DETAILED DESCRIf~TION OF THE INVENTION
The support frame of the present invention is indicated generally by the numeral 10 in tree accompanying drawings. Support frame 10 is used s to hold the position of an air duct 12 in a wall 14 with respect to a floor board 16 as shown in Fig. ?. Support frame 10 is preferably fabricated from metal so that it will not burn or spread flames that may be disposed inside air duct 12. Support frame 10 is conif'igured to fit befinreen the wall studs 18 of wall 14 and center air duct 12 with respect to the duct opening l0 20 defined by floor 16. The person installing air duct 12 may thus easily p~sition the upper and lower ends of air duct 12 as shown in Fig. 10.
Support frame 10 is provided in at least two embodiments for rectangular and oval ducts as sinown in Figs. 1 and 11. Each embodiment is capable of supporting slightly different-sized ducts 12. Each embodiment is also Is adapted to substantially seal duct opening 20 to prevent air from leaking through duct opening 20 after air duct 12 is installed.
Support frame 10 includes a body 22 in the form of a thin plate.
Body 22 defines a ~:entral opening 24 adapted to receive air duct 12. As such, opening 24 t,as an outer perimeter that i:> larger than the outer 2.0 perimeter of air duct 12 so that air duct '12 may readily slide through central opening 24. Body 22 has a lengtllwise direction and opposed ends at ends 26 at opposite ends of the lerlgthwi:>e direction of body 22.
Each end 26 define) a notch 28 that is adapi:ed to receive a portion of wall stud 18. Central opening 24 is centered with respect to notches 28 2s allowing the user to properly locate central opening 24 with respect to wall studs 18 as depicted in Fig. 6. Body 22 thus extends beyond each wall stud 18 as depicted in Fig. 7 so that duct opE~ning 20 is sealed by body 22 when support frame 10 is installed. In an alternative embodiment of the EXPRESS IVIA4L NO. EV256712020US
invention, the overall length of body 22 may be reduced and notches 28 may be eliminated. In this embodiment, the person installing frame 10 determines the position of body 22 between studs 18.
Support frame 10 further includes a flange 30 that extends up from s body 22 adjacent opening 24. Flange 30 is angled inwardly with respect to opening 24 as ,shown in Figs. 2-4 and' 12-14. In the rectangular embodiment of the invention depicted in Figs. 1-4, Mange 30 is provided in the form of four flange sections 32 that are disposed on opposed sides of rectangular opening 24. As depicted in Figs. 2-4, opposed flange sections l0 32 are angled toward each other. Flange sections 32 may thus pivot with respect to body 22 to accommodate differently-sized air ducts 12. The pivoting nature of flange sections 32 also provide a biasing force against air duct 12 to dampen vibrations and to help hold air duct 12 before connectors 34 are csed to connect flange sections 32 to air duct 12. In is the oval embodiment of support frame 10 depicted in Figs. 11-14, flange 30 is continuous about opening 24. Flange 30 is angled inwardly to define a frustum as shown in Figs. 13 and 14. The angled nature of flange 30 allows flange 30 in the oval embodiment of support frame 10 to accommodate air ducts 12 of slightly differing sizes. The angled nature 2o also creates a biasing force against air duct '12 frorn flange 30 to dampen vibrations and to help hold air duct 12 in place before connectors 34 are installed. In either embodiment, flange 30 may include tabs 36 that extend from the upper end of flange 30. Tabs 36 are also angled inwardly as depicted in Fig. 14 and provide additional biasing force and adjustment 2s capabilities to support frame 10. Each flange 36 defines at least one connector opening 38 adapted to receive connector 32. In the preferred embodiment, each Connector opening 38 is adapted to receive a sheet metal screw 34 in a manner that allows they threads of the sheet metal EXPRESS MAIL NO. EV256712020US
screw to bite into tab 36. Flange 30 and tabs 36 may also be trimmed with appropriate cutters by the person installing air duct 12 if the outer dimension of air duct 12 is too large to be received by flange 30. The user may also cut slits into flange 30 to increase its flexibility if needed.
s Body 22 defines a plurality of connector openings 38 with a series of openings disposed in opposed lengthwise directions along the opposed lengthwise edges of body 22. Body 22 also defines one opening adjacent notch 28. Openings 38 may be adapted to receive sheet metal screws as described above or nails.
to Support frame 10 is used with a duct installation assembly as shown in Figs. 5-10. Fig. 5 depicts the rough opening having ~pposed wall studs 18 extending up from floor board 16 on either side of a duct opening 20. The installer may position duct 12 up through opening 20 and then slide support frame 10 down over the end air duct 12. The user may is also first install support frame 10 by positioning notches 28 about studs and securing body 22 to floor 16 with appropriate connectors in a nature of screws or nails. In ~~ome cases, body 22 may also be secured with an .
appropriate adhesive. Once support frame 10 is secured, the user may push duct 12 up through central opening 24 until air duct 12 is properly 2o positioned with respect to floor 15 and studs 18. The user may then connect flange 30 to t~ir duct 12 with connectors 34 as depicted in Fig. 7.
Figs. 7 and 8 show how support frame 10 seals opening 20 to prevent undesired airflow between different doors of the building. Fig. 10 shows how air duct 12 is securely head by support frame 10 on different floors of 2s the building.
Although the installation drawings show support frame 10 used with a rectangular duct, the same steps may be used to install an oval duct.
The oval embodiment of support frame 10 is also intended to be used with s EXPRESS MAIL NO. EV256712020US
round ducts by changing the shape of central opening 24 and flange 30.
In this application, the term oval includes shapes having straight sidewalls and curved ends as shown in Fig. 12, circular shaped, and egg or elliptical shapes.
s Body 22 may be fabricated in standard 16 inch lengths to fit between standard vvall studs 18. The 16 inch length allows support frames 10 to be used with adjacent studs without overlapping the ends of body 22. The dimensions of central opening 24 may be varied so that support frame 10 will work with different sized ducts 12. Central opening io 24 should remain centered between .the ends and sides of body 22 regardless of the dimensions of central opening 24.
In the foregoing description, - certain terms have been used for brevity, clearness, arad understanding. 1Vo ur'necessary limitations are to be implied therefrom beyond the requirement of the prior art because such is terms are used for descriptive purposes and are intended to be broadly construed.
