Process for manufacturing a single component cover for oil filters for

An apparatus for manufacturing filters for motor vehicles essentially consists of a die (1, 2) in which the filtering element (9) is introduced, around which a channel (25) is formed where a movable frame (10) is lowered having a shape substantially corresponding to that of the filtering element (9), so as to define an injection cavity (27) separated from the filtering element, and an expansion cavity (28) adjacent the filtering element (9) that are communicate one another by the lifting of the movable frame (10), whereby the resin can expand and stick to the filtering element (9). The die is provided with a seal groove (3) acting as a seal gasket and is filled with synthetic resin during the expansion thereof, which resin prevents any further resin from entering the space between the die (2) and the movable frame (10).
