INVENTOR William L. Schwartz WITNESSES= ZM ATTORNEY United Sttes This invention relates to a vent assembly particularly adapted for use in a room air conditioner.
An object of the invention is the provision of a vent arrangement providing manufacturing cost advantages in certain respects, as well as reliability in operation for extended periods.
A further object of the invention is the provision of a vent assembly which is less susceptible to failure after extended periods than the typical vent assembly.
Broadly stated, the assembly according to the invention comprises a one-piece, molded, polypropylene plastic member including a frame and screen portion with integrally molded anchoring means on the border of the frame, and a hinged cover adapted to be moved about a pivotal axis into and out of covering relation with said screen. The molded fabrication lends itself to providing certain integral portions for purposes of providing an anchoring arrangement for the assembly, and for providing a connection through which the cover is operated.
The invention will be described in connection with the accompanying drawing illustrating one embodiment of the invention by way of example, and wherein:
FIGURE 1 is a partly broken plan view of the interior of the room air conditioner provided with an arrangement according to the invention;
FIG. 2 is a plan view of the one-piece frame and screen portion, and cover portion unfolded from an operative or installed position to illustrate the inner face construction;
FIG. 3 is a fragmentary, enlarged sectional view corresponding to one taken along the line III-III of FIG. 2;
FIG. 4 is an edge View, enlarged relative to FIG. 1, illustrating the vent assembly in installed relation in the partition of the room air conditioner, and with the cover in a closed position; and
FIG. 5 is a view similar to FIG. 4 but illustrating the cover in an open position to permit the exhaust of air from the room.
Except for the assembly of the invention, the interior parts of the room air conditioner shown in FIG. 1 are for the most part conventional and will be simply enumerated for the most part. They are enclosed within an outer casing of generally rectangular box-shaped form including opposite sidewalls and 12, between which a vertical partition 14 extends to divide the interior of the casing into an evaporator compartment 16 and a condenser compartment 18. The evaporator compartment presents its front face 20 to the room being conditioned and receives and discharges air by means of the evaporator air fan 22 which directs air generally along the path indicated by the arrows. The condenser compartment has its outer face 24 in communication with outside air, and the condenser fan 26 induces a flow of air through the condenser compartment as indicated by the directional arrows generally defining that flow path.
An opening 28 is provided in the central part of the partition wall to permit the flow of air from the evaporator compartment to the condenser compartment, and the exhaust vent assembly generally designated 30 is mounted in this opening to control selectively the exhaust of air from the evaporator compartment to the condenser compartment. An exhaust control knob 32 is provided on the room face of the air conditioner to permit control atent of the exhaust vent assembly through means of a sheathed cable 34 which extends back to the exhaust vent assembly.
The exhaust vent assembly includes, as principal parts, a frame and screen portion generally designated 36 which is stationarily mounted in the exhaust opening 28, and a hingedly-connected cover portion generally designated 38 which is pivotally movable toward and away from the frame and screen portion to selectively open and close, respectively, the opening 28. Preferably these elements are fabricated in the form of a one-piece molded plastic material, and which preferably is molded of polypropylene plastic. The properties of polypropylene plastic lend themselves admirably to the device of this invention in that they permit the use of an integrally molded hinge between the frame and screen portion and the cover portion which has a flexing strength of a character such that the cover may be opened and closed far more times, without failure, than would normally be expected in the life of a normally used air conditioner. Further, by virtue of the use of a plastic material for the device of the invention, the device is highly resistant to deterioration due to weathering, age, temperature changes, and the combination of these and other factors which normally have resulted in the failure of exhaust vents in more instances than is desirable from both the manufacturers and users standpoint.
In FIG. 2 the one-piece frame and screen portion generally designated 36 is shown on the right, and the integrally connected cover portion generally designated 38 is shown on the left, with these elements folded outwardly so as to present their inner faces. The frame peripheral border 40 includes an anchor tab 42 which is oflset from the plane of the remainder of the border a distance sufficient to accommodate the thickness of the partition wall upon which the frame and screen portion is to be mounted. In the opposite border edge of the frame an opening 44 is provided to receive additional fastening means. Such fastening means may take the form of a sheet metal screw 46 (FIGS. 4 and 5). The verso face of the border adjacent the hole 44 is also provided with a groove 48 which forms the bed for one end of a closure spring to be described later.
The integrally molded screen part 50 of the frame and screen portion is provided with a multitude of small openings and serves, of course, to permit the passage of air, but to prevent the entry of certain objects into the evaporator compartment from the condenser compartment.
The obverse face of the frame and screen portion is provided with a peripheral flange 52 inset from the extreme outer edge of the border. The verso face of the frame also is provided with a peripheral flange encompassing the screen area, this peripheral flange being designated 54 and fitting within the rim of the opening 28 provided in the partion wall 14.
The cover portion 38 includes a flat extended surface area 56 which is bordered by the peripheral flange 58. When the cover portion 38 is folded against frame and screen portion 36, the flange 58 fits around the flange 52 of the screen and provides a labyrinth seal in this manner. The cover portion also includes, adjacent the hinged edge of the cover, a recessed portion 60 which accommodates the head of the screw 46 which projects through the opening 44.
The integrally molded hinge is designated 62 and as may be seen in FIG. 3, is relatively thin in section as compared to the remainder of the molded parts, and is provided with an even further reduced thickness line 64 which functions as the pivotal axis about which the cover moves.
The outer face of the cover portion (the verso face of FIG. 2) is provided with tan integrally molded lug 66 adjacent the hinge edge, and provided with an opening 68 in the outwardly projecting portion thereof to receive a cover operating connection.
Referring now to FIGS. 4 and 5, the frame and screen portion 36 may be seen in its installed position in the exhaust opening 28. The anchor tab 42 and border 40 provide a slot at the right edge into which is received an edge of the partition wall, and the screw 46 secures the opposte edge of the frame and screen portion in a stationary position. The cover 38 is thus held in a position to be pivotally moved against the frame, or outwardly therefrom about the hinge 62 axis.
One means for urging the cover toward a closed position may take the form of the wire spring arrangement 70. The wire spring has one end bent into the form of a rig-ht angle and an end loop which are received by the bed 48- (FIG. 2), and the spring then makes a 180 turn and extends along the outer face of the cover. It is retained in position against the cover outer face by passing along the edge of lug 66 and past the spring retainer projection 72 on the outer face of the cover. As noted, the spring is arranged to exert a force to maintain the cover in a closed position. Thus, as shown in FIG. 4 the cover is closed by the force of the spring upon release of tension in the cable 34. When it is desired to open the cover the cable 34 is tightened and exerts a force opposing the force of the spring 70 to move the cover to the open position of FIG. 5
It Will be observed and appreciated from FIGS. 1, 4 and 5, that the air flow path along the opposite faces of the partition wall 14 is such that when the cover is opened to its FIG. 5 position at least a portion of the air flowing through the evaporator compartment is directed by the cover outwardly through the screen and frame into the condenser compartment. When the cover is in a closed position, the flanges heretofore described provide a labyrinth seal preventing the interchange of air between the two compartments.
