side portion, a second filter element interlocking feature side portion, and a filter element interlocking feature central portion that extends between the first filter element interlocking feature side portion and the second filter element interlocking feature side portion.

4 . The filter assembly of claim 3 , wherein the first filter element interlocking feature side portion, the second filter element interlocking feature side portion, and the filter element interlocking feature central portion fit within a housing cavity defined by the housing interlocking feature.

5 . The filter assembly of claim 3 , wherein the first filter element interlocking feature side portion, the second filter element interlocking feature side portion, and the filter element interlocking feature central portion define a filter element cavity.

6 . The filter assembly of claim 3 , wherein the first filter element interlocking feature side portion and the second filter element interlocking feature side portion are not parallel to each other and converge to the filter element interlocking feature central portion.

7 . The filter assembly of claim 1 , wherein the filter cover comprises one or more attachment elements along a perimeter of the filter cover, the one or more attachment elements configured to attach the filter cover to the filter housing.

8 . A filter assembly comprising:

a filter housing having a housing interlocking feature comprising:

a first housing interlocking feature side portion,

a second housing interlocking feature side portion, and

a housing interlocking feature central portion that extends between the first housing interlocking feature side portion and the second housing interlocking feature side portion,

wherein the first housing interlocking feature side portion, the second housing interlocking feature side portion, and the housing interlocking feature central portion cooperate to define a filter housing cavity within a side wall of the filter housing;

a filter element having a filter seal member; and

a filter cover coupled to the filter housing, the filter cover comprising:

a cover interlocking feature extending along a lower edge or an outer perimeter of the filter cover such that the cover interlocking feature interlocks with each of the filter seal member and the housing interlocking feature to secure the filter assembly together.

9 . The filter assembly of claim 8 , wherein the filter seal member comprises a filter element interlocking feature that interlocks with the housing interlocking feature, the cover interlocking feature, or both of the housing interlocking feature and the cover interlocking feature.

10 . The filter assembly of claim 8 , wherein the filter element includes a filter element interlocking feature that is a protruding portion of the filter seal member defined by a first filter element interlocking feature side portion, a second filter element interlocking feature side portion, and a filter element interlocking feature central portion that extends between the first filter element interlocking feature side portion and the second filter element interlocking feature side portion.

11 . The filter assembly of claim 10 , wherein the first filter element interlocking feature side portion, the second filter element interlocking feature side portion, and the filter element interlocking feature central portion fit within the filter housing cavity defined in the side wall of the filter housing by the housing interlocking feature.

12 . The filter assembly of claim 10 , wherein the first filter element interlocking feature side portion, the second filter element interlocking feature side portion, and the filter element interlocking feature central portion define a filter element cavity.

13 . The filter assembly of claim 10 , wherein the first filter element interlocking feature side portion and the second filter element interlocking feature side portion are not parallel to each other and converge to the filter element interlocking feature central portion.

14 . The filter assembly of claim 8 , wherein the filter cover comprises one or more attachment elements along a perimeter of the filter cover, the one or more attachment elements configured to attach the filter cover to the filter housing.

15 . The filter assembly of claim 8 , wherein the first housing interlocking feature side portion and the second housing interlocking feature side portion are not parallel to each other and converge to the housing interlocking feature central portion.
