Abstract
An air-filter device for a motor vehicle, having a casing and a filtering body separating the clean and dirty compartment, and also having a supporting body for the filtering body and a compression body designed to co-operate mechanically with the supporting body, these bodies being mounted in the manner of sliding drawers in an intermediate mounting compartment; the contact surfaces in mutual sliding bearing of the support and compression bodies are inclined in such a way that the forced stress position leading to a compression of the seal of the filtering body is achieved by displacement of the compression body in the direction of extraction and in that the control device, bringing about this displacement, stresses the supporting body and/or the casing in order to achieve the displacement of the compression body in a forced stress position, at least at the end of displacement.
