Abstract
A fluid filter comprises a tubular canister having a contaminated fluid inlet and a filtered fluid outlet. A one piece, replaceable, multiple inlet element is inserted into the canister, the element including a tube having a plurality of axially spaced apart containers mounted serially therealong, each of the containers having a closed bottom connected to the tube and an open top. A filter element is supplied in each of the containers and foraminous means space the filter element from the bottom of the containers to form a chamber therebetween. Ports in the tube communicate with the chamber and a seal is effected between the outlet of the canister and the tube, while fluid communication is provided between the inlet and the open tops of the containers whereby fluid flow between the inlet and the outlet takes place through the filter elements. The purpose of this abstract is to enable the public and the patent office to determine rapidly the subject matter of the technical disclosure of the application. This abstract is neither intended to define the invention of the application nor is it intended to be limiting as to the scope thereof.
