Stair, York, Pa., assignor to York Corporation, York, Pa., a corporation of Delaware Application December 8, 1950, Serial No. 199,834
6 Claims. (01. 98-40) v v This invention relates to discharge louvers for units such as air conditioners, room coolers and the like.
. The requirements are conflicting. Quiet operation is indispensable. Compactness of the conditioner unit is so important that space occupied by the fan and the discharge plenum must be held to the practicable minimum. Yet the discharging conditioned air should flow with sufficient velocity to assure good distribution. These requirements present a substantial problem even if the direction of discharge be fixed.
The invention provides an adjustable louver mechanism which affords two components of angular adjustment, each independent of the other, and each of substantial range. One component adjustment can be made without increasing the throttling eifect of the louvers as the angle increases. As to the other component, the increase in throttling is not significant until the limit of adjustment is closely approached.
It is characteristic of the improved construction that the louvers are short, and in terms of proportion rather massive, so that when molded in materials of comparatively low specific weight, resonance is minimized. The adjustable frame in which the louvers are mounted, though long, is not so slender in cross section as to respond resonantly to the flowing air. Moreover, it is muffled to an extent by the louvers. In fact the Whole assembly is distinctly non-resonant, partly because it is formed almost exclusively of molded plastic material, but in greater degree because of form and proportion.
, Twoembodiments of the invention will now be described by reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the improved louver structure, mounted in an inclined surface at the upper front margin of the case of a conditioner of the window-sill-mounted type.
Figs. 2, 3 and 4 are respectively face elevation, back elevation and end elevation of the frame or mount which supports the improved louver structure.
Fig. 5 is a side elevation of the swiveled secondary louver-carrying frame, as it appears removed from the mount shown in Figs. 2-4, with the louvers in place.
Fig. 6 is a section on the line 6-6 of Fig. 1, drawn on a larger scale than any of Figs. 1-5.
Fig. 7 is a similar section on the line 11 of Fig. 1. The plane of section is more precisely Fig. 8 is an end elevation of the swiveled secondary frame of Fig. 5, drawn on the scale of Figs. 6 and 7. The louvers are shown in broken lines.
Fig. 9 is a fragmentary section on the line 99 of Fig. 8.
Fig. 10 is a perspective view of one of the two retainer straps used to hold the swiveled frame of Fig. 5 in assembled relation with the mount of Figs. 2-4.
Figs. 11 and 12 are views of a modified dual louver construction in which two swiveled frames each with louvers are arranged side by side in a duplex mount, Fig. 11 being a section on the line iill of Fig. 12 and Fig. 12 is a section on the line l2l2 of Fig. 11.
In Figs. 1 and 6 the decorative casing of a conditioner has a front wall [5, an end wall l6 and a top I1.
A frame generally indicated in Fig. 1 by the numeral I8 is mounted in an apertured inclined portion l9 of the casing which forms the junction between front [5 and top ll. As indicated in Fig. 6 the frame 18 conforms to the margin of the aperture, which aperture obviously is the discharge port for conditioned air.
Refer now also to Figs. 2-5. In addition to the side members 2!, the frame [8 has decorative faceted end portions 22 and adjacent to these has arched portions 23, which, as Viewed from the bottom (Fig. 3), are internally formed as cylindrical half bearings 24, each with a groove 25. The holes 26 are to receive threaded fastenings (not shown) used to attach the frame to the casing. The threaded holes 21 are to receive screws 28 (see Fig. 7) used to attach arcuate straps 29 (see Fig. 10) which complete the bearings 24. These straps are of metal and-can be so formed as to develop a desired degree of friction on the swiveled outlet frame 3|.
The frame 3i is shown in detail in Figs. 5 to 9 inclusive. It is rotatably supported on two journals 32, and in the illustrated embodiment these are at the extreme ends of the frame. each journal is a rib 33 designed to work freely in a corresponding groove 25 in the corresponding bearing in frame l8. As best indicated in Fig. 7, the arcuate extent of the grooves is That of the ribs is less, to the extent necessary to permit the desired rotary movement. As indicated in Figs. 6 and 7 the two attaching flanges of strap 29 serve as stops and are engaged by th ends of the rib.
Between the journals 32 the member 3| is 1ongitudinally slotted and thus consists of two bars 34 which are segments of a circle in cross s'ec tion. In the example illustrated the diameter of this circle is equal to the diameter of the journals 32 and the width of the slot is approximately of the diameter. The slot is substantially continuous from journal to journal, since it is interrupted by one bridge piece 35 which carries a finger -piece-36by-- whichthe framemay be adjustedll The frame issplit longitudinally-(see Figs. 5, 7 and 8) and the two halves are connected by screws 31.
The opposed inner faces of the segmental bars 34 have each a row of shallow cylindrical cavi-- ties 38 which serve as bearings for disc-lilze-trunnions 39 formed at each end of louvers-dtwhich extend across the slot in frame 3i. Theebeare ing cavities and the trunnions which turn in them are of a diameter which .is several times their axial dimension.
a friction-developing spring 43 is inserted in eaclr of the spaces so: afforded.
With the. construction illustrated and above described, adjustment of frame 3! varies the direction of airdischarge-through a vertical angle of about 45. Even the extreme adjustments do not impose anyincreased throttling effect. Individua-l. louversmay be set in different angular position-sthrough a range of 90 i. e. about 45 in opposite directions from the positions shown in Fig- 9. In extreme adjustments the louvers willthrottle'flow.
The invention. thus provides a louver constructionwhich affords good directional control of discharge flow, and presents a notably attractive appearance. It occupies verylittle space, is easilymanipulated. and does not resonate;
While the angleimounting shown in Figs. l-l presents advantages, the construction is adaptable'to mounting in'a; front, side'or top wall of a-cabinet.. Figs. 11 and l2-showl an arrangement workedgout-for tep'ewal-l n-munting in' a conditi-oner" of remarkably small over-all dimensions.
In- Figs: 11 and l2 the front wall ofthe conditioner is shown at llfiand the top at Ill; The outlet opening is surrounded" byrubber-like gasket H6: The analogue of frame iB-is shown at! l8; It fitswit-hin gasket llfiandhasafiange which seats 'on top ill-and. a bridge piece 12! which adapts itto receive two swiveled frames I3lz These turn on trunnions I32which in this embodiment are relatively small. The frames l3! are slotted .fromsendsto end They are individuallymanipulableby finger pieces 23? The louvers Mi and their trunnions i3llare similar tolthcse shown in thefirstxembodiment.
Obviously,theframe I la:- mustlbe made. in two. partszto. permit assembly of the: frame/I3! Withxlt. The-plane of separationis not indicated but shouldbe parallel with'the plane of the paperin'Fig. 11. To permit mounting of the louvers, the frames I34 must be split, but this detail does not require illustration. To simplify the drawing, friction springs such as the springs 43 of Fig 9 are not illustrated, but their use with any or alLof. the trunnions is. obviousl-y, possible;
