Abstract:
A filter element has a zigzag-folded filter medium. Filter medium sections joined by a fold edge define an intermediate fold space, respectively, with a fold base and fold peaks opposite the fold base. An elongate support section is arranged in the intermediate fold space on a filter medium surface of one of the filter medium sections. The support section extends perpendicular to the fold edges between fold base and fold peak. The support section has a height extension perpendicular to the filter medium surface that increases in longitudinal direction of the support section from fold base to fold peak. The support section has a free side facing away from the filter medium surface. The support section has a width extension parallel to the fold edges. The width extension decreases parallel to the filter medium surface and perpendicular to the longitudinal direction from fold peak to fold base.

Claim (Index 16):
The method according to  claim 1 , wherein\n a pair of adjacent fold edges divide the filter medium into a respective filter medium section bordered by the pair of adjacent folded edges; wherein, in the step of moving the nozzle, the elongated support section is formed to have two legs:\n a first leg arranged directly on a respective first filter medium section, the elongated support section extending across a first fold peak bordering the respective filter medium section and continuing to the second leg arranged directly on an adjacent second filter medium section also bordered by the first fold peak; \n wherein the elongated support section stops before and is spaced away from the fold bases bordering the first and second filter medium sections.
