Abstract

An adhesive applied to an inner side of a bottom surface of a plate having a substantially hollow cylindrical shape with a closed bottom fixes one end of the filter material and the plate to each other. A plurality of projections located at different positions in a circumferential direction are formed on the plate, and a leading end of each of the projections comes into contact with the filter material.

First claim

The invention claimed is:

1. A filter element, comprising:
a filter material having a substantially hollow cylindrical shape that is open at both ends; and
a plate having a substantially hollow cylindrical shape with a closed bottom including a plurality of projections formed on an inner side of a bottom surface,—wherein
each of the projections has an arc shape and is disposed mutually at intervals along a circle line;
the plate covers one end of the filter material;
a leading end of each of the projections comes into contact with the filter material; and
the filter material and the plate are fixed via an adhesive, the adhesive being applied to the inner side of the bottom surface of the plate,
wherein a ridged and grooved portion having a height less than a height of each of the projections is formed on the inner side of the bottom surface of the plate.

2. A filter element, comprising:
a filter material having a substantially hollow cylindrical shape that is open at both ends; and
a plate having a substantially hollow cylindrical shape with a closed bottom including a projection which is an annular rib formed on an inner side of a bottom surface; wherein
the projection has an arc shape;
the inner side of the bottom surface of the plate has a first surface area on an inner peripheral side defined by an annular line formed by the projection greater than or equal to a second surface area on an outer peripheral side defined by the annular line formed by the projection; and
the plate covers one end of the filter material;
a leading end of the projection comes into contact with the filter material; and
the filter material and the plate are fixed via an adhesive, the adhesive being applied to the inner side of the bottom surface of the plate,
wherein a ridged and grooved portion having a height less than a height of the projection is formed on the inner side of the bottom surface of the plate.

3. The filter element according to claim 1 , wherein
the plurality of projections corresponds to an annular rib including a plurality of cutouts, and a diameter of the rib is substantially the same value as an average value between an inner diameter of the plate and an outer diameter of the plate.

4. The filter element according to claim 1 ,
wherein a central axis of the substantially hollow cylindrical shape passes through a center of the circle line.

5. The filter element according to claim 2 , wherein the projection having the arc shape is disposed along a circle line and a central axis of the substantially hollow cylindrical shape passes through a center of the circle line.
