Abstract

A filter device having a filter element which has at least one end disk (19) having axially extending elevations (20) configured in the form of at least one recognizable character, in which the elevations correspond in configuration to passages (35-37) through an intermediate element (23). Behind the intermediate element there is an element (24) which faces the housing (10) of the filter unit and is provided with axially projecting appendages (30, 31) which extend into the passages (35-37) of the intermediate element (23). Intermediate element (23) and element (24) are axially movably mounted on a central mandrel (17), and the appendages (30, 31) can be pushed axially by the filter element (12) out of the passages (35-27) of the intermediate element (23) so that intermediate element (23) and element (24) can rotate relative to each other and move axially and the filter element can be moved to its fully installed position.
