ABSTRACT:
An air filter housing including top and bottom housing portions joined by a catch. The housing portions each include a plurality of walls joined together to define an enclosure with and opening circumscribed by an edge. The edge of each portion includes a surface for contacting a seal disposed between the surfaces when the housing portions are joined to form the filter housing. The portions are joined by a hinge assembly and a catch which extends along a side of the filter housing to compress the seal between the portions to form a generally air tight seal therebetween. Typically the seal is integral with a filter element which is in an air flow path between openings in the housing portions.
