Abstract

The present invention provides a connection adapter for use with a flexible or rigid conduit that fluidingly interconnects an intake or exhaust port of a ventilation unit and a conduit. The adapter comprises a unit coupler (10) having a central portion (60)with an aperture (70)and an elongated sleeve (80) aligned with the aperture (70) and extending from the central portion (60).
The unit coupler (10) can be secured to a port of a ventilation unit such that the elongated sleeve (80) projects through a port into the casing of the ventilation unit. The adapter also comprises a conduit coupler (20) having a central portion (100) with an aperture (110) and an inner elongated sleeve (120) extending from the central portion (100)that is aligned with the aperture (110) of the conduit coupler (20).

Claims (10)

1. A connection adapter for use with a flexible or rigid conduit that fluidingly interconnects with an intake or exhaust port of a ventilation unit and a conduit, the adapter comprising:
(a) a unit coupler having a central portion with an aperture, a perimeter region and an elongated sleeve extending from the central portion and aligning with the aperture;
(b) a conduit coupler having a central portion with an aperture, a perimeter region and an inner elongated sleeve extending from the central portion and aligning with the aperture of the conduit coupler and the conduit coupler having an outer elongated sleeve extending from the central portion in the same direction as the inner sleeve;
(c) interconnecting means on the unit coupler and the conduit coupler which mate thereby enabling interconnection;
(d) securing means for securing the unit coupler to the conduit coupler wherein the conduit coupler is easily connected or disconnected to the unit coupler once the securing means is removed.
2. A connection adapter as described in claim 1 wherein the interconnection means is comprised of flanges positioned on the perimeter region of the unit coupler and a lip portion positioned on the perimeter region of the conduit coupler.
3. A connection adapter as described in claim 1 wherein the elongated sleeve of the unit coupler has a funnel shape.
4. A connection adapter as described in claim 1 wherein the inner and outer elongated sleeves of the conduit coupler have funnel shapes.
5. A connection adapter as described in claim 1 wherein the inner and outer elongated sleeves of the conduit coupler have rippled surfaces.
6. A connection adapter as described in claim 1 wherein the inner elongated sleeves of the conduit coupler has protrusions on its surface.
7. A connection adapter as described in claim 1 wherein the inner and outer elongated sleeves of the conduit coupler are not perpendicular to the interconnecting means surface.
8. A connection adapter as described in claim 1 wherein the securing means are screws.
9. A connection adapter as described in claim 1 wherein an insulation material may be positioned in a space between a first conduit attached to the inner elongated sleeve of the conduit coupler and an outer barrier attached to the outer elongated sleeve of the conduit coupler.
10. A connection adapter for use with a flexible or rigid conduit that fluidingly interconnects with an intake or exhaust port of a ventilation unit and a conduit, the adapter comprising:
(a) a unit coupler having a central portion with an aperture, a perimeter region and an elongated sleeve extending from the central portion and aligning with the aperture;
(b) a conduit coupler having a central portion with an aperture, a perimeter region and an inner elongated sleeve extending from the central portion and aligning with the aperture of the conduit coupler and the conduit coupler having an outer elongated sleeve extending from the central portion in the same direction as the inner sleeve;
(c) interconnecting means comprised of flanges positioned on the perimeter region of the unit coupler and a lip portion positioned on the perimeter region of the conduit coupler;
(d) securing means for securing the unit coupler to the conduit coupler wherein the conduit coupler is easily connected or disconnected to the unit coupler once the securing means is removed.
