ABSTRACT:
A filter element, e.g. for an oil filter, which may be annular, is formed from an elongate sheet of paper or paper-like material having elongate side edges, and strips of hot-melt adhesive are applied to extend with one strip of adhesive 10 immediately adjacent one longitudinal side edge and another strip of adhesive similarly immediately adjacent the other elongate side edge of the sheet. The sheet is then folded in concertina fashion, to form an assembly of a plurality of stacked panels 14, which are hinged at folds alternatively on one side and the other of the concertina assembly, whereafter the panels are pressed together whereby alternate pairs of adjacent panels are secured together, and whereby adhesive is squeezed beyond the ends of the secured panels to form beads 16 of adhesive. A sealing element 22 is pressed against each bead of adhesive, one at one end and one at the other end of the assembly, and heat is applied to reactivate the hot-melt adhesive and thereby secure the sealing element 22 to the assembly.
