ABSTRACT:
The end cap (2) comprises a cylindrical gasket-type fitting formed of soft, malleable material. The end cap (2) is connected to the end of an air filter (1) with an adhesive (6). The end cap has a general “U” shaped end portion that encases one end of the air filter (1), and includes a locking tab (7). The locking tab (7) is formed on the end cap's (2) interior lip to assist in holding the end cap (2) in place. Pre-molded air filter end caps (2) are primarily designed for use in safety air filters (1) for heavy motor vehicle applications, specifically, off road vehicles such as bulldozers, bob cats, transfer trucks, and the like.
