A filter element for a filtering device used for filtering a fluid may include an annular filter body including a web-like, folded filter material, the filter body enclosing an inner space in the circumferential direction. The filter element may include an inner frame arranged on an inner side of the filter body facing the inner space. The inner frame may have a least one radially outwardly projecting and axially extending alignment strip arranged between two adjacent folds in the filter material in the circumferential direction. The at least one alignment strap may bear against the two adjacent folds. The inner frame may include a flow sleeve or may be configured as a flow sleeve.

Filter element and filter device

A fresh air line for a fresh air system may include a tubular body enclosing a fresh air path in a circumferential direction. At least one annular adsorber element arranged coaxially in the tubular body. The fresh air line may also include at least one resonance chamber arranged radially between the tubular body and the adsorber element.

Fresh air line

A coupling device may include a first cylindrical connecting body and a second cylindrical connecting body having a retaining ring rotatably mounted thereon and moveable between a locking position and an unlocking position. A detent device may have at least one detent formed on the retaining ring and at least one counter detent formed on the second cylindrical connecting body with which the detent interlocks upon reaching the locking position. The detent may have a detent arm arranged on the retaining ring and configured to be spring-elastic in the radial direction. The counter detent may have a detent opening which is formed in a collar enclosing the retaining ring and in which the detent arm radially engages upon reaching the locking position so as to be supported on an edge of the detent opening in order to be rotatably secured in the circumferential direction.

A connection device may include an insertion section having an annular outer groove. A housing may be configured to receive the insertion section. A blocking element may be configured to lock the insertion section in the housing, wherein the blocking element may engage the annular outer groove and an annular inner groove formed in the housing. The blocking element may also be configured to be withdrawn through a housing opening substantially tangentially to the grooves and to be pre-fitted in the inner groove and in a pre-fitted state. The blocking element may engage the outer groove and be fixed on the housing securing it against a displacement in a peripheral direction. A securing device may be arranged on an exterior of the housing for securing of the blocking element against displacement at least in the withdrawal direction.
