Abstract
A filter cartridge for a liquid is designed to be removably received in a housing and comprises a tubular filter element of zig-zag folded paper having two ends that are secured to two respective flexible washers. The cartridge does not have any central reinforcement of its own and its washers co-operate directly for sealing purposes with appropriate annular bearing surfaces of a perforated rigid tube that is included in the housing: the cartridge is therefore easily discarded or degraded after use.
