Abstract

A filter device, especially an intake air filter for internal combustion engines, comprises a cylindrical filter housing (1) with inlet and outlet openings (7, 6) for the medium. In the outlet opening (6), a pipe stub (11) is fixed with the aid of an elastic sleeve (12), which forms a seal between the opening edge (14) and the stub and between the stub and an intake conduit (15) coupled thereto. The pipe stub has a portion (11a) extending into the filter housing, against which portion (11a) there seals a radial seal (17) on a filter element (2) enclosed in the housing.
