Abstract
An air filter, particularly for ventilating the interior of motor vehicles, is provided. The air filter includes a housing having an unfiltered-air inlet and a clean-air outlet, as well as a filter medium folded in an accordion-like shape. The filter medium is arranged in a filter insert which has a surrounding seal. An adapter is integrated in the housing and also includes a surrounding sealing device to provide an effective seal between the unfiltered-air and clean-air sides of the housing. The filter insert is arranged in the adapter and is fixed in position via a cover flap of the housing.
