Abstract
Filter for removing combustible particulate matter from a diesel exhaust gas stream, prior to said stream being discharged into the atmosphere. The filter includes a reinforced bed formed of a frangible filter media comprised of a mass of randomly disposed fibers. The fibrous mass is provided with a bed support member that affords the fibrous mass added physical strength, but also serves to direct hotter exhaust gases toward the peripheral cover parts of the filter casing.
