A filter insert which is insertable in a sealing manner into a filter housing includes an accordion fold pack whose end walls extend perpendicularly with respect to the longitudinal direction of the filter pack. Each of the end walls is surrounded in a sealing manner by a shape-stabilizing, clamp-shaped reinforcing element, each of the reinforcing elements being integrally formed in one piece with a gasket. The gasket is capable of being placed, in a sealing manner under elastic prestressing, against the adjacent housing wall of the filter housing.

Filter insert

An accordion filter pack that is bendable in only one direction and is made of a flexible filter medium, the folds of which are capped in the lateral direction at both ends by a flexible sealing strip and which can be sealed by the sealing strip with respect to a housing. The accordion filter pack is joined on its longitudinal sides to a least one reinforcing element. The reinforcing element is joined to the sealing strip and consists of a flat, flexible planar structure that extends transversely to the openings of the folds.
