Abstract:
A gas filter is formed from two uniformly spaced nesting screens extending along a serpentine path, with the space between them filled with granular filtering material. Each screen has laterally spaced areas curved in one direction lengthwise of the serpentine path and alternating with laterally spaced areas curved in the opposite direction and integrally joined thereto to thereby provide the screen with a continuous curvature from end to end of the serpentine path.
