Patent ID: 8097157

Claim:
A fluid filtration system comprising: a manifold assembly comprising: a mounting bracket; an alignment collar connected to the mounting bracket; and a rotating latch assembly rotatable with respect to the mounting bracket and the alignment collar; and a filter cartridge comprising: a filter cartridge outer surface; a cartridge latching structure formed on the filter cartridge outer surface to interact with the rotating latch assembly; wherein, when the filter cartridge is aligned with the alignment collar and inserted into the manifold assembly, the filter cartridge is: (i) latched into the manifold assembly by translating the filter cartridge toward the manifold assembly to cause rotation of the rotating latch assembly to engage the cartridge latching structure; and (ii) unlatched from the manifold assembly by translating the filter cartridge toward the manifold assembly to cause rotation of the rotating latch assembly to disengage the cartridge latching structure.
