Abstract:
The present invention relates to a filtering assembly for filtering at least one fluid flowing in particular in a hydraulic motor or device, comprising: —a filter body which comprises a vessel and a cover which are configured to engage with one another in order to enable the filter body to close, —a tube, in particular a central tube, inside the filter body extending along a longitudinal axis (X), —a removable filter cartridge which is housed in the filter body and includes an upper end plate, a lower end plate and a filter medium which extends between the upper end plate and the lower end plate, the filter cartridge having a tubular opening for surrounding the tube, characterized in that the cover has a circular rib which is formed such as to project into an inner space of the filter body, and in that the upper end plate has a circular edge which is designed to sealingly engage radially and inwardly with said circular rib of the cover.

Claim (Index 9):
A filter apparatus for filtering a fluid, comprising:\n a filter cartridge removably sized for housing in a filter body and comprising an upper end plate, a lower end plate and a filter medium extending between the upper end plate and the lower end plate, the upper end plate having a circular rim configured to sealingly engage radially and inwardly with a circular rib of a cover of the filter body, the filter cartridge defining a tubular opening; and a tube positioned inside the filter body, the tube extending along a longitudinal axis of the filter body at least partially within the tubular opening of the filter cartridge, the tube having an upper end configured to extend at least partially radially inward in contact with the circular rim of the upper end plate such that, when the filter cartridge is placed in the filter body, the circular rim of the upper end plate is radially compressed at least partially between the circular rib of the cover and the upper end of the tube, wherein the circular rim of the upper end plate includes an upper end, the upper end of the tube extending substantially to the upper end of the circular rim such that an inner peripheral surface of the circular rim is in contact with an outer surface of the upper end of the tube over substantially an entire height of the circular rim, and wherein the circular rib includes at least one boss presenting on an outer peripheral surface of the circular rib, the outer peripheral surface of the circular rib not being in contact with the circular rim of the upper end plate.
