Abstract
An apparatus for removing soot from the exhaust gases of an internal combustion engine with the aid of a winding filter (surface filter) that is disposed on a support member. In order to burn off the soot in a controlled manner, this filter insert is provided with an appropriate electrode configuration. To simplify the electrode arrangement, and to improve the degree of soot deposition, the support member is designed as a wound or wrapped cage that undertakes the electrode arrangement, and untwisted roving threads, which are wound parallel to the periphery, i.e. at right angles to the axis of the wound cage, are used for forming the wrap structure.
