REUSABLE SPIN-ON MULTI SYSTEM OIL FILTER AND METHOD OF RECLAIMING USED FILTER CANISTERS

Abstract: The invention is a spin-on type filter with a reclaimed permanent filter casing and permanent filtering media that are washable and reusable. There are three distinct progressive filtering systems that function simultaneously, but separately within one filter housing, one is the full flow filtering at 10 micron capability while the other is in its bypass fine filtering mode at 1 to 3 micron filtering capability. In addition, a safety full flow filter can be activated to filter the return oil while the main full flow medium is fouled. Each system can be implemented with multiple media. The main body of the filter, which comprises the filter head and the media, can be separated easily for servicing from its casing which is designed to attach to the engine. Fine stainless steel cloths are utilized as filtering media which can last the life of an engine. Furthermore, magnets are utilized to trap suspending metal filings in oil flow. The design of the main filter body as such is that any used conventional filter canister can be simply adapted to it or a new filter canister casing can be utilized whichever is the advantage at the time of installation and of in production.

Description: REUSABLE SPLN-ON MULTI SYSTEM OIL FILTER AND METHOD OF RECLAIMING USED FILTER CANISTERS Technical Field The present invention relates to liquid filters and more particularly the present invention relates to disposable filters suitable for use in connection with internal combustion engines. Background Art Environmental concerns regarding soil and atmospheric contamination, caused by automotive related pollutants are becoming increasingly important issues for all governments. New passenger vehicles that come off the production line typically requires an average of 6 to 8 oil and oil filter changes every year for a 12 to 14 year period, typically average driving life for North American passenger vehicles. Commercial vehicles require 12 or more oil and oil filter changes every year. Older vehicles require even more frequent changes. The disposal of used oil filters and waste oils is costly. The waste generated from filters and discarded oil amounts to billions of units daily world wide. Conventional oil filters presently on the market are made for disposal after each usage. The filtering pore size of these filters varies from 20 to 120 microns. Conventional oil filters on the market are equipped with a safety valve but some are not. Of those filters, oil starvation to the engine may occur as they are prone to pressure breaks, which opens the paper fibre element and forces the oil to channel through the filter thus eliminating its filtering efficiency. Under proper operation a conventional filter restricts main oil flow from the filter medium clogging. Oil pressure then forces the built-in safety valve to open to allow unfiltered oil to flow back freely to the engine, preventing oil starvation which will lead to serious engine damage. Clearly, unfiltered oil may then flow through the engine and due to the high pressure of the oil particles on the surface of the fully clogged paper medium are transported through the engine and contact delicate engine parts. In terms of materials ol which typical filters are made, generally metals are employed for the canister and paper fiber tor the filter medium. These materials and the energy used to produce them can be conserved by practising the present invention. Other than the full flow oil filters, auxiliary bypass filtering systems for finer micron filtrations are also commonly found on the market. An auxiliary bypass system works like a dialysis machine, a small amount of fluid is taken, cleaned, and returned into the source for merger with the main source. As an example, approximately 30 minutes to about one hour is one cycle for a full sump tank of 4 litres of motor oil to be cleaned by a bypass system. Some of the full flow filters allow for 16 gallons per minute of oil to be filtered through the engine. The bypass system does not emphasize oil flow but the efficiency in filtering particles in the smallest micron sizes, usually in 1 to 3 microns. Generally speaking the conventional bypass oil filters on the market are bulky units, installed separately trom the existing full flow system. They are extremely labour intensive to install and are much more expensive than the full flow filters. These bypass filters are designed to be disposed of at the time the engine oil is changed. Industrial Applicability The invention has applicability in the filter art and more particularly the invention has distinct applicability in the internal combustion engine lubricant filtration art. Disclosure of the Invention One object of the present invention is to provide an improved oil filter. A further object of one embodiment of the present invention is to provide a reusable oil filter, comprising: a hollow container having opposed ends; a plurality ot spaced apart concentric filtration members removably mounted in concentric relation within the container, each member having a different porosity for filtering; removable filter head means releasably mounted to the hollow container; and filter base means removably mounted to the container, the filter base means having an inlet to receive oil to be filtered and an outlet to discharge filter oil. The filter head may be circular in shape, preferably a solid piece, it can be made out of materials such as; plastic, cast iron, steel or aluminum depending on its intended applications For example; for highly corrosive liquids, high quality stainless steel is used. For motor oil filtration, aluminium alloy is adequate for the invention. The versatile design of the filter head allows for its transformation to multifarious functions from simple filtration to multiple stage filtration within multiple filtering systems. The filter head of the invention has added to its basic form a threaded cap as well as having an outer thread at the bottom of the filter head. Within the lower part of the filter head is a set of openings generally subscribing to a tunnel shape. The single tunnel is made by drilling a hole horizontally at right angles from one side of the filter head through to the other side. At this stage of the invention the filter head configuration forms a single functional filter head alter having adapted to it a cylindrical shaped full flow filter medium. This basic form can be transformed into a much more complex filter head. The transformation is facilitated by the addition of various sized tunnels at designated points making oil passages associated with multiple filtering chambers. These chambers and tunnels may be located on different levels within the filter head. The number of tunnels or chambers required depend on the complexity of various filtering requirements. As an example, the one solid piece, single open tunnel filter head is appropriate for one filtering stage of a full flow filtering system which is a simple application of the invention. A two piece, multiple level, filter may have eight tunnels in the filter head. Some tunnels could be inter-connected and lead to two or more filtering chambers for specific filtering requirements. Oil filtering chambers within the filter head are formed to accommodate circular sheet filtering media by providing recess spaces. Circular disks containing the medium supporting members and filtering media join the parts of the filter together and are sealed by O rings. This system allows for a single filtering system or if the addition of filter medium connecting members or brushings are added a multiple stage filtering is achieved. This system not only allows for the above multiple stage filtering implementations, but also allows for the accommodation of additional component parts as required. Various porosity of filtering media which are flat circular sheets of tailor cut stainless steel cloth made from course to fine meshes are sandwiched between the recessed bushings. This multiple chamber filter head is a multiple stage filtering device, a bypass filtering system and it is one of the three distinct progressive filtering systems of the invention The versatility of the invention allows for implementation of either single stage or multiple stage filtering which is dependent on the number of filtering media and medium bushing disks implemented within the filter head. To extend the function of the filter head, and maximize the filtering effects by utilizing various flow tunnels built-in the filter head, a consolidated three piece full flow filtering device all in cylindrical configuration with both circular ends open, can be incorporated at the bottom part of the filter head. At this stage, the filter head itself can be in the single filtering stage or in the multiple filtering stage depending on how many circular medium bearing bushing disks and how many sheet media have been installed. The three piece filtering device in cylindrical configuration comprises the main full flow system of the invention. This includes a perforated flow guide on the outside, steel cloth medium and the core member which is threaded at both ends, corrugated and is a perforated element supporting member which is a rigid member, has one end secured to the bottom threaded retaining rim of the filter head and the other end is secured and enclosed by an outwardly threaded retaining base member. The retaining base has a centre hole for return oil flow and when the components are assembled a complete filtering core is formed. The oil flow guide has outward deflecting lips at one side of each perforated hole and the lips are all facing the same direction which is in the direction of the main oil flow. The flow guide is spaced a minimum of 2 mm away from the outside circumferential surface of the cylindrical main flow filtering element. The purpose and function of the flow guide during the oil flow restricted mode, is to prevent particles that were loaded on the surface of the fully clogged medium, from being washed off by the vibrantly moving main oil flow via the open safety valve tunnel which flows back to the engine. Within the empty core space of the rigid full flow medium supporting member, a smaller cylindrical device resembling this member, but comprised of a finer medium and its support member can be installed in addition to the full flow medium. These additional members form a progressive multiple stage full flow filtering system when incorporated in the staged filtering system. This additional stage can increase the holding capacity of the filter and enhance its efficiency due to the entrapping of smaller contaminants due to the increased range of filtering media sizes utilized. As a further embodiment the circular medium bearing disks may be installed by the same threaded means as the bottom retaining rim of the filter head. This is the safety full flow filtering system located at the exit of the safety valve tunnel installed after the safety valve. This version of the invention is equipped with a three-in-one pressure activated device; safety valve, sensor and dash board light indicator. If the cylindrical main full flow filtering medium becomes clogged causing the oil flow restriction sensor light to illuminate the safety valve is open and the main oil flow enters the safety tunnel and is filtered by the safety full flow filter. This safety full flow filtering measure, after the safety valve of the invention is a safety feature that the conventional oil filters presently do not have provided. The invention may employ any existing sensors or safety valves depending on different applications desired. According to a further feature of the present invention, magnets may be included. The magnets are useful to attract metal debris within the oil flow to remove them from possible contact with engine parts. Advantageously, the filtering body can be easily dismantled by unthreading the component parts cleaning of the magnetic implants makes them highly effective. Conveniently, the two distinct filtering mechanisms may be housed in a generic filter canister. The basic filter head incorporates a single cylindrical full flow element and safety valve. The complex filter head incorporates a multiple tunnel, multiple chamber for multiple stage filtering and in addition to that having a safety full flow filter, a cylindrical full flow filtering device and magnets forming four distinct and separate filtering systems housed within one filter canister. The invention comprises a single stage to multiple stage bypass filtering system as well as a safety filtering system within the filter head. The invention utilizes a range of 1 to 35 micron, circular sheet steel cloth elements. The cylindrical full flow element also has various ranges of micron sizes, typically 1 μm to about 300 μm that can be used depending upon specific requirements. Advantageously, the invention enables alternate filtering configurations to be employed. When installing space for the filter on a given engine is important, the invention filter body configuration can be changed by the safety valve being incorporated at the bottom centre of the filter head thus yielding space and enabling a shorter filter head to be made. This filter head of the invention comprises nearly all functions as the aforementioned but without the sensor and the indicating light and the safety full flow filter system. A further object of one embodiment of the present invention is to provide an internal combustion engine oil filter insert kit, comprising: a plurality of reusable individual filter elements; a plurality of connecting elements for releasably connecting the filter elements together to form an insert; and filter head means for releasably connecting the insert, the filter head means further including means for connection with an oil filter container. Within the multiple chamber filter head, a plurality of holes, about 300 microns in diameter, depending on the size of the filter and flow requirement, may be included from the outer circumference of the filter head into the upper part of the bypass filtering chamber. These tiny holes are the inlet-port orifices for controlled amount of small oil streams that enter the upper filtering chamber to be filtered. A further versatile transformation of the filter head, is made by enlarging the diameter of the small stream in- port orifices which lead to the upper filter chamber. These can be covered to become main oil flow tunnels for oil passage and replacing the very fine filtering media to an appropriate porosity. Oil flow is thereby increased and the bypass system is easily transformed into a full flow filtering system from its original configuration. Within the circular filter head, beneath the multiple chamber or the single chamber, three sets of oil flow tunnels are located on different levels. The first set of two vertical tunnels is part of the bypass system and is for the oil to permeate through and the filtered oil to merge with the main filtered return oil stream which comes through the cylindrical full flow medium. The second set of two tunnels is usually closed by the safety valve, except when the unfiltered main oil stream is restricted then the oil pressure forces the safety valve to open up allowing the main oil stream to flow back to the engine preventing starvation of oil to the engine. The third set of tunnels extends across from side to side in the lowest level of the filter head allowing oil flowing freely to reach the safety valve at any time in case the main full flow filtering medium is totally or partially fouled and oil flow is restricted. The forth is a small single tunnel running vertically down from a point near the rim at the top of the filter head. This small tunnel becomes the drain conduit for draining oil from the invention before an oil and filter servicing. The drain conduit is also for the convenience of collecting oil samples for analytical purposes. At the bottom part of the filter head one end of the cylindrical medium supporting member and the cylindrical full flow medium are mounted. All return oil will flow within the supporting member. At the other end of the cylindrical medium supporting member, a retaining base member with a centre hole is mounted to secure the cylindrical medium supporting member and separate the oil path. The above, when fastened as a whole can be inserted into a cylindrical shape, open ended filter canister. The filter head can be secured to the canister by threaded means, the thread is located in the interior of the rim of the open ended canister and is sealed by an O-ring when screwed down preventing oil leakage. The filter head and the discussed embodiment of the invention may be utilized with the conventional throw-away filter canister. The invention is able to adapt the convenience of the existing conventional method for installing an oil filter on an engine by spinning the same as is conventional. Part of the invention utilizes the conventional filter by machining off the filter top of the used canister and removing the used paper filter medium. Then the core of the invention is installed in the used filter canister by installing a U-shaped inner threaded metal ring right on and around the cut-off rim which re-in forces the used filter canister and makes it rigid. The next operation covers the insertion of the entire filter body into the used filter canister. This insertion is threaded into the used filter canister by the outer threaded filter head being turned into the inner threaded metal ring. The embodiment of the invention is the utilization of the used filter canister adapted as described and or the production of a new filter canister which can be manufactured, either of which when utilized with the internal workings (core) previously described forms the entire invention. The servicing of the invention becomes one version of the invention the indicator light is illuminated when servicing the invention becomes necessary. There are several configurations of the invention that have indicator light assemblies incorporated in their design. With respect to the embodiments of the invention that have indicator lights, the filter is serviced by unscrewing the top cap of the filter head and the whole filter body can be removed from the cylindrical filter canister. The main full flow medium is then fully exposed for easy cleaning. The bypass medium within can also be serviced at the same time and can be removed for servicing by removing the top portion of the filter head. For versions equipped without a sensor and indicator light, the filter may be services according to the manufacturer's recommended schedule; usually at three to six thousand kilometre intervals, or by the result of an oil sample analysis. In the normal filtering mode, the oil flows into the invention via the one way valves from the engine, filling up the space inside the housing around the filter head and the body. The main stream of oil flows rapidly through the main full flow filtering element. It returns to the engine while the small orifices are receiving small streams of oil. The small stream of oil by pressure forces its way into the bypass chamber. The filtered oil then passes through the one to three micron steel cloth media. The fine oil which is in small quantities then runs down the two tunnels and merges with the filtered main oil stream within the cylindrical element supporting member and the oil then continues its flow path back to the engine. In the restricted filtering mode, the main oil flow is restricted from the particle loaded filter medium; subsequently, via the open tunnel, oil pressure forces the safety valve to open allowing the main oil stream to flow through the two tunnels at different levels. At this stage the main oil stream returns to the engine without being filtered unless the safety full flow element is installed. There may be a small amount of oil permeating through the bypass system depending upon the condition of the bypass medium at this stage. Even though the bypass chamber, or chambers may be prematurely clogged with particles, this does not affect the unfiltered main oil stream flow through the full flow element when it is in normal mode. A further object of one embodiment of the present invention is designed to reduce environmental waste by reclaiming the innumerable discarded conventional oil filter canisters and by reducing the frequency of oil changes. Reducing the contamination of dump sites by eliminating the disposal of those large numbers of paper filtering media and greatly reducing the amount of used oil through more efficient filtration. The invention also offers a filtering device with adaptability, versatility, efficiency and is economical thereby providing a better alternative to conventional oil filters. The invention is a highly efficient filtration system suited for both heavy industrial usages and retail automotive trade. A still further object of one embodiment of the present invention is to provide a method of filtering internal combustion engine oil, comprising the steps of: providing a plurality of reusable discrete filtering elements, each having a different pore size for filtering particulates entrained in an oil feed, each of the filtered elements being releasably connectable with an adjacent element; disposing the filter elements coaxially within a container, the container adapted for connection with an oil outlet of the internal combustion engine; introducing oil into the container for passage through each of the filter elements; and progressively filtering a variety of particle sizes from the oil. Having thus generally described the nature of the invention, reference will now be to the accompanying drawings, illustrating preferred embodiments.

Modes for Carrying Out the Inventions Referring now to Figure 1, shown is the filter head 2 comprising a circular solid piece of metal with magnets 2m imbedded radially in its outer circumferential surface. The safety full flow filter 5 is a series of threaded components forming the filter body. The internal parts in sequence are a cylindrical full flow medium supporting member 6; a cylindrical full flow medium; a cylindrical full flow oil guide 8; a retaining base member 9; and a cylindrical filter canister 11 which may be adapted from a used conventional oil filter. The member at the bottom is the circular sealing gasket 11a of the filter canister. The internal gasket member 12 with circular flap flared out axially also functions as a back flow cover to prevent dirty oil flowing back to the engine. Figure 2 illustrates a conventional device adapted to enhance the function of the invention, the spring lc holds the ball Id in closed position, when pressure pushes the ball Id up and touches the hollow pin lb triggering the ground contact of a DC circuit (not shown) connected by le which is held in place by a small nut If which completes the circuit and turns the warning light on. Thread la is provided adjacent and beneath the main nut 1 for fastening within the filter head. Figure 3 illustrates the filter head 2. It is configured of four circular portions which gradually decrease in circumferential sizes from the top to the bottom. The top portion 2a is configured as a cap having a radial flange beneath and adjacent to the portion 2b, the latter being a threaded outer circumference. On the threaded outer circumference a O-ring sealing gasket 2f rests in circular groove 2g beneath flange 2a. One level lower is the larger body portion 2c where imbedded magnets 2m are located. The adjacent bottom projected rim 2d is threaded on its outer surface which may be adaptable by either an inward threaded circular bushing disk 5 (Figure 6) or with a cylindrical medium support member 6 (Figure 7). A circular recessed indentation 2e is at the bottom face of the rim 2d wherein forms the upper filter chamber when connected with bushing disk 5, illustrated in Figure 6. A threaded drain nut 2i plugs drain 2h which is shown in greater detail in Figure 22. The centre chamber cavity 2k where the device 1, illustrated in Figure 2, is positioned by a thread 2b which thread matches thread la on nut 1. Chamber 2k is also designed for alternate applications where a pressure sensing gauge may be utilized. Figure 4 illustrates a cross-sectional view of a circular sheet filtering medium 3 having a U-ring sealing gasket 3a mounted around its perimeter. The medium 3 will be labelled as first circular sheet medium 3 in order . to distinguish it from the other circular sheet medium with a central opening which will be labelled as the second circular sheet medium 32 hereinafter. Figure 5 illustrates a cross-sectional view of a circular medium underlay member 4 which is corrugated and perforated. Sheet medium 3 is in use positioned on the top surface of member 4. Figure 6 depicts a cross-sectional view of a circular bushing member 5. A circular indentation forming a recessed surface 5b is configured to receive medium 3 and member 4. The circular recess surface 5b is bounded by an axially extending raised ledge 5c. The thickness of member 4 in Figure 5, when positioned on 5b, does not exceed the height of ledge 5c. Ledge 5c holds the U-ring sealing gasket 3a of medium 3 when it rests on top of the member 4. An inner thread 5a is adaptable to receive other thread means 2d in Figure 3 is implemented adjacent above the ledge 5c. A circular projected rim 5d is a result of the above indented configuration. The first medium 3, member 4 and bushing 5 are assembled together which constitutes a safety full flow filter assembly which may be attached to the threaded bottom portion 2d of the filter head 2 in Figure 3. The smaller outer bottom portion 5f has a threaded circumferential area designed to receive a cylindrical medium support member 6 in Figure 7. The circular adaptable bushing disk 5 will be described further in detail concerning its other functions hereinafter in Figures 18, 20 and 48. The circular bushing disk 5 will be labelled as first circular bushing disk 5 hereinafter in order to distinguish the other circular bushing disk with a central projected rim bordering a central opening which will be labelled as the second circular bushing disk 42. referred to hereinafter in Figure 36. Figure 7 depicts a cross-sectional view of a circular, cylindrical, corrugated, perforated metal medium support member 6 having opposed ends 6b and 6c threaded. Member 6c connects with thread 5f of circular bushing disk 5 in Figure 6. Apertures 6a are passages for oil that penetrate through to the core space from the cylindrical filtering medium. Figure 8 illustrates the circular cylindrical steel cloth filter medium 7 having both circular ends mounted with a circular "U" shape O-πng 7a and 7b. Cylindrical filtering medium 7 is sheathed over the cylindrical medium supporting member 6 in Figure 7. Figure 9 illustrates that the circular cylindrical metal flow guide 8 has rows of large apertures and outwardly extending lips 8b on one side ot each aperture. The lips 8b are designed to deflect the flow ot oil along the filter wall towards the safety valve. The upper circular end 8d of the flow guide 8 slides over the cylindrical filtering medium 7. Circular end 8d fits frictionally around the non-threaded portion 5t ot the first circular bushing member 5 in Figure 6 and is ready to be fastened in position in a later sequence (discussed hereinafter). The lower circular end 8c is threaded together with the end member 9b of a retaining base member 9 in Figure 10. Figure 10 illustrates a retaining base member 9 which is a two tier threaded adapter forming the base of the filter core body. The base member 9 has an outward thread on the smaller circular platform portion 9a to connect with threaded end member 6b of cylindrical medium supporting member 6 in Figure 7. Its larger bottom portion has a radially extending flange where end member 7b ot the cylindrical filtering medium 7 rests in Figure 8. The other adjacent thread 9b on the circumferential surface ot the bottom portion is to be connected with the lower threaded end 8c of flow guide 8 in Figure 9. At the bottom face of the retaining base member 9, a smaller cylindrical collar-like supporting member 9c is welded, preferably threaded in its centre allowing the return oil to flow through the centre hole 9d. The filter assembly can now be connected to the retaining base member 9 in appropriate series. The oil flow guide 8 in Figure 9 slides down and is joined together at thread 8c with matching thread 9b in Figure 10. The above assembled parts form the completed lower-part of the filter body. This assembled filter head with filtering body is inserted into the open end of the canister 11 in Figure 12. Figure 11 is the top view of the retaining base member 9 of Figure 10 showing appropriate positions and features. Figure 12 illustrates a cross-sectional view of a conventional disposal steel canister having its top portion removed. A metal circular U-shaped O-ring 1 lg with the open end downward having its inner axial surface 1 If threaded, is mounted on the top edge of rim llh of the canister 11. The generally rounded top-side of the metal U-ring llg is ideal to make a tight seal when securely threaded against the rubber O-ring sealing gasket 2g in Figure 3. At the bottom of the canister 11, the rubber O-ring sealant 11a is the vital sealing gasket which is grooved in around the bottom part of the conventional filter canister to prevent leakage. A circular heavy gauge steel plate is the main structural base of the filter canister. The circular steel plate is configured with a radially concave area 1 lc on which a plurality of apertures are symmetrically located in a circular pattern. The function of the apertures is to act as inlet ports lib for oil to enter the canister. The radial concave area is shown more clearly and is referenced hereinafter in Figure 22. On the circular steel plate a larger centre aperture l id is also provided and is threaded on its inner surface. The aperture lid is the only main outlet port for return oil (shown on path l ie) flowing back to the engine block (not shown). Figure 13 illustrates a dual function circular plastic member which may be moulded in one piece comprising a cylindrical collar 12b and a circular flap 12d flared outward to form a circular groove 12c between collar 12b and flap 12d. The collar 12b includes an opening 12a designed to receive and sheath around l id in Figure 12. The assembled filter embodiment when inserted into the filter canister therein the cylindrical collar supporting member 9c of the retaining base member 9 in Figure 10 rests and fits on the circular groove 12c thereto, when the collar-flap member 12 is held down firmly in place by the complete filter insertion and when threaded together becomes an internal sealant between the embodied filter assembly and the bottom assembly of the filter canister therein separating the incoming and outgoing oil flow. The circular flap 12d covers the radially positioned inlet ports lib to prevent oil flow back to the engine block when the engine is not in operation. The assembled filter bead and canister, when completed, forms the filter. The apparatus is mounted on the engine block (not shown) by the centre threaded female receiving member l id in Figure 12 which is placed on top of the male threaded member 13e and threaded together by rotation on the oil filter mounting in Figure 14. The rotation is continued until the O-ring seal gasket 11a is in intimate contact with the engine mounting base and has been tightened so that the apparatus is secured tightly in position. Figure 14 illustrates the conventional oil filter mounting base 13 illustrating the exact position of convergence with the filter canister. When the apparatus is firmly attached onto the mounting base 13 in Figure 14, a circular oil tunnel 17 referred to hereinafter in Figure 22 is formed by closing a recessed circular indented area 13a matching with the circular concave area lie in Figure 12. Oil on path 13d comes through outlet port 13c and is distributed evenly within the circular tunnel 17 before entering inlet ports l i b leading into the canister. Return oil flow at lie and 13b coincides with the return oil flow in Figure 14. Figure 15 illustrates another cross-sectional view of a one piece filter bead referred to in Figure 3 and illustrates the positions of the open flow tunnel exits 15 and 15a and the appropriate position of drain conduit 2h. When the cylindrical main full flow medium is functioning normally, oil flows freely in and out of the open oil flow tunnel without disturbing the safety valve Id. The dashed lines illustrate the position of the safety valve tunnels referred to in Figure 16. Figure 16 illustrates another cross-sectional view of the one piece filter head referred to in Figures 3 and 15 illustrating the coordinate positions of the safety valve tunnel exists 14 and 14a, open tunnel exits 15 and 15a, the central position of the safety valve Id and the position of the drain conduit 2h. Figure 18 more clearly illustrates the first circular bushing disk 5 which is the same circular bushing disk 5 also referred to in Figures 6 and 18. The first circular bushing disk 5 has four additional functions the first of which is 5b, having an indentation recess to contain the first medium and the first underlay shown in Figures. 20 and 21. The second of which is element, 5a, a female thread designed to receive the threaded bottom retainer rim 2d shown in Figures. 15 and 16. The third is 5f which is the male threaded portion of the bottom retainer nm. The alternate function of element 5f is to receive the cylindrical medium supporting member 6 in Figure 7. The fourth ot which is element 5g, the bottom indentation designed to receive the first circular sheet medium 3 which becomes an upper chamber of the dual bypass system. Figure 18 relative to Figure 19 can be utilized as a bushing member to attach several filtering media in tandem making a series of filtering components. Figure 19 illustrates the bottom view of the first circular bushing disk 5 with apertures 5h and also shown in Figures 6 and 48. Figure 20 shows the cross-sectional view of the first circular sheet medium 3 which is mounted with a U-πng sealing gasket 3a, referred to in Figure 4 Figure 21 illustrates the top view ot the first circular sheet medium 3 and the U-nng 3a. The medium 3 is used in the safety full flow filter 5ι as well as tor media that are used for single and dual bypass filtering systems, as well as tor alternate construction of the invention and for the purpose to be mentioned hereinafter with reference to Figure 40. Figure 22 depicts a cross-sectional view and more clearly defines the invention. The one piece filter head 2 is the configuration without the built-in bypass system, but it is equipped with safety valve device Id and le and safety full flow filter 5ι which it comprises with first circular bushing disk 5 when added to medium and underlay (Figures 6, 18 and 48). This assembly is for the normal filtering mode. Oil path 16 shows the oil moving from the engine and rapidly flowing around the oil tunnel] 17. Oil then enters the inlet ports lib, forces open the back flow flap 12 and travels paths 18 and 18a. Flow continues passing through perforated holes on flow guide 8 then permeates the cylindrical full flow medium 7 and its perforated cylindrical supporting member 6 The oil continues to flow through paths 19 and 19a within the hollow core space of the support 6, gathering momentum and passing through the centre opening 9d of the circular retaining base member 9, through path 21 then returning to the engine. Oil flow to paths 20 and 2ϋa demonstrates that some oil moves around within the designated space of the invention and travels in and out of the open flow tunnel above the safety full flow filter 5ι. Magnets 2m attract any iron and steel metal particles and safety valve Id is a standby in the normal filtering mode position. The invention has two important read means on the main filter body for descriptive purpose. The first is located on the filter cap and designated as 2b. Thus thread secures the filter cap with the filter canister at inward thread llf on U ring llg. To form a seal of the above two threaded components an "0" ring 2g is utilized. The drain conduit 2h has an extremity adjacent to thread llf. The vertical inverted position results in draining of 95% of the residual oil in the filter canister during servicing. At the bottom portion point 22 is the thread that secures the filter canister in place with the oil filter mounting base of the engine (not shown). Figure 23 illustrates another embodiment of the invention without the bypass system in accordance with Figure 22. The system includes the safety full flow filtering system 5i and safety valve 1 in a restricted filtering mode. Both systems are housed within a reclaimed conventional filter canister. Oil flowing on path 16 travels around space 17 and forces open the circular flap 12, entering inlet ports l ib. Oil flows around the cylindrical full flow medium 7 and forward on paths 18 and 18a. When the cylindrical full flow medium 7 surface is fouled with particles, the space around medium 7 is maintained by having flow guide 8 in between separating the moving oil flow from the clogged filtering medium. There is little or no movement within the space thus the oil flow is relatively inconsequential compared to the oil flow on the outside of the flow guide 8. The oil current moves rapidly towards the safety tunnels deflected further by the protruding lips 8b. The oil flows along without disturbing the neutral space behind the flow guide 8 because of the baffling action of the protruding lips 8b. The function of the flow guides is to prevent the moving oil stream from washing off the particles which may be trapped on the surface of the medium from being carried back to the engine. Oil flowing along paths 20 and 20a inside the open flow tunnel proceeds on upwardly to paths 23 and 23a and pushes the safety valve Id to open. The oil flow proceeds on paths 24 and 24a then downward to paths 25 and 25a entering the chamber of the safety full flow filter 5i and filtered by the first circular sheet medium 3. The oil then permeates into the core area within the main cylindrical full flow medium 7 gathering momentum for the return to the engine shown on path 21. The safety valve Id is lifted to contact the sensor pin lb activating the indicator light connected to lc alerting the operator that safety valve is open and the main full flow medium is fouled. As the oil flows around the filter head the magnets 2m imbedded in the lower filter body trap and thus remove suspended iron and steel particles from the oil flow. Figure 24 depicts a cross-sectional view of the filter head illustrating other features of the invention. In this embodiment, the filter head 2 compπses two halves, referred to m Figures 1, 3, 15, 16, 22 and 23. This configuration of the filter head includes an upper filter body 26 and a lower filter body 27. A single stage bypass system is provided and retains all other functions as the one piece filter head 2 thereby showing coordinate of the safety valve's central chamber 2k. The latter houses the safety valve 1, magnets 2m, dram conduit 2h with the broken lines showing the safety and open tunnels. Ducts 28a and 28b lead into chambers 29 and 29a of the bypass chamber 20 and 30a. The two exit tunnels 31 and 31a are beneath the circular chamber spaces 30 and 30a The chambers 29 and 29a inside the upper filter body 26 are not necessarily in alignment with the two exit tunnels 31 and 31a when threaded together with the lower filter body 27. Figure 25 illustrates more clearly the bottom view of the lower filter body 27 concerning the appropriate positions of all the features within the two piece filter head in Figure 24. Exits 31 and 31a are the tunnel exits of the bypass system, referred to in Figure 21. Exits 14 and 14a are the safety tunnels illustrated in Figures 15, 17 and 23. Horizontal tunnel exits 15 and 15a are the open flow tunnels illustrated in Figures 16, 22 and 23. The drain conduit 2h is located adjacent to the top nm ot the upper body member 26 ot the filter head while magnets 2m are aligned around the circular surface in positions to avoid blocking the exits 15 and 15 and orifice ducts 28a and 28b shown in Figure 24. Figure 26 illustrates the top view of the upper filter body 26 of the filter head referring to Figures 24 and 25. Central chamber 2k is the housing chamber for appropriate sensing instruments, such as safety valve or pressure gauge. Location 2h is the position of the top drain conduit. Figure 27 illustrates the top view of the second circular steel cloth sheet medium 32 with an opening 32b to which accommodates the safety valve 1 referred to in Figures 24 and 31 within centre chamber 2k. The second circular sheet medium 32 has the U-πng sealing gasket 32a on the outer rim and a centre sealing gasket 32c defining the centre opening 32b. The second sheet medium 32 is made for the filtering system within the filter head which is equipped with a centre cavity chamber 2k described in Figures 24 and 25. Figure 28 depicts more clearly the cross-sectional view of the second circular sheet medium 32, with U-ring 32a, centre U-ring 32c and centre opening 32b. Figure 29 and Figure 30 illustrate the top view and cross-sectional view of the corrugated and perforated sheet metal second circular underlay member 33 with a centre opening 33b which is aligned concentrically with the centre opening 32b of the second medium 32 in Figure 27 and the centre instrument chamber 2k in Figure 24. Figure 31 depicts a cross-sectional view according to the aforementioned single stage bypass system within the two piece filter head referred to in Figure 24. At the bottom ot the upper filter body 26, there is included a projected outer rim member 36 threaded on its outer circumferential area 35. The projected outer rim member 36 encompasses a recess area 36a forming the upper bypass chamber extending radially inwardly surrounding an inner circular projected member 37 bordering the safety valve chamber 2k. On the surface of the recess 36a there are two symmetrically positioned shallow holes 29 and 29a, referred to in Figure 24 which are the chambers designed to receive small oil streams from the orifice ducts 28a and 28b, positioned at points 334 and 34a. As on the top circular surface of the lower filter body 27 the same arrangement is provided to form the lower bypass chamber. A projected outer rim member 38 having inner circumferential thread 38a, adjacent to but beneath the thread 38a is a raised circular ledge 39 which encompasses a recess area 39a. The latter extend radially and inwardly surrounding an inner circular projected member 40 which matches the inner circular projected member 37 and also borders the safety valve chamber 2k. On the surface ot the recess area 39a, two matching size apertures 31 and 31a extend to the bottom of the lower filter body 27 comprising the oil exit tunnels. The second circular underlay member 33 is placed under the second circular sheet medium 32 against the recess surface 39a of the lower bypass chamber of the lower filter body 27. The outer U-ring sealing gasket 32a of the second circular medium 32 rests on top the circular ledge 39 so that its small centre U-ring sealing gasket 32 is seated on top of the circular projected member 40. During the threading action that brings together the upper filter body 26 and lower filter body 27, the projected outer rim member 36 matches circular ledge 39 and closes intimately so that contact on outer U-ring seal gasket 32 is made. The inner circular projected member 37 of the upper filter body 26 simultaneously comes in intimate contact on inner U-ring 32a and inner U-ring 32c and thus the second circular sheet medium 32 is secured within the single bypass chamber forming a sandwiched filter construction. Figure 32 illustrates a full side view of the enclosed two piece filter head with upper filter body 26 and lower filter body 27 having a bottom rim 27a threaded on its outer circumference, referred to in Figure 31. The threaded circumference 27a is for receiving the cylindrical medium supporting member 6 referred to in Figure 7 or the adaptable first circular bushing disk 5 which forms the safety full flow filter 5i, referred to in Figures 18, 22, and 23. The bottom recessed indentation 27b is the upper chamber of the safety full flow filter 5i, referred to in Figures 18 and 22 which, in the case that such application can be utilized by adapting the first circular bushing disk 5, referred to in Figures 6 and 18. Figure 33 illustrates the various oil paths that flow within the filter canister. The normal filtering mode is comprised of a single stage bypass system, the magnets 2m are in the position along the safety valve id and the safety full flow filter 5i, referred to in Figures 18 and 22. Oil from engine flows on oil path 16 moves around space 17 and then enters inlet ports lib then flows into the cylindrical canister shown by oil paths 18 and 18a. The main flow of oil moves rapidly on paths 19 and 19a into the perforated holes of flow guide 8, then permeates through the flow guide 8 and is filtered by the cylindrical main full flow medium 7 thereupon passing through the cylindrical medium supporting member 6. Other oil paths denoted by arrows 20 and 20a show that oil travels freely in and out the open flow tunnel 15 referred to in Figure 16. In this normal filtering mode, the safety valve Id is in the closed position; some oil is forced into the single stage bypass filtering chamber via the orifice ducts shown by oil paths 41 and 41a. Oil filtered by a finer second circular sheet medium 32 in Figure 31 passes the first courser safety full flow sheet medium 3 in Figure 4 within safety full flow filter 5i referred to in Figures 6 and 18. The filtered bypass oil stream merges with the filtered main oil flow stream within the core space of the cylindrical medium support 6 and returns to the engine shown on oil path 21. Figure 34 illustrates a cross-sectional view of the invention in accordance with Figure 33 and shows various oil paths in the restricted filtering mode. In this embodiment, the arrangement provides the magnets 2m, single stage bypass system and the safety full flow filter 5i. Oil from engine flows on oil path 16, going around space 17, entering inlet ports lib, oil paths 18 and 18a which show oil moving within the filter canister 11. The oil is moving rapidly in this mode flowing forward, passing by the guide 8 without disturbing the contaminated cylindrical full flow medium 7 referred to in Figure 8 and flowing on to paths 20 and 20a. Oil entering the full flow tunnel 15 on paths 23 and 23a illustrates that oil forces open the safety valve Id and advancing on path 24 and 24a within the two safety valve tunnels referred to in Figures 15 and 23. The oil continues to flow rapidly toward the safety full flow filter 5h and is filtered by a course first circular sheet filter medium 3 referred to (Figures 21 and 23). Simultaneously, oil flows through open-flow tunnel 15 and around the magnets 2m. The flow on paths 41 and 41a shows oil entering the bypass filtering chamber via the orifice ducts 28a and 28b referred to in Figure 31 and being filtered by the finer second circular sheet medium 32. The small oil stream then flows into the bypass exit tunnels approaching the safety full flow filter 5i thereto, penetrates the course first circular sheet medium 3 and merges with the filtered main oil flow shown on oil paths 25 and 25a within the core space of the cylindrical medium support member 6. Gathering momentum the oil then flows back into the engine on oil path 21. If the cylindrical main full flow filtering medium is fouled the safety valve Id is lifted to contact the sensor pin lb thereby activating the indicator light via lc to alert that the safety valve is functioning and the main oil flow is restricted. The magnets 2m continue to trap iron and steel particles that flow near the field. Figure 34 illustrates a cross-sectional view of the invention in relation to Figure 31 which comprises a single stage bypass system within the same two piece filter head, therebetween. By inserting the second circular bushing disk 42 which is connected with the top portion of lower filter body 27 ensuring the circular medium underlay 33 and second circular sheet medium 32 remains in place on top of the lower filtering member 27. Another second circular medium underlay 44 and another second circular sheet medium 43 are then placed on the top surface of the second circular bushing disk 42. The above assembly when connected with upper filter body 26, results in the conversion of a single stage bypass into a dual stage bypass system within the same two piece filter head. Figure 35 illustrates the coordinate positions of the oil orifice ducts 25 and 28a, drain conduit 2h, with dashed lines showing open flow exit tunnel 47 and 17a, as well as safety flow tunnel exits 48 and 48a, dual bypass tunnel exits 49 and 19a, and threads on the outer surface of the rim 27a. As a further example of the versatility of the invention by enlarging the oil duct 28a and 28b into full flow oil tunnels and replacing them with circular sheet filtering media, the system may be converted into a single stage or a dual stage full flow system as broadly shown in Figure 50 discussed in greater detail hereinafter. Figure 36 illustrates a cross-sectional view of the second circular bushing disk 42, which has a circular projected nm 42a. The adjacent thread 51 is on the inner nm area of the member 41a. A radially extended raised ledge 48 is adjacent to and beneath the thread 51 and encompasses circular recess surface 49. Surface 49 has a central axis aperture with a raised circular lip shown as projected member 50. A second circular medium underlay member 33 is then placed beneath a second circular sheet medium 32 against the recess surface 49 referred to in Figure 35. When upper filter body 26 is assembled together with the second circular bushing disk 42, the result of the threading action is that two circular pressure areas are created on the upper side of the second circular bushing disk 42, which is the circular ledge 48 and centre circular projected member 50. The second outer U-πng sealing gasket 31a rests on ledge 48 and the second central U-πng gasket 32c rests on the central projected member 50, reference to Figure 35. Openings 54 are passages for filtered oil. The bottom portion of the second circular bushing disk 42 is made to receive the lower filter body 27. The second circular bushing disk 42 has on its outer circumference 57, a 90° indent, which is threaded to receive the lower filter body 27. Surface 53 which is the bottom recess forming an outer projected πm-member 55 encompasses a radially, inwardly extending recess 53 which becomes the upper chamber of the second stage filter. Recess 53 having the central axis with circular raised nm, shown as projected member 55 bordering safety valve chamber 2k, referred to in Figure 35. There are two circular pressure areas on this lower part of the circular bushing disk 42, the projected nm 52 for pressing the (2nd) outer U-nng sealing gasket 32a and the centre circular projected member 55 for pressing the (2nd) centre U-nng sealing gasket 32c. Figure 37 illustrates a side view of an enclosed filter head in accordance with Figure 36 depicting of a dual bypass system. This alternate form of the invention is complete when the upper filter body 26 and the lower filter body 27 are sandwiched together with the second circular bushing disk 42 referred to in Figure 36. The bottom portion of the lower filter body 27 having a threaded outer circular surface 27a forms a projected rim which forms a recess. The recess 27b becomes the upper chamber of the safety full flow filter 5i when adapted to the first circular bushing disk 5, referred to in Figure 18. Figure 38 illustrates another transformation and alternate configuration of the invention having a two piece filter head. The embodiment shown resembles the configurations in Figures 32 and 33. The centre nut 59 on the top of the upper filter body 61 has a four-way hole 59a interconnected for easy removal from the filter canister by inserting a metal rod and turning to loosen the nut. A screwdriver or other instrument may be used to loosen the nut. Adjacent to the edge of the cap 61a is a drain nut 60. When drain nut 60 is screwed to drain conduit 60a it closes the drain. Lower filter body 62 of the filter bead has magnets 73 imbedded in the surrounding surface. The alternate safety valve 62 installed at the bottom centre is centrally connected to the open flow tunnel 75. This alternate design provides a flatter filter head for situations where installation space is limited. Figure 38 also exhibits more clearly the sequence of assembling the invention made up of cylindrical medium support 6, cylindrical full flow medium 7, cylindrical flow guide 8, retaining base member 9 and the open end filter canister 11. In particular, Figure 38 illustrates the relationship between the cylindrical medium support 6, the cylindrical full flow medium 7 and the cylindrical flow guide 8. Figure 39 depicts the cross-sectional view of the invention according to Figure 38 and exhibits more clearly the alternate configuration of the shorter two piece filter head of the invention also related to in Figure 31 and 38. The two piece filter head, consisting of an upper filter body 61 and a lower filter body 62, contains a single stage bypass system. The filter head equipped without the cylindrical safety valve chamber 2a is referred to in Figure 24 and 3. In this alternate configuration, an alternate safety valve 63 is implemented and is located at a different position. The circular sheet medium 69 resembles sheet medium 3 in Figure 21 and the circular medium underlay member 70 requires no centre opening as shown in Figure 40 and Figure 41. The drain nut 60 is threaded in place shutting the drain conduit 60a. The O-ring 64 is fitted into a groove and is positioned adjacent to and above the threaded circular surface 65. The other outer threaded circular surface 66 of the upper filter body 61 is designed to receive the inner threaded rim 71 of the lower filter body 62. The circular ledge 71a is made so the outer U-ring seal gasket 69a of medium 69 can rest on it. During the threading action, pressure is applied equally on circular projection 66a and the circular ledge 71a creating intimate contact on the filtering medium perimeter seal 69a. The filtering medium being secured by the above action beneath the circular underlay member 70 and are both sandwiched between the upper body 61 and lower body 62. Orifices 67 and 67a lead to chambers 68 and 68a of the upper filter head. Two openings 72 and 7a having both extremities through the bottom of lower body 61 are the two bypass tunnels. Magnets 73 are installed on the circular surface of lower part 62. The thread 62a on the outer surface of the bottom rim of lower part 62 is for connecting the cylindrical full flow element 7 in Figure 38 or with the safety full flow filter 5i in Figure 18. Figure 40 depicts the top view of the circular sheet medium 69 which can be used as the medium for the single stage and the dual stage bypass systems for the filter head shown in Figure 39 without the centre safety valve chamber 2k. The circular sheet medium 69 is the same as the circular medium 3 referred to in Figure 4 and can also be used as the filtering medium for the safety full flow medium 3 in Figure 21 provided appropriate porosity is used. The circular U-ring seal gasket 69a is the same cis the 3a shown in Figure 21. Figure 41 exhibits the top view of the circular medium underlay member 70 of the circular sheet medium 69 which also can be used in the single stage and " the dual stage bypass system as well as in the safety full flow filter 5i referred to in Figure 5. Figure 42 illustrates a side view of the two piece filter head with upper filter body 62 and lower filter body 62, forming the single stage bypass system of the invention, having magnets 73 on the circumferential surface of lower filter body 62. The dashed line shows the positions of the open flow tunnel exits 75 and 75a. Figure 43 illustrates the assembled alternate construction of the invention in the normal filtering mode. The embodiment also contains the alternate safety valve 63 and a single stage bypass system within the filter bead. Oil flows out from the engine on the oil path denoted by arrow 16 flowing in space 17, enters inlet ports lib, flows rapidly on the path denoted by arrows 18 and 18a. The oil then flows in apertures 19 and 19a into the main full flow element from around the flow guide 8 via all perforated holes 8a. Some oil flows freely on paths 20 and 20a in and out of the open flow tunnels 75 and 75a. At this stage the safety valve 63 remains in a closed mode. Small amounts of oil travel further on path 76 and 76a and are forced into orifices 58 and 58a shown on path 77 and 77a. The oil permeates through the bypass medium down to the bypass tunnels and into the core space within the cylindrical full flow medium. This oil merges with the main filtered oil flow gathering momentum while flowing back into the engine on path 21 (not shown). Figure 44 exhibits the functioning invention in the restricted filtering mode. The embodiment comprises a single stage bypass system within the filter head. Oil flowing out of the engine on the oil path denoted by arrow 16 goes around space 17 entering inlet ports and moving rapidly forward on the paths denoted by arrows 18 and 18a, passing through the flow guide 8 without disturbing the fouled medium which lies behind the baffled oil flow. Oil paths denoted by arrows 20 and 20a show the oil flowing towards the open flow tunnel on path 79 and 79a to open the safety valve 63 which allows the main flow of oil to disperse into the core space of the cylindrical medium support member. Some of the oil travelling on flow paths 76 and 76a is forced into orifices 58 and 58a shown on paths 70 and 70a entering the upper bypass chamber thereupon permeating through the bypass medium down the bypass tunnels into the core space within the cylindrical element support. The oil flow proceeds and merges with the main unfiltered oil flow gathering momentum and returning to the engine on path 21. At this stage the bypass filter may be clogged by particles and may not function at a desirable capacity. Figure 45 is a schematic version of the invention which shows the filter head 80 with no bypass system and no safety full flow filter. This schematic shows an alternate assembly of the invention in a normal filtering mode. Oil from the engine block (not shown) flowing on path 16 spreads around the concave recess space 17 and is forced through inlet ports. The oil flow then forcibly opens the circular flap into the filter canister. Oil flows rapidly upward on the paths denoted by arrows 18 and 18a entering the flow guide 8. The oil flowing on paths 19 and 19a shows oil penetrating the main full flow element. The filtered main oil flow picks up momentum and returns to the engine on path 21. Oil paths 20 and 20a show oil travelling freely within the open flow tunnel flowing around the imbedded magnets 73, all the while the safety valve 63 remains in the closed position. Figure 46 is a same assembly to Figure 45 depicting the filter head 80. The filter head has no bypass system, nor does it have a safety full flow filter. This alternate assembly of the invention is restricted filtering mode. Oil forced out from the engine (not shown) flows oh the oil path denoted by arrow 16 flowing around space 17, entering the inlet ports and forcing open the circular flap. The oil flowing into the filter casing moves rapidly forward on the paths represented by arrows 18 and 18a, passing by the flow guide 8 without disturbing the fouled cylindrical full flow medium 78 behind it because of the baffled ports and the protective body of the flow guide 8. Oil paths 20 and 20a show the oil flowing in the open flow tunnel and proceeding on oil flow paths 79 and 79a, the oil flow pushes open the safety valve 63 and allows the main flow of oil from the oil body to disperse into the core space of the cylindrical full flow medium as shown on the oil path shown by arrows 79 and 79a. The oil flow in growing filtered volume flows back to the engine (not shown) on the path represented by arrow 21. Figure 47 depicts another alternate configuration of the invention which comprises a dual bypass system. With accompanying reference to Figure 39. the same filter head of the upper filter body 61 and the lower filter body 62 is used to show additional filtering capacity. A dual bypass system can be demonstrated by separating the upper and lower filter body of the filter head and ensuring the first circular sheet medium 69 and the first circular medium underlay 70 remain in position on top of lower filter body 62. The dual bypass system is then created by simply adding the first circular bushing disk 5 (Figure 6,) which is housed with a second circular sheet filtering medium 82 and a second circular medium underlay member 83. The above assembly, when threaded together with the lower filter body 62, forms the lower part of the first stage of the dual bypass filter assembly. The second stage of the dual bypass filter assembly is made by adding upper filter body 61 in a stacked configuration. When the upper filter body 61 is stacked and threaded in place above the first circular bushing disk 5 which contains the second circular filtering medium 82 and the second circular medium underlay member 83, a multiple sandwiched filtering assembly is formed, which is the dual bypass system of the invention. The dashed line shows the position of the open flow channel exits 74 and 74a, and 62a is the threaded outer circumference to receive the cylindrical medium supporting member 6. Figure 48 depicts a cross-sectional view of the circular bushing disk member 81 which is the same first circular bushing disk 5 that was shown in Figuress 6 and 47. The inner threaded rim surface 81a is adjacent to a raised circular ledge 81d whereon rests the U-ring 81 and medium 82. Ledge 18d encompasses upper recessed circular surface 81c having perforations 81b that provide openings for the passage of filtered oil. The recessed circular surface 81c when attached to an upper filter head body becomes a lower filtering chamber. The lower outer threaded rim surface 81e is designed to connect with the lower filter body referred to in Figure 47. The projected circular member 81f forms a circular rim to hold down the U-ring of a second filtering medium when used in a dual bypass system. The bottom recessed surface 18g when attached to a lower filter body becomes the upper filter chamber referred to in Figure 47. The circular bushing disk member 81 also can be used as the safety full flow filter 5i referred to in Figures 6 and 18. Figure 49 illustrates a side view of the alternate filter head with upper filter body 61 and lower filter body 62 enclosed with a dual bypass system facilitated by adaptable circular bushing disk member 81. The outward threaded rim surface 62a is for adapting a safety full flow filter 5i or with the cylindrical full flow medium 7. Figure 50 illustrates the upper filter body referring to the same upper filter body in Figure 33 with the tiny orifice ducts enlarged and the finer circular medium replaced with a courser circular sheet medium. Figure 51 depicts additional components of the invention. Part of the invention when utilizing conventional or existing filter canisters that are on the market and adapting them to receive the internal filtering media of the invention creates a reusable filtering canister. When a typical oil filter is removed from an internal combustion engine in the conventional way, the filter is then placed on a metal lathe adapted to receive the used filter canister 11. By rotating the filter canister 11 and pressing against its side with a fixed cutting tool ilk, the top of the typical filter body llj is cut off at a predetermined point. The contaminated internal paper filtering material and other materials are removed from the filter canister 11. The filter canister 11 is then cleaned. Figure 52 depicts the cleaned-open-ended filter canister 11. This reclaimed filter canister 11 is now ready to receive a metal 0-nng llg which is cross-sectionally shaped in a "U" fashion. The U-ring is fitted to the cleaned filter canister with various conventional fasteners such as, welding or crimping etc. U-nng l lg is mounted inversely and secured radially on the top of the nm and the internal radial surface llg is threaded by an appropriate instrument. The U-nng llg fits tightly against the rubber 0-πng sealing gasket 2g of the filter head when fastened together and is designed to secure an internal filtering apparatus. The refitted filtering canister receives the core ot the invention, and the filtering devices and mechanism can be used and reused over and over again. The core part of the invention when assembled in the refurbished canister creates a complete multiple-system filter which is reusable for the entire lite of the internal combustion engine. Figure 53 illustrates the configuration of a new filter canister Urn comprising an open-end lln and a metal 0-πng llq which has an inner thread lip, the 0-πng is placed within the canister 11m therein before the open-end l ln is curled inwardly forming a radially extending groove thereby the metal ring llq is fitted in the grove and is secured by crimping means. The one piece filter head 80 related to Figure 45 shows the relationship of attachment between the filter head 80 and the canister Urn. Figure 54 is an exploded view showing the assembling order of the warning device used in conjunction with the present invention. The device includes a head bolt 1 ' with a threaded shaft la' and has two functions; I) to secure the warning light assembly to the filter cap; and ii) when it is secured it acts as part of a conductor to activate the warning light.

Figure 111 illustrates a cross-sectional view of used oil filter canister 27' with the top removed. 27a' is the open rim adjacent to which a bead 27b' is ran inwardly around the upper body of canister body 27'. Bead 27b' reinforces the rigidity of the thin metal structure of the open end canister body 27'; this forms a ledge 27c', which is inside the canister body 27'. When canister ring 26' is inserted into the open end of canister body 27', O-ring 26h' is urged downwardly as a seal to prevent oil leakage, therefore canister ring 26' is secured in position by engaging with ledge 27b'. At the bottom of canister body 27', where rubber ring 27d' is grooved in place circling an array of multiple oil entry ports 27e\ The threaded center outport 27f, which is the only passage for the filtered oil returns to the engine and is rotated into position. A flat rubber washer 27g' is for positioning and acts as a seal when the filter core is inserted into the filter canister. Figure 114 is a perspective exploded view of showing the canister ring 26' to be inserted into the canister body 27'. Figures 115 and 116 illustrate the open rim 27a' crimped down to the nearest wall of the groove 26b' to hold and the canister ring 26' secured in position. Figure 117 is a perspective view of the assembled canister ring 26' and the open ended canister body 27'. Figure 118 illustrates a perspective view of a complete filter core as referenced in Figure 108 and is inserted into the assembled canister ring 26' and the canister body 27', referenced in Figures 114 and 117. Figure 119 illustrates a cross-sectional view of a fully assembled three stage filter core which is inserted into the filter canister. The rubber washer 27g' is placed between the bottom of the filter core and is positioned and sealed properly against the outport of the filter canister. Figure 119 depicts one embodiment of three models of the invention with arrows indicating the flow of the oil from the engine (not shown) through three filtering stages, (Figures 119 to 121). Figure 119 illustrates the oil activity of the main filter only. Numeral 29' illustrates the flow of the oil entering the filter through a series of entry ports 27e\ which are positioned at the base of the filter canister 27'. 30' shows' the flow of oil moving along the perimeter of the filter casing. Arrow 31' shows the oil travelling closer to the main filter medium and 31a' shows the oil moving through the main filtering medium 21a'. Arrow 32' shows the oil movement outside of the safety filter housing 14' while the safety filter is in its closing mode. Arrows 33' show the filtered oil flowing through the filter's central chamber moving down the core passage 34' and returning to the engine. Figure 120 illustrates a cross-sectional view showing the main filter 21' and the fine micronics filter 24' functioning simultaneously. Oil movement from the main filter 21' from oil path 31', 31a' and 33' have been referenced with respect to Figure 86. Arrow 29' shows the oil entering the oil entry ports 27e'; 30' shows the oil flowing forward along the perimeter canister of the invention and 30a' and 30b' shows a small amount of oil entering offices 25a' and 25b'. Numeral 30c' shows the oil permeate through fine micronic filter medium. Numerals 24' and 34' show the filtered oil from the micronics filter chamber joining the oil flow from the main filtering chamber and flowing back to the engine via oil passage 35'. Figure 121 illustrates a cross-sectional view showing the main filter medium 21' in a plugged condition. Arrows 29' show the oil flow into the canister via entry ports 27e', while arrows 30' show the oil continuous on its path 30a' and some small amount of oil flow through orifice 25a' and 25b'. Continuous oil movement of the fine micronics filter 24' has been discussed relative to Figure 120'. Arrow 32' shows the oil flowing along the perimeter canister outside the upper safety filter. In the figure, oil flow is shown restricted due to the plugged main filter medium 21a'. In this situation, oil pressure increased, therefore forcing both safety valves 13b' and 13c' open allowing the oil to flow through. As the safety valves have been forced open, the oil reaches the upper safety filter 18'. Arrows 32a', 32b' and 32c' show the movement of the oil passing through the safety filter medium 18' and entering the core oil passage 32d'. Flow continues to arrow 33' passing the main filter core passage, joining the filtered oil flow from the micronics filter 24' merged in oil path 34' and previously then flows back to the engine (not shown) via oil path 35'. Figure 122 illustrates the warning device assembly 36' referred to the warning device 1' in Figure 54. The receiving nut 6' in Figure 54 is the same as the receiving nut 6' in Figure 122 but without the contacting pin 6b' that affixed to the the nut body 6, referenced in Figure 54. The contact spring 36a' is attached to the bottom of receiving nut 6.
