The tubular element (20) is provided adjacent the downstream end of the rod (12). The downstream segment of filter material (24) is downstream of the tubular element (20) and spaced apart from the tubular element (20) to define a cavity (26) between the tubular element (20) and the downstream segment of filter material (24).
