[ We claim:] [1.] A filter arrangement comprising a filter head and a filter body defining an axis, the filter head being provided with components slidably cooperable with components provided on the filter body to permit the filter body to slide with respect to the filter head in a lateral direction of the axis of the filter body between a first, disengaged position in which the filter body and filter head are separate, and a second, operative position in which the filter body is in sealing engagement with the filter head, and wherein the components of the filter body and the filter head are shaped to include first and second ramped regions, said first part of said ramped regions allows relative movement between the head and body in which seal means are spaced from an opposed surface allowing reduced forces to cause relative movement between the head and the body and a second part of said ramped regions in which the body moves laterally and towards the head to compress the seal means therebetween.
