Abstract

PURPOSE:To shorten a projecting length of a handle without damaging an operating characteristic of an air filter by a value more than a wall thickness of a minimum air filter thickness by a method wherein a projection projecting in a vertical direction toward the handle from an extreme end of the handle projecting vertically from a lower part or the lowest end of the air filter is provided and a root part of the handle is provided with holes. CONSTITUTION:A handle 2 is projected vertically from a lower part of a main body of an air filter 1 in respect to the air filter. A root part of the handle 2 is provided with a hole 3 having such a size as a finger may enter. In addition, an extreme end of the handle 2 is provided with a projection 4 projected vertically in respect to the handle 2 in an upward direction and thus it becomes possible to make a finger catch. With such an arrangement, it is possible to shorten a handle length by more than a wall thickness of the air filter without damaging an operating characteristic of the handle for the air filter.

Description

[Detailed description of the invention] Industrial applications The present invention relates to an air filter for an air conditioner.

2. Description of the Related Art Conventionally, this type of air filter has been constructed as shown in FIG.

That is, a handle 2 is provided that protrudes perpendicularly to the air filter 1 from the lower surface of the air filter 1 or from its lowest end.

Problems to be Solved by the Invention However, with such a structure, if the vertical length of the handle 2 is not long enough to hold the air filter with your fingers, it will be difficult to hold the air filter by hand. In order to improve the operability of the filter, it was necessary to make the protruding length of the handle long enough to grip it with one's fingers, and there were constraints on the shape.

Therefore, the present invention aims to reduce the length of the handle of the air filter without impairing the ease of holding the handle, thereby easing the constraints on the shape.

Means for Solving the Problems The technical means of the present invention for solving the above problems is to provide a hole at the base of the handle of the air filter, and further provide a protrusion at the tip of the handle that projects perpendicularly to the handle. It is.

action The effect of this technical means is as follows.

In other words, by making a hole at the base of the handle, it is possible to ensure the handle length of the thick bone of the air filter.
Furthermore, by providing a protrusion that projects perpendicularly to the handle at the tip of the handle, it can be easily caught on fingers, making it possible to easily hold the air filter.

As a result of the second result, the protruding length of the handle can be shortened by at least the thickness of the air filter without impairing the operability of the air filter.

Embodiment Hereinafter, one embodiment of the present invention will be described based on the accompanying drawings.

In FIG. 1, reference numeral 1 denotes an air filter body, and a handle 2 projects perpendicularly to the air filter from the lower part of the air filter body. A hole 3 into which a finger can fit is provided at the base of the handle 2. Furthermore, a protrusion 4 is provided from the tip of the handle 2 and protrudes upward perpendicularly to the handle 2, making it possible to catch a finger.

Therefore, according to this embodiment, the protruding length of the air filter handle can be reduced by more than the wall thickness of the air filter without impairing the operability of the conventional air filter handle. .

Effects of the Invention As described above, the present invention can reduce the protruding length of the air filter handle by more than the wall thickness of the air filter, and can alleviate the constraints on the shape of the conventional handle, making it easier than before. This also allows the air filter to be stored in a narrow space.
