Definitions
- This invention relates to a device for built-in conditioning apparatus.
- this invention relates to a device especially suitable for being used in combination with the conditioning systems to be installed recessed in the wall and belonging to the type commonly known as "split"; the same device finds application for the embedding of conditioning apparatus in false ceilings, at doors, walk-in cupboards or spaces obtained in bookcases, or the like.
- wall or "split" conditioning apparatus is generally composed of an indoor unit and an outdoor unit, that is, the compressor that being a source of noise, is usually located outside the building.
- the indoor unit, applied to the wall, is in some cases and for purely aesthetic reasons, arranged in a container built in the wall and closed by a grid, so as to hide the indoor unit of the conditioning apparatus to sight; this for the purpose of having an even and straightforward living environment.
- Such grid is applied, by screws or other known types of constraint, to an integrated frame which is in turn constrained to the box for receiving the conditioning apparatus and fixed to the wall.
- the closing grids for wall built-in conditioning apparatus are fixed and have the drawback of preventing the air from flowing easily.
- the grid closing or covering of the box for embedding the conditioning apparatus tends to create a backflow of the conditioned air in output that returns in circulation, thus actuating the temperature probe of the apparatus, which thus senses a temperature value not matching the real one of the outside environment.
- a further drawback of conventional closing systems for wall built-in conditioning apparatus is represented by the fact that they do not allow easy maintenance of the conditioning apparatus itself; in fact, it is necessary to remove the covering grid at each inspection and/or check of the conditioning apparatus.
- US 2005/064811 A1 (D1) relates to an air circulation system with a damper unit comprising a frame defining an air flow opening, and damper vanes movable between an open and a closed position by a stepper motor directly coupled to the damper vanes.

- EP1580493 discloses an indoor unit for an air conditioning apparatus, adapted for room-ceiling mounting, which is provided with line air discharge outlets (35) extending along four sides of a casing bottom part, each said line air discharge outlet (35) being provided with a vane (38) swingable about a longitudinal axis.
- US 2 236 865 discloses a register to direct the air flow in heating and ventilating systems, such register being provided with a plurality of rotatably mounted vanes and a driving member in which any or said vanes can adjusted independently of the other.
- JP2005016862 discloses an indoor panel 2 provided with a suction port 3 and a blowout port 4, respectively provided with a suction temperature sensor 16 and a blowout temperature sensor 17 controlling air flow changing means 52 at an indoor panel 2 side.
- JP2006336925 refers to an conditioner provided with a plurality of horizontal blades 9 provided on a plurality of blowout openings 7 respectively blowing out air to change directions of blown out air while reciprocating, ad a plurality of electric motors 10 and controllers 11 for individually reciprocating said horizontal blade 9 per each blowout opening
- the object of this invention is to obviate the drawbacks mentioned hereinabove.
- the object of this invention is to provide a device for built-in conditioning apparatus which is compatible with all the conditioning systems available on the market.
- a further object of this invention is to provide a device that allows a regular flow of the conditioned air preventing a backflow of the same.
- a further object of this invention is to provide a device for built-in conditioning apparatus which allows easy maintenance and/or inspection of the conditioning apparatus itself.
- a further object of this invention is to provide the users with a device for built-in conditioning apparatus suitable for ensuring a high level of resistance and reliability over time, also such as to be easily and inexpensively constructed.

- the front cover 12, which is placed for closing the optional container body 20, may be flush with the wall or the optional frame 14 or detached (in this case, the optional container body 20 protrudes relative to the wall) according to the particular aesthetic and furnishing needs.
- the front cover 12 is hinged relative to a side of the open face of the optional container body 20, preferably the top side, so as to allow easy opening of the front cover itself for carrying out periodical maintenance and/or inspection operations of the conditioning apparatus 22.
- the front cover 12 is hinged relative to the optional frame 14 or relative to one of the outer edges of the cavity suitable for receiving the conditioning apparatus.
