Abstract

A connection (148) includes a first component, a second component, a cord member (40), a detent (52, 54), and a catch assembly (44). The first component has an opening with an inner surface (116) anda first annular groove (114) disposed about the inner surface (116). The second component has a top end (118) configured to fit in the opening. The top end (118) has an outer surface (126) with a second annular groove (124) disposed about the outer surface (126). The first annular groove (114) and the second annular groove (124) are configured to form a channel (142) in response to being disposedin cooperative alignment. The cord member (40) is configured to be removably inserted into the channel (142) to secure the first component to the second component. The detent (52, 54) is disposed on the cord member (40). The catch assembly (44) is configured to engage the detent (52, 54) and provide resistance to movement of the cord member (40) relative to the catch assembly (44).

Description

technical field [0001] This patented invention relates generally to filter assemblies, and more particularly to the connection between the base and the housing of the filter assembly. Background technique [0002] Filter assemblies are known in the art for use in various applications, such as internal combustion engines, hydraulic or pneumatic systems, and the like. These filter assemblies can be used to filter fluids in fuel systems, lube oil systems, hydraulic oil systems, air or exhaust filtration systems, and more. There are different types of filters such as canister filters, spin-on filters, etc. It is very important to service such filter assemblies at regular intervals as the filter elements in these filter assemblies can become clogged with impurities in the fluid being filtered and may need to be replaced. [0003] US Patent No. 6,726,738, entitled "Air Filter Assembly" (hereinafter "the '738 Patent") describes a filter assembly having a snap assembly to connect ...
