A device for filtering a fluid, particularly a molten plastic, with a fluid-supplying canal and a fluid-draining canal is described, whereby two plate-like filters are movably arranged in and across the flow direction of the fluid to be filtered between the fluid-supplying canal and the fluid-draining canal. Hereby the fluid-supplying canal (4) is connected with the fluid-draining canal (5) by a single connecting canal (6). This single connecting canal (6) comprises a funnel-shaped extension (13) taking up the at least two filters (7, 8), whereby the at least two filters (7, 8) are simultaneously movable between a first position in which the at least two filters (7, 8) filter the fluid and a second position in which at least one filter (7; 8) of the at least two filters (7, 8) is superfused in the opposite flow direction (14) of the fluid during the filtering process, whereas the other filter (7; 8), respectively the other filters, filters, respectively filter, the fluid, whereby in this second position of the at least two filters (7, 8) the fluid can be drained out of the device into the atmosphere.

[ I claim:] [1.] A device for filtering a fluid, comprisinga housing,a single fluid supplying canal and a fluid draining canal in said housing,a single connecting canal which connects said fluid supplying canal to said fluid draining canal so that said fluid to be filtered flows in a flow direction from said fluid supplying canal to said fluid draining canal through said connecting canal,at least first and second substantially flat filters movably arranged in said single connecting canal and across said flow direction,said connecting canal comprising a funnel-shaped extension which receives said first and second filters,said first and second filters being simultaneously movable between a first position in which said single connecting channel communicates with said fluid draining channel and said fluid is filtered by said first and second filters, and a second position in which said single connecting channel still communicates with said fluid draining channel and said fluid is filtered by one of said filters while the other of said filters is superfused with said fluid in an opposite flow direction,wherein in said second position, the portion of said fluid which passes through the other of said filters in said opposite flow direction is drained from said device through a drain channel,wherein said connecting canal is arranged in a cylindrical bolt, said cylindrical bolt is disposed fluid-tight in a housing bore which extends vertically to said flow direction of said fluid, said connecting canal extends through the entire diameter of said bolt, said filters are movably supported and located on said bolt, and said bolt is movable across said flow direction of said fluid so that said filters can be moved between said first and second positions by shifting of said bolt.
