The fume-exhaust hose 4 has one end connected to the throi transparent hood 3 and the other end connected to the filter boN The filter box 5 is provided with an air Inlet 50 disposed at or connecting the other end of the fume-exhaust hose 4 and disposed at the other side thereof for connecting one end of an whose the other end is connected with the air-suction motor 6.

The air-suction motor 6 capable of being connected with a conti power-supply cord 60 has one side connected with an air-exhau other side connected with the air-suction tube After the fixing base 1, the filter box 5 and the air-suction motor secured to a wall, the transparent hood 3 is assembled wit assembly 2 in suspension ready for use.

In using, referring to Figs. 1 and 2, firstly a user can adjust t# transparent hood 3 to correspond the positions of a cooking stovi vessel 8 only by holding the handle 30 of the transparent hood 3 move the transparent hood 3. When the transparent hood connection assembly 2 is movable by having the swivel arm 21 the fixing base I and the connecting rod 23 swiveled around the a position below the swivel arm 21. Moreover, by the pivotal co swivelpivot 22, the connecting rod 23 is allowed to rotate upwar< In such way, the transparent hood 3 can be moved to any requir to be positioned at a proper distance above the cooking ves Figs. 2, 3 and 4.
