Abstract
The air conditioner has a heat sources and an air pressurisation source which can be controlled quickly to allow a small air space to be brought to a desired temperature rapidly. In Fig 1 warm air from a blower c, d, exits via a nozzle a, which may be positioned for example at the foot of a bed, the air entering between the mattress and the cover. In another embodiment the warm air may enter at the foot of a bag which envelopes a seated person. <IMAGE>
Description
CONFINED ENVIRONMENT AIR CONDITIONER
This invention relates to a Confined Environment Air Conditioner.
The heating of beds by various means has been a normal practice for hundreds of years.
Methods ranging from wenches, warming pans, hot stones, hot water bottles, and latterly, electric blankets have been employed.
With the advent of central heating our general environment has become more comfortable but many people prefer not to use bedroom radiators, while enjoying the entry into a warm bed.
The present invention provides a prompt flow of controlled temperature air to the envelope formed by the lower mattress and the duvet above.
Warm air pressure will cause the duvet to rise slightly and allow the air to spread over the mattress surface and expel through natural outlets at the bed head, thereby raising the temperature of the bed over most of its area.
Set out below is an example with reference to the accompanying drawing in which:
Figure 1 - shows two views of the Air Conditioner.
Figure 2 - shows a view of the Air Conditioner in its permanent
position attached to the bed.
Figure 3 - shows a view of the Air Conditioner adapted for chair-bound
elderly people using a special envelope.
Figure 4 - shows a view of a hand-held controller for people of
sick or feeble disposition.
Figure - shows a view of standard control console.
Referring to the drawing - Fig. 1
The Air Conditioner comprises: (a) Nozzle (b) Upper outer sleeve (c) Lower inner sleeve containing heating elements (d) Motor mounting within floor standing base
complete with air intake and filter unit
Fig. 2 - shows the Air Conditioner with the upper outer sleeve (b)
adjusted to correct height.
Note that the nozzle (a) sits snuggly just at the upper
edge of the top mattress.
The shape of the nozzle is such to allow the duvet to be
supported away from the mattress in order for air flow
to be maintained.
By switching the unit on using the portable control console
to select the required temperature and air flow rate, (Fig.5),
air is drawn in through the intake and filter unit. Once
air flow has been established then the heat sources is
allowed to operate and the air flow temperature is increased
to its designed level.
Fig. 3 - shows an adaptation of above for use with chair envelope
where an elderly person can rapidly and cheaply enjoy the
available warmth.
Fig. 4 - shows a hand-held safety controller for use with above.
