Abstract:
A multiple cartridge fluid filter canister for mounting operatively in a standard filter housing includes spaced part upper and lower support plates that engage respective ends of a plurality of elongate filter cartridges that extend between the upper and lower support plates. The upper support plate carries an upper positioning element that depends from the upper support plate for engaging an upper end of a respective filter cartridge. The lower support plate carries a corresponding lower positioning element that extends upwardly from the lower support plate to engage a lower end of the filter cartridge. Annular seals surround the upper and lower positioning elements for respectively interengaging and sealing the upper and lower ends of the filter cartridge to restrict fluid flow between the cartridge and the upper and lower support plates. The upper and lower support plates define one or more inlets and outlets that communicate with corresponding fluid flow inlet and outlet lines in the filter housing.

Claim (Index 1):
A multiple cartridge fluid filter canister assembly for operatively mounting within a filter housing, which housing has a fluid inlet and a fluid outlet, said filter canister assembly comprising:\n upper and lower support plates that are releasably interconnected by an elongate connector extending generally centrally between said upper and lower support plates; a plurality of filter cartridges supported between said upper and lower support plates, each said filter cartridge including an elongate, generally cylindrical filter media component interengaged at an upper end thereof with a respective upper positioning element attached to and depending from said upper support plate, said cartridge being interengaged at a lower end thereof with a respective lower positioning element attached to and projecting upwardly from said lower support plate, said respective upper and lower positioning elements being generally aligned and holding each said filter cartridge in a fixed position between said upper and lower support plates; each said upper positioning element being surrounded by a corresponding upper annular seal carried by said upper support plate for engaging and sealing said upper end of said filter media component of a respective said cartridge to restrict fluid flow between said upper plate and said upper end of said filter media component; each said lower positioning element being surrounded by a corresponding lower annular seal carried by said lower support plate for engaging and sealing said lower end of said filter cartridge to restrict fluid flow between said lower support plate and said lower end of said filter cartridge; and at least one filter canister assembly inlet and at least one filter canister assembly outlet that communicate respectively with the fluid inlet and fluid outlet of the filter housing.
