Abstract
A filter housing includes a housing body having an openable installation opening and a housing cover to close the installation opening, and a fastening and/or locking device to secure the housing cover in a closed position. The housing body includes an element receptacle to receive a filter element through the installation opening. The fastening and/or locking device has a U-shaped bracket element with arm sections connected to a cross beam and an eccentric element mounted rotatable on the cross beam. The bracket element pivots with respect to a bracket pivot axis such that the cross beam with the eccentric element is pivotable on a side of the housing body with the installation opening. In the closed position the eccentric element engages with the housing cover and the bracket element grips the housing cover such that a part of the housing cover is between the arm sections of the bracket element.
