Filtration System

View page
US Patent:
20130240431, Sep 19, 2013
Filed:
Mar 16, 2012
Appl. No.:
13/422657
Inventors:
Lori Foix - Inver Grove Haights MN, US
Michael L. Sherman - Woodbury MN, US
Steven J. Haehn - Oakdale MN, US
Erik Robert Klimpel - Woodbury MN, US
David William Fisher - Eagan MN, US
David T. Bardwell - Woodbury MN, US
Steven Karl Wilson - Pine City MN, US
James Boyer Larson - Stillwater MN, US
Stephen P. Huda - Shelton CT, US
Frank A. Brigano - Northford CT, US
Assignee:
KX Technologies Inc. - West Haven CT
International Classification:
B01D 35/30
US Classification:
210232
Abstract:
The present invention presents a filtration system with an integrated manifold valve. The filtration system employs only one pivotal component—the pivoting of the manifold. The manifold valve includes a dual aperture design for a two-fold alignment scheme with the ingress and egress lines of the fluid source. The invention is free of multi-component rotary valve with internal, rotatable parts, or an activation component, such as a handle, for initiating the rotary valve, allowing the user to rotate the rotational components thereof. The reduction in moveable components in this design reduces the likelihood of failure and increases the reliability of the filtration system.

Filter Housing With Filter Key Attachment

US Patent:
20220370934, Nov 24, 2022
Filed:
Jul 28, 2022
Appl. No.:
17/876171
Inventors:
- West Haven CT, US
Michael J. Sherman - Woodbury MN, US
Steven J. Haehn - Oakdale MN, US
Erik R. Klimpel - Woodbury MN, US
International Classification:
B01D 29/96
B01D 17/00
Abstract:
A filter assembly for fluid filtration having a push-activated lock and release mechanism. A push filter design activates a filter key lock upon insertion and extraction, where the filter key may be used simultaneously as a lock and as an identifier for particular filter attributes. The filter housing assembly may be attached to, and removed from, a filter base by a push-actuated release. Upon insertion, the filter key shifts the filter lock longitudinally to receive interlocking segments. Upon extraction, the same axial push shifts the filter lock further to align the interlocking fingers within gaps that allow for easy extraction. The specific key lock design allows a user to identify and match certain filter configurations received by the mechanical support, and reject other filter configurations.

International Classification:
B01D 35/14
B01D 35/30
B01D 29/96
Abstract:
A filter housing assembly for fluid filtration which may be attached to, and removed from, a filter base by a push-actuated release. The filter housing assembly has a top portion with an ingress port and egress port extending therefrom, and a protrusion extending from the filter housing longitudinally axial center. The ingress and egress port are formed in an hourglass shape. A filter key having a base with a groove for mating with said projection, at least one finger extending from said base, and an electronic circuit component housing attached thereto for receiving a printed circuit board, is connected to the filter housing top portion by mating said top portion protrusion with the filter key groove. Both of said ingress and egress port have at least one cavity for the passage of fluid therethrough, where each cavity is exposed in a direction facing away from the printed circuit board.

US Patent:
20210308607, Oct 7, 2021
Filed:
Jun 17, 2021
Appl. No.:
17/350342
Inventors:
- Woodbury MN, US
Michael J. Sherman - Woodbury MN, US
Steve Wilson - Pine City MN, US
James B. Larson - Stillwater MN, US
Erik Klimpel - Woodbury MN, US
Richard A. Kirchner - Apple Valley MN, US

Jeff Ehlers - Woodbury MN, US
International Classification:
B01D 35/30
B01D 61/08
C02F 9/00
Abstract:
A modular filtration platform having at least one manifold head and at least one respective filter cartridge assembly. Each manifold head is connected to one another to establish a water flow in a series or parallel manner. Each filter cartridge assembly is releasably secured from rotation relative to the manifold head by a locking mechanism. An aperture on the filter cartridge assembly annular collar mates with a protruding resilient extension on either the manifold head or support bracket. Alternatively, an aperture on the filter cartridge assembly annular collar and an aperture on the manifold head annular collar mate with a protruding member from a locking ring extending through both apertures. An integrated sensor package may be integrated with the system for true managed water visible/audible indications and Wi-Fi interface to facilitate virtually instantaneous response times for filtration needs.

Filed:
Oct 28, 2020
Appl. No.:
17/082827
Inventors:
- West Haven CT, US
Michael J. Sherman - Woodbury MN, US
Steven J. Haehn - Oakdale MN, US
Erik R. Klimpel - Woodbury MN, US
International Classification:
B01D 35/14
B01D 29/96
B01D 35/30
Abstract:
A filter assembly for fluid filtration having a push-activated lock and release mechanism. A push filter design activates a floating key lock upon insertion and extraction, where the filter key may be used simultaneously as a lock and as an identifier for particular filter attributes. The filter base may be situated inline, and in fluid communication, with influent and effluent piping, such as within a refrigerator. The filter housing assembly may be attached to, and removed from, the filter base by a push-actuated release. Upon insertion, the filter key shifts the filter lock longitudinally to receive interlocking segments. Upon extraction, the same axial push shifts the filter lock further to align the interlocking fingers within gaps that allow for easy extraction. The specific key lock design allows a user to identify and match certain filter configurations received by the mechanical support, and reject other filter configurations.

International Classification:
B01D 29/96
B01D 17/00
Abstract:
A reverse osmosis filter assembly for fluid filtration having a push-activated lock and release mechanism. A push filter design activates a floating key lock upon insertion and extraction, where the filter key may be used simultaneously as a lock and as an identifier for particular filter attributes. The filter base may be situated inline, and in fluid communication, with the raw water ingress, permeate egress, and reject water egress. The reverse osmosis filter housing assembly may be attached to, and removed from, the filter base by a push-actuated release. Upon insertion, the filter key shifts the filter lock longitudinally to receive interlocking segments. Upon extraction, the same axial push shifts the filter lock further to align the interlocking fingers within gaps that allow for easy extraction. The specific key lock design allows a user to identify and match certain filter configurations received by the mechanical support, and reject other filter configurations.
