Abstract
Abstract A gas filtering device in which a series of filter units are arranged parallely within a housing. Each filter unit comprises a frame about which fabric filter is wrapped to form parallel sides, thereby providing a filter pocket. The filter units are inserted into a casing through slots in a casing wall. The free edge of the filter fabric is wound around a sealing ring so as to form a welt. A sheet metal cover strip closes the open front side of each frame, clamps the welt against the casing wall at the slot edges, and this cover has a tubular connector disposed outside of the housing and affording sole access to the filter pocket.
