Abstract

Adjustable ventilation coupling 1 for enabling air flow to/from a wall, ceiling or floor cavity of a structure, comprising adaptors 3,5 arranged to engage in use with respective external and internal vents 35,41, and connectors 7,9 which connect adaptors to air transfer duct 11 so that lateral spacing can be varied whilst maintaining adaptors in a desired orientation. Relative rotation between adaptors and air transfer duct is permitted by connectors 7,9 comprising circular male and female mating portions 17,19,27,29. Connectors 7,9 may be integral with the respective adaptors and have snap-fit connections. Duct 11 may have a non-rigid portion formed from corrugated material with concertina folds. Air flow through adaptors and connectors is perpendicular or parallel to air flow through the duct. Duct length may be varied, using telescopically mounted portions 21,23, to adjust spacing between adaptors. Each adaptor may define an air brick structure vent cavity 13,33. This coupling allows easy installation without the need for accurate positioning of the internal and external vents.

Description

AN ADJUSTABLE VENTILATION COUPLING
The present invention relates to an adjustable ventilation coupling and particularly but not exclusively relates to such a coupling for use in venting suspended flooring.
The use of suspended floors in conjunction with cavity walls in building structures requires that the void beneath the floor be ventilated to outside air to minimise the build up of gases and damp for example.
This venting is typically achieved by way of external and internal vents usually in the form of air bricks which are connected by a suitable ventilation coupling that extends between the vents usually though the wall cavity. Such couplings require accurate positioning of the external and internal air bricks in order that the coupling fits correctly.
It is typically very difficult to accurately position the internal air brick as the exact position of the external vent is not known until the external brick work is set out, this in itself not being possible until the floor is in position. Typically the inner brick/block work is constructed either without an internal air brick, or with the internal air brick in the wrong position, requiring part of the internal brick/block work to be removed and subsequently made good after positioning of the internal air brick in the correct position. This process is time consuming and messy, creates a reduced quality internal wall, and puts the operative in question at risk of hand/arm vibration.
It can also be desirable for an internal air brick to be built into the perpendicular joint of the brick/block work as that brick/block work is constructed as this avoids the need to Cut an internal air brick aperture in a brick/block as a separate process.
According to a first aspect of the invention there is provided an adjustable ventilation coupling for enabling air flow to or from a wall, ceiling or floor cavity of a structure, the coupling comprising at least two adaptors arranged to engage in use with respective external and internal vents of the structure, the coupling further comprising connectors which connect the adaptors to an air transfer duct, the arrangement of the connectors and air transfer duct being such as to enable the orientation of at least one adaptor to be varied relative to the air transfer duct so that in use of the coupling the lateral spacing between the adaptors can be varied whilst maintaining the adaptors in a desired orientation.
The connectors and air transfer duct are preferably such that they allow relative rotation between the adaptors and the air transfer duct.
Preferably the connectors comprise mating portions comprise a male formation on one mating portion adapted to be received in use in a female formation on the other mating portion.
In one embodiment, the connectors may comprise at least one circular mating portion, the adaptor being constrained by the circular mating portion so as to enable relative rotation of the adaptor.
In this embodiment the adaptor preferably also comprises a further circular mating portion adapted to mate with the circular mating portion on the respective connector.
In another embodiment the connectors provide a fixed connection between the adaptors and the air transfer duct, the air transfer duct comprising a non-rigid duct portion arranged to allow relative rotation between the adaptors and the air transfer duct such that the orientation of each adaptor relative to the air transfer duct may be varied.
Preferably the non-rigid portion is formed from corrugated material.
Preferably part of each connector is integral with the respective adaptor.
The connectors may each comprise a snap fit connection to the respective adaptors.
Preferably the adaptors, connectors and transfer duct are arranged such that air flow in use through the adaptors and connectors is substantially perpendicular to the air flow through the duct.
Preferably the adaptors and transfer duct are arranged such that the air flow, in use, through one adaptor is substantially parallel to the air flow through the other.
Preferably the length of the transfer duct can be adjusted so as to vary, in use, the longitudinal spacing between the adaptors.
The transfer duct may comprise rigid duct portions that are telescopically mounted together. The transfer duct may alternatively or additionally comprise a non rigid duct portion the length of which can be varied.
Preferably each adaptor defines a cavity in which the respective structure vent is received. Most preferably each cavity is cuboidal so as to receive an air brick.
Other aspects of the present invention may include any combination of the features or limitations referred to herein.
The present invention may be carried into practice in various ways, but embodiments will now be described by way of example only with reference to the accompanying drawings in which: Figure 1 is an exploded perspective view of an adjustable ventilation coupling in accordance with the present invention in a condition where the adaptors are not laterally spaced apart; Figures 2a and 2b are part sectional front views of the coupling of Figure 1 in a condition where the adaptors are laterally spaced apart, each condition showing the adaptors in different orientations and with different lateral spacing; Figure 3 is a sectional side view of the coupling of Figure 1 mounted in a structure which in this example is a building cavity wall; Figures 4a to c are part sectional perspective views of parts of a modified adjustable ventilation coupling in accordance with the present invention; and Figure 5 is an exploded view from the front of the modified coupling of Figure 4.
Referring initially to Figures 1 and 2, an adjustable ventilation coupling 1 comprises two adaptors 3, 5 connected via respective connectors 7, 9 to an air transfer duct 11 to form a periscope like coupling wherein air can flow into one adaptor 3, 5, through the adjacent connector 7, 9, turn 90° to flow along the duct 11 and turn 90° again to flow out through the other connector 7, 9 and adaptor 3, 5.
The adaptor 3 in this embodiment comprises an oblong housing defining a cuboidal cavity 13 dimensioned to sealingly engage with, and in this example receive, a vent (not shown) of a structure in which the coupling 1 is to be used. The vent may comprise, for example, an air brick for a building.
The adaptor 3 is integral with a female mating portion 15 forming one half of the connector 7. The female mating portion 15 comprises a circular disc provided with a peripheral rim 17, the rim 17 forming part of a snap fit connection with the other half of the connector 7.
The other half of the connector 7 comprises a male mating portion 19 integral with an upper part of the transfer duct 11. The male mating portion 19 also comprises a circular disc in the form of a boss that is received in use within the rim 17 of the female mating portion 15, the boss thus forming another part of the snap fit connection.
The transfer duct 11 in this embodiment comprises two rectangular cross section duct portions 21, 23 that are telescopically mounted together, one inside the other. The telescopic mounting thus enables the length of the duct 11 to be varied as required.
The lower duct portion 23 of the duct 11 is integral with a female mating portion 25 forming one half of the other connector 9. The female mating portion 25 comprises a circular disc provided with a peripheral rim 27, the rim 27 forming part of a snap fit connection with the other half of the connector 9.
The other half of the other connector 9 comprises a male mating portion 29 integral with the other adaptor 5. The male mating portion 29 also comprises a circular disc in the form of a boss that is received in use within the rim 27 of the female mating portion 25, the boss thus forming another part of the snap fit connection formed by the other connector 9.
The adaptor 5 comprises in this embodiment an oblong housing defining a cuboidal cavity 33 dimensioned to sealingly engage with, and in this example, receive a vent (not shown) of a structure in which the coupling 1 is to be used. The vent may comprise, for example, an air brick for a building.
In use, the coupling 1 is arranged within a structure such as a building wall, ceiling or floor cavity so to enable a venting air flow connection to.
be made between vents provided in the exterior and interior of the building.
With additional reference to Figure 3, the adaptor 3 in this example receives an external air brick 35 built into an exterior wall 37 of the building. The air transfer duct 11 extends generally downwardly inside the wall cavity 39. The other adaptor 5 receives an internal air brick 41 built into an interior wall 43 of the building. The connectors 7, 9 connect the adaptors 3, 5 to the air transfer duct 11.
The length of the air transfer duct 11 can be varied by moving the telescopically mounted rigid duct portions so as to vary the longitudinal distance between the adaptors 3, 5 so that each adaptor 3, 5 can be moved to a position adjacent the air brick 35, 41 to which it is to be aligned.
The orientation of the adaptors 3, 5 can be varied relative to the air transfer duct 11 by rotating the adaptors 3, 5 using their respective connectors 7, 9. The adaptors 3, 5 can thus be orientated to a position in which they can receive the air brick 35, 41 in question.
The lateral spacing between the adaptors 3, 5 can therefore be varied whilst still keeping the adaptors 3, 5 in the orientation required to receive the respective air bricks 35, 41, examples of this principle being illustrated in Figures 2a and 2b Thus the air transfer duct 11 could, for example be angled at 45° to the vertical when looking at the wall from the front. The longitudinal axis of each adaptor 3, 5 can then be adjusted so as to also be at 45° to the longitudinal axis of the transfer duct 11, ie so as to be horizontal or vertical as required to be aligned with the air bricks 35, 41 in question.
Referring additionally to figures 4 and 5, a modified adjustable ventilation coupling 51 comprises adaptors 3, 5 of similar structure to those described above with reference to the coupling 1.
In this embodiment, the coupling 51 comprises two connectors 57, 59 and a modified transfer duct 61.
The connector 57 comprises an oblong housing, integral with the adaptor 3, that defines a connection aperture 63 at 90° to the opening of the cavity 13 of the adaptor 3. The connection aperture 63 comprises a female mating portion into which is received a male mating portion of the connector 57 comprising an oblong boss 65 formed on one end of the duct 61.
In this embodiment, the duct 61 comprises a non-rigid duct portion formed from corrugated material arranged to concertina so as to vary the length of the duct 61.
The lower end of the duct 61 is formed with a male mating portion of the other connector 59, comprising an oblong boss 67 received in use in a female mating portion comprising an oblong aperture 69 of the other connector 59.
The other connector 59 further comprises a tapered hollow body 71 the side walls 73 of which incline inwardly from the oblong aperture 69.
The adaptor 5 is integral with a rear wall 75 of the hollow body 71 and is orthogonal to the oblong aperture 69.
The modified ventilation coupling 51 can be used as described above with reference to the coupling 1 and thus enables the orientation of the adaptors 3, 5 relative to the transfer duct 61 to be varied so as to vary the lateral spacing of the adaptors 3, 5. The longitudinal spacing of the adaptors 3, 5 can also be varied as required.
It will be appreciated that the above couplings 1, 51 enable variations and inaccuracies in the longitudinal and/or lateral position of the external and internal building air bricks to be accounted for, as well as allowing for different orientations of the air bricks. For example, the couplings 1, 51 enable air bricks to be used in a horizontal or vertical orientation or indeed any inclined orientation in between.
The air transfer ducts 11, 61 are preferably length adjustable as described above, but may be fixed in length if required.
It is envisaged that the couplings 1, 61 may be used in any desired structure which may include buildings or ships for example.
The couplings 1, 51 can be used for venting suspended floors of buildings but could be used in any other situation where venting of a void is required.
It is also envisaged that the features of the above couplings 1, 51 are readily interchangeable. For example, the circular connectors 7, 9 of the coupling 1 could be used with the coupling 51. The tapered connector 59 of the modified coupling 51 could be used with the coupling 1.
The adaptors 3, 5 can take any desired form so as to be able to sealingly engage with vents of any required type, the air bricks described above being examples of such vents only.
