Abstract:
Air filter cartridges for use in air cleaner assemblies are described. The air filter cartridges typically comprise a stack of strips of fluted media, having an inlet flow face and an outlet flow face. A projection is provided extending outwardly from adjacent the outlet flow face of the media pack, as a projection supporting a seal arrangement. The seal arrangement is typically rectangular, with four straight and four rounded corners. The projection can be configured with open corners, and in some instances comprises tabs, to facilitate flexing of the projection to accommodate variations in a housing seal surface, with which the cartridge is installed. Air cleaner assemblies and components therefor, using cartridges in accord with the descriptions herein, are described.

Claim (Index 21):
An air filter cartridge comprising:\n (a) a media pack having an inlet flow face, and, an opposite outlet flow face and comprising fluted media secured to facing media;\n (i) the media pack being closed to air entering an inlet face and passing outwardly from an outlet flow face without filtering flow through media of the media pack; and, \n (b) a housing seal arrangement comprising a seal member defining at least one of an inwardly directed radial seal and an outwardly directed radial seal;\n (i) each such radial seal being a seal configured to provide seal forces directed generally orthogonal to a direction of air flow through the media pack; and, \n (ii) a seal frame projection embedded within the seal member;\n (A) the seal frame projection comprising a plurality of spaced tabs, having gaps between the tabs, embedded in the seal member.
