Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a kit for installing an anti-odour filter in a hood and to a domestic hood according to the preamble to claim 1, and also to a method for installing an anti-odour filter in a domestic hood according to the preamble of claim 12.
  • an anti-odour filter of known type comprises a box-shaped body, generally parallelepiped-shaped.
  • the box-shaped body has a pair of opposite breathable surfaces, between which there is defined a containment compartment for filtering material such as for example, activated carbons or other elements capable of filtering the organic compounds (VOC) responsible for spreading bad odours.
  • VOC organic compounds
  • the modular filters already known provide making corresponding hoods, which are to have a housing for the filter having sizes that are compatible with the modules, that is to say having as a size a whole multiple of the corresponding sizes of the modules.
  • This is the case of the Pellegrini document which, in paragraph 36, teaches to shape a wall of the housing for the filter so as to be able to engage with the modular elements defining the filter itself.
  • the technical task at the basis of the present invention is to propose a kit for installing an anti-odour filter in a domestic capturing hood which overcomes the above-mentioned drawbacks of the known technique.
  • a first embodiment of the present invention relates to a hood comprising a filter holder.
  • Such filter holder has a seat configured to house a predetermined number of modular elements.
  • Each modular element comprises a box-shaped body, which defines a containment compartment for an absorbing element.
  • the box-shaped body has a first and a second breathable surface opposite to each other and permeable to air.
  • the box-shaped body comprises a first and a second edge substantially parallel to each other.
  • the first edge is configured to adhere to a second edge of another modular element.
  • Said second edge is configured to adhere to a first edge of another modular element.
  • the first edge has at least one male connector configured to be inserted into a female connector of another modular element.
  • the second edge has at least one female connector configured to receive a male connector of another modular element.
  • the seat of the filter holder has a first inner wall having at least one female connector for receiving a male connector of a modular element.
  • the seat also has a second inner wall opposite to the first inner wall.
  • the second inner wall has at least one male connector to be inserted into the female connector of a modular element.
  • a second embodiment of the invention relates to a kit for installing an anti-odour filter in a hood.
  • kit comprises an anti-odour filter comprising a predetermined number of modular elements.
  • the kit also comprises a filter holder having a seat configured to house the anti-odour filter made starting from the modular elements.
  • a third embodiment of the invention relates to a method for installing an anti-odour filter in a domestic hood.
  • Such method comprises the steps of providing a predetermined number of modular elements and of providing a domestic hood.
  • a filter holder is also provided, having a seat configured to house the anti-odour filter.
  • the predetermined number of modular elements is juxtaposed in such a manner that a first edge of at least one modular element is adjacent to and in contact with a second edge of another modular element and that a second edge is adjacent to and in contact with a first edge of another modular element.
  • the first edge is therefore constrained to the second edge of another modular element, while the second edge is constrained to the first edge of another modular element by means of engagement means so as to make the predetermined number of modular elements integral with one other and to assemble the anti-odour filter.
  • the anti-odour filter is then inserted into the seat of the filter holder and then into the capturing hood.
  • the devices and the method according to the invention resolve the technical problem because they make possible a universal modular system adaptable to any model of hood. Indeed, the user may autonomously assemble filters of different sizes using an appropriate number of modular elements. To insert such filters into existing hoods, it is sufficient to provide a filter holder having outer sizes compatible with the hood model desired. The seat of the filter holder instead has sizes compatible with the modular system.
  • male and female connectors allows holding the edges of the modular elements in contact between one another, thus avoiding the creation of a passageway for the air which, in addition to not being filtered, would increase the noisiness of the hood.
  • 1 indicates a modular element for assembling anti-odour filters 100 ( Figure 4 ) for domestic hoods, both capturing or filtering hoods.
  • the element 1 comprises a box-shaped body 2, which defines a containment compartment 3.
  • Activated carbons (not shown) or any other absorbing/filtering element may be inserted into the containment compartment 3 to perform a filtering action.
  • the box-shaped body 2 has a first 4 and a second breathable surface 5 opposite to each other and permeable to air.
  • the box-shaped body 2 comprises a first 6 and a second edge 7 substantially parallel to each other. Further parallel edges 10 join the first 6 and the second edge 7. In particular, the further edges 10 are perpendicular to the first 6 and to the second edge 7.
  • box-shaped body 2 preferably has the shape of an elongated parallelepiped.
  • the prevailing size, or length, is defined along the development direction of the first 6 and of the second edge 7.
  • the depth, which is less than the length, is defined along the development direction of the further edges 10.
  • the height, which is less than the depth, is defined along the direction perpendicular to the breathable surfaces 4, 5.
  • the further edges 1 have a linear length which is less than the linear length of the first 6 and of the second edge 7 so that the box-shaped body 2 takes on a parallelepiped configuration with a rectangular base.
  • first breathable surface 4 is defined by a grid 11 made integral with the edges 6, 7 and preferably with the further edges 10.
  • the second breathable surface 5 is defined by a breathable cloth 12.
  • Such cloth 12 is for example, associated with the edges 6, 7 by means of heat-sealing and preferably with the further edges 10.
  • the first edge 6 is configured to adhere to a second edge 7 of another modular element 1.
  • the second edge 7 is configured to adhere to a first edge 6 of another modular element 1.
  • edges 6, 7 of the respective modular elements 1 are juxtaposed with respect to one another so that they are in surface contact with one another.
  • Such surface contact is closed so as to avoid gaps between the respective edges 6 and 7, which are harmful for the filtering performance and for the noise caused by the sucked air passing through such gaps.
  • this allows anti-odour filters 100 having different sizes to be formed by assembling a predetermined number of modular elements 1 with one another.
  • the modular element 1 comprises constraining means which in a preferred embodiment, are made integral with the respective edges 6, 7.
  • such constraining means comprise at least one male connector 8 and one female connector 9.
  • the male connector 8 is arranged on the first edge 6, while the female connector 9 is arranged on the second edge 7.
  • the male connector 8 is configured to be inserted into the female connector 9 of another modular element 1.
  • the female connector 9 is configured to receive the male connector 8 of another modular element 1.
  • Such constraining means allow making a plurality of modular elements 1 integral with one another.
  • the modular element 1 comprises two male connectors 8 and therefore, two female connectors 9.
  • the number of male connectors 8 is equal to the number of female connectors 9.
  • the mutual spacing between the male connectors 8 and the distribution thereof along the first edge 6 is equal to the mutual spacing between the female connectors 9 and the distribution of the female connectors along the second edge 7.
  • each female connector 9 comprises a recess 13 made in the second edge 7.
  • the recess 13 has a bottom wall 14 parallel to the development direction of the second edge 7.
  • the recess 13 also has a pair of side walls 15 perpendicular to the development direction of the second edge 7.
  • the recess 13 also has an abutment surface 16 which substantially lies on the same plane as the first breathable surface 4.
  • each male connector 8 comprises a pair of fins 17 which protrude from the first edge 6.
  • Such fins 17 are configured to interfere with the side walls 15 of the recess 13.
  • the fins 17 slightly diverge from one another so that the insertion thereof into the recess 13 requires a slight forcing capable of elastically deforming them. Once they are inserted into the recess 13, the fins 17 exert a pressure against the side walls 15.
  • Each male connector 8 also has a projection 18 which protrudes externally from the first edge 6. Such projection 18 is arranged between the fins 17. Both the projection 18 and the fins 17 substantially develop along the whole height of the first edge 6. It is also worth noting that the projection 18 and the fins 17 are provided to abut against the abutment surface 16 of the recess 13.
  • the constraining means materialize in mechanical joining members which are distinct and separate from the respective edges 6 and 7.
  • Such mechanical joining members are for example, shaped like holding clips which engage the edges 6 and 7 of the respective modular elements 1 to make them integral with one another.
  • the modular element 1 comprises at least one reinforcing rib 19 placed in the containment compartment 3.
  • Such rib 19 is connected to the first 6 and to the second edge 7.
  • such rib 19 is perpendicular to the edges 6, 7 and consequently, parallel to the further edges 10.
  • the rib 19 is made integral with the edges 6, 7 and with the first breathable surface 4.
  • the modular element 1 comprises a plurality of parallel ribs 19 and even more preferably, spaced at a same distance from one another.
  • a domestic hood 20 is also part of the present invention.
  • hood 20 comprises a filter holder 21 which has a seat 22 configured to house a predetermined number of modular elements 1 as described above.
  • the seat 22 is sized in such a manner as to house a predetermined number of modular elements 1.
  • Figure 4 shows that the seat 22 of the filter holder 21 may house six modular elements 1 made integral with one another.
  • the seat 22 has a first inner wall 22a having at least one female connector 23 to be coupled with a shape coupling with the male connector 8 of a modular element 1.
  • the seat 22 also has a second inner wall 22b, opposite to the first inner wall 22a, and having at least one male connector 24 to be coupled with a shape coupling with the female connector 9 of a modular element 1.
  • the connectors 23, 24 of the seat 22 are made in a similar manner to the connectors 8, 9 of the modular element 1.
  • the filter holder 21 may be removed from the hood 20, taking with it the modular elements 1.
  • the air that flows inside the hood 20 passes through the modular elements 1 inserted in the filter holder 21 since there are no gaps between the various modular elements, in particular the sucked air passes through the first 4 and the second 5 breathable surfaces.
  • the air is then purified by a filter element, generally activated carbon, placed inside the containment compartment 3.
  • a filter element generally activated carbon
  • the user who wants to install an anti-odour filter 100 in a domestic hood 20 is required to perform a step of juxtaposing the predetermined number of modular elements 1 such that the first edge 6 is adjacent to and in surface contact with the second edge 7 of another modular element 1 and such that said second edge 7 is adjacent to and in contact with a first edge 6 of another modular element 1.
  • Such step is to be repeated as many times as there are modular elements 1 requiring coupling with one another.
  • the user then must perform a step of constraining the first edge 6 to the second edge 7 of another modular element 1 and the second edge 7 to the first edge 6 of another modular element 1 by means of engagement means so as to make the predetermined number of modular elements integral with one other.
  • the user is to perform a step of inserting the predetermined number of modular elements made integral with one another into the seat 22 of the filter holder 21, and a step of inserting the filter holder 21, bringing with it the predetermined number of modular elements made integral with one another, into the hood 20.
