Abstract:
1. A liquid filter cartridge assembly, the assembly comprising: an elongated tubular filter body defined by a first body edge, a second body edge, an exterior surface spanning between the first body edge and the second body edge, and an interior surface spanning between the first body edge and the second body edge, said inner surface defining a interior void passing the elongated tubular filter body; a first filter end cap having a first filter orifice, the first filter end cap designed to removably engage with the elongated tubular filter body proximate the first body edge; an end wall having a second filter orifice, the end wall continuous about the second body edge; a tubular core and inner support member spanning between the first filter orifice and the second filter orifice; a first plurality of central transfer conduits located at a first end of the tubular core and inner support member; a second plurality of central transfer conduits located at an opposite end of the tubular core and inner support member; a flow diversion member located within an interior void of the tubular core and inner support member and between the first plurality of central transfer conduits and the second plurality of central transfer conduits; at least one filtration disc defined by an outer peripheral edge and having a centrally located filtration disc assembly aperture, wherein the outer peripheral edge of each of the at least one filtration disc is of a size and shape of the interior void defined by the inner surface of the elongated tubular filter body and the centrally located filtration disc assembly aperture is of a size and shape defined by a cross section of an exterior surface of the tubular core and inner support member; at least two outer filter support members, each outer filter support member having an outer diameter for placement and retention within the interior void of the elongated tubular filter body and an inner diameter sized to engage with the filtration disc perimeter; at least two central filter support members, each central filter support member having an inner diameter for placement onto an exterior of the tubular core and inner support member and an outer diameter sized to engage with the filtration disc proximate the filtration disc assembly aperture; wherein the at least two outer filter support members and the at least two central filter support members are detached from one another, wherein the tubular core and inner support member is inserted through the centrally located filtration disc assembly aperture, and outer filter support members and central filter support members are placed on each side of and sandwiching the filtration disc therebetween.
