Abstract:
A filter arrangement for threadably securing to a filter head includes a housing having a surrounding wall defining an interior volume, an open mouth providing access to the interior volume and an end opposite of the open mouth. The surrounding wall has an exterior and an interior. A filter media construction is operably held within the interior volume. A sleeve, distinct from the housing, is secured to the exterior of the surrounding wall adjacent to the housing mouth and extending partially along the surrounding wall. The sleeve has an exterior and an interior. The exterior of the sleeve defines mounting threads constructed and arranged to removably mount with the filter head, when the filter arrangement is secured to the filter head. The interior of the sleeve is against the exterior of the surrounding wall. A first seal member is oriented against the sleeve to create a seal with a filter head, when the filter arrangement is secured to the filter head. A filter assembly includes a filter arrangement and a filter head. The filter arrangement is removably secured to the filter head by a threaded connection between the sleeve and the filter head. A system includes an engine utilizing a liquid and a filter assembly in fluid communication with the engine to filter the liquid. Methods of making filter arrangements include utilizing structures characterized above.

Claim (Index 11):
A filter arrangement for threadably securing to a filter head, the filter arrangement comprising:\n (a) a housing having a surrounding wall defining an interior volume, an opening providing access to the interior volume, and a closed end; the opening being at an upper portion of the filter arrangement and the closed end being at a bottom portion of the filter arrangement when oriented in a first position;\n (i) the surrounding wall having an exterior and an interior; \n (ii) the surrounding wall having a lip portion extending radially outward from adjacent the opening; \n (b) a filter media construction operably held within the interior volume; (c) a first end cap secured to the filter media construction in the upper portion of the filter arrangement;\n (i) the first end cap having a radial groove; \n (ii) a seal ring positioned in the radial groove of the first end cap; \n (d) a separate sleeve distinct from the housing secured to the exterior of the surrounding wall adjacent to the housing opening and extending partially along the surrounding wall; the sleeve having an upper end, an exterior, and an interior;\n (i) the interior of the sleeve being against the exterior of the surrounding wall; \n (ii) the housing lip portion extending over the upper end of the sleeve; \n (iii) the interior of the sleeve defining a seal gland holding a seal gland member forming a radial seal between and against the sleeve and the exterior of the surrounding wall; \n (c) a first seal member oriented outside of the surrounding wall to create a seal with a filter head, when the filter arrangement is secured to the filter head; and (d) mounting threads outside of the surrounding wall constructed and arranged to removably mount with the filter head, when the filter arrangement is secured to the filter head.
