An exhaust gas filter for a diesel engine made by winding a composite sheet formed of a corrugated sheet and a flat sheet, the filter being provided with many narrow openings at the entrance or at the entrance and exit of the filter, wherein the area of the upstream side face is increased to deposit carbon soot on this face and on the entrance exhaust gas channels uniformly. By providing many grooves on the cell walls at the upstream direction, more carbon soot deposits in these grooves. Accordingly, the constitution permits reliable carbon soot ignition, complete carbon soot burn out with smaller quantities of carbon deposition as a whole.

1. An exhaust gas filter for r diesel engine comprising: a corrugated sheet of porous ceramic material bonded to a flat sheet of porous ceramic material which together form a composite sheet, said composite sheet being wound in overlapping layers to form a honeycomb structure containing a plurality of cell channels formed by spaces between said corrugated sheet and said flat sheet for passage of exhaust gas therethrough which extend from an upstream end to a downstream end of said honeycomb structure with respect to the direction of flow of exhaust gas through said honeycomb structure; and a plurality of plugs, each of which is fitted into either said upstream end or said downstream end of each channel, said plugs being arranged such that every other one of said channels at the upstream end thereof is filled with one of said plugs and every other one of said channels at the downstream end thereof is filled with one of said plugs, with each of said channels being open at either said upstream end or said downstream end of said honeycomb structure, said plugs being of a porous ceramic material and each of said plugs having a cross-sectional area greater than the cross-sectional area of said cell channels through which exhaust gas passes. 2. The exhaust gas filter of claim 1, wherein said channels, which have plugs in openings therein at said downstream end of said honeycomb structure, have openings at said upstream end of said honeycomb structure which are smaller in cross-sectional area than the cross-sectional area of said openings in the same channels at said downstream end of said honeycomb structure. 3. The exhaust gas filter of claim 2, where said channels, which have plugs in openings therein at said upstream end of said honeycomb structure, have openings at said downstream end of said honeycomb structure which are smaller in cross-sectional area than the cross-sectional area of said openings at said upstream end of said honeycomb structure. 4. The exhaust gas filter of claim 3, wherein walls of said channels surrounding said plugs at said downstream end of said honeycomb structure are expanded radially outwardly by said plugs to form said smaller openings at said downstream end of said honeycomb structure. 5. The exhaust gas filter of claim 2, wherein walls of said channels surrounding said plugs at said upstream end of said honeycomb structure are expanded radially outwardly by said plugs thereby forming said smaller openings at said upstream end of said honeycomb structure. 6. The exhaust gas filter of claim 1, further comprising means for igniting carbon soot deposited on said upstream end of said honeycomb structure. 7. The exhaust gas filter of claim 6, wherein said igniting means comprises a glow plug. 8. The exhaust gas filter of claim 1, wherein grooves are provided in said upstream end of said honeycomb structure whereby a larger volume of carbon soot is deposited in said grooves than on said plugs located at said upstream end of said honeycomb structure thereby facilitating ignition of said carbon soot and propagation of combustion to completely burn up said carbon soot and thus regeneration of said filter. 9. An exhaust gas filter for diesel engine comprising: a corrugated sheet of porous ceramic material bonded to a flat sheet of porous ceramic material which together form a composite sheet, said composite sheet being wound in overlapping layers to form a honeycomb structure containing a plurality of cell channels formed by spaces between said corrugated sheet and said flat sheet for passage of exhaust gas therethrough which extend from an upstream end to a downstream end of said honeycomb structure with respect to the direction of flow of exhaust gas through said honeycomb structure; and a plurality of plugs, each of which is fitted into either said upstream end or said downstream end of each channel, said plugs being arranged such that every other one of said channels at the upstream end thereof is filled with one of said plugs and every other one of said channels at the downstream end thereof is filled with one of said plugs, with each of said channels being open at either said upstream end or said downstream end of said honeycomb structure, said channels having plugs in openings therein at said downstream end of said honeycomb structure also having openings at said upstream end of said honeycomb structure which are smaller in cross-sectional area than the cross-sectional area of said openings in the same channels at said downstream end of said honeycomb structure, and said channels having plugs in openings therein at said upstream end of said honeycomb structure also having openings at said downstream end of said honeycomb structure which are smaller in cross-sectional area than the cross-sectional aea of said openings in the same channels at said upstream end of said honeycomb structure. 10. The exhaust gas filter of claim 9, wherein said plugs at said upstream end of said honeycomb structure are of a porous ceramic material. 11. The exhaust gas filter of claim 9, wherein said plugs at said downstream end of said honeycomb structure are of a porous ceramic material. 12. The exhaust gas filter of claim 9, wherein walls of said channels surrounding said plugs at said upstream end of said honeycomb structure are expanded radially outwardly by said plugs thereby forming said smaller openings at said upstream end of said honeycomb structure. 13. The exhaust gas filter of claim 9, wherein walls of said channels surrounding said plugs at said downstream end of said honeycomb structure are expanded radially outwardly by said plugs to form said smaller openings at said downstream end of said honeycomb structure. 14. The exhaust gas filter of claim 9, wherein said channels, which are open at said upstream end of said honeycomb structure, each have a tubular insert therein forming said smaller openings at said upstream end of said honeycomb structure. 15. The exhaust gas filter of claim 9, wherein said channels, which are open at said downstream end of said honeycomb struture, each have a tubular insert therein forming said smaller openings at said downstream end of said honeycomb structure. 16. The exhaust gas filter of claim 9, wherein walls of said channels surrounding said plugs at said upstream end of said honeycomb structure are thickened and thus form said smaller openings at said upstream end of said honeycomb structure. 17. The exhaust gas filter of claim 9, wherein walls of said channels surrounding said plugs at said donwstream end of said honeycomb structure are thickened and thus form said smaller openings at said downstream end of said honeycomb structure. 18. The exhaust gas filter of claim 9, wherein grooves are provided in said upstream end of said honeycomb structure whereby a larger volume of carbon soot is deposited in said grooves than on said plugs located at said upstream end of said honeycomb structure thereby facilitating ignition of said carbon soot and propagation of combustion to completely burn up said carbon soot and thus regeneration of said filter.
