Claims.
surface is obtained and by a novel method for supporting the same within the housing of the apparatus to provide a simple and inexpensive 15 arrangement which is readilyaccessible for removal and renovation of the filtering material. The ventilating and heating apparatus of a typical design illustrated in the accompanying drawings, discloses a preferred embodiment of the invention.
Another object is to provide an arrangement wherein an internal wall, in conjunction with the casing of the apparatus, provides a heated air passage and a by-pass passage for cold air, both passages receiving a portion of the discharge from a blower positioned below the internal wall, and bending forwardly so that a stream of cold air will be discharged by the by-pass passage above the stream of warm air discharged by the heated air passage.
. Referring to the drawings,
Figure 1 is a front view of the apparatus with the front wall removed.
Figure 2 is a view of the apparatus in vertical section, taken on line 2-2- of Figure 1.
Figure 3 is a perspective view of the filtering device removed, and
Figure 4 is a detail view of the filter support.
The apparatus in which the filtering device is located consists in general of an upright cabinet or housing, adapted to rest upon the floor of the room, and against the outer wall thereof. In the lower part of the cabinet is a propeller fan 2, directly connected with a motor 3, mounted on a base 4, resting on the bottom wall 5, of the cabinet. The fan faces toward the rear wall 6 of the cabinet, with its intake side registering with a circular opening 6 therein which in turn registers with a horizontal duct-7 through the wall of the building and communicating with the outside atmosphere.
Above the fan is a radiator 8 extending horizontally the length of the cabinet along the front wall 9 thereof. Between the radiator and the rear wall 6 is a vertical e 10 with a vertical baffle plate 11 adjacent the radiator. Between the radiator 8 and the wall 1l is a second radiator 8a, extending alongside the radiator 8. Above the radiator and extending along the forwardv edge of the top wall 12 is a discharge outlet in the form of a grille '13 slightly inclined to the horizontal so as to direct the air outwardly as well as vertically. .Suitable batiie plates -14-14 and a damper l5 regulate the passage of air upwardly from the tam-provision being thus made for the passageof all of the air through the radiator, or part through the radiator and part through the passage 11, for the purpose of regulating the temperature of the air delivered into the room.
Referring now to the filtering device, the same consists of two hinged together sections 16-16 extending lengthwise of the cabinet, between the fan and the radiator, and arching over the fan. Each section 16 is a fiat rectangular frame of a suitable construction, being preferably of metal with the top and bottom walls of woven wire or a coarse mesh.
As clearly shown in Figure 3, each section is made in two parts, which normally fit together, but are separable so thatv the layer or blanket 17 of filtering material may be removed for the purpose of cleaning or replacement. The frame sections 16-16 are hinged together at their ends, as at 18, so that they may be folded together for convenience in removing the same from the cabinet. In operative position the sections are selfsupporting, that is, they form an arch with their opposite ends supported against the opposite end walls of the cabinet with their hinge edges being located justabove the fan and just below the radiator. Narrow ledges 19-19 consisting of lengths of angle iron riveted to the end walls of the cabinet about midway the height of the fan, support the ends of the sections. In this way the sections support themselves at an obtuse angle to each other against the end walls. Manifestly the position of the filtering member is such that all of the air drawn into the cabinet and propelled upwardly by the fan must pass through the filter before passing through the radiator or passage 10, and thence delivered-into the room.
The front wall 9 of the cabinet is ordinarily a removable to permit access to the fan andmotor,
and hence the-filtering member can be readily withdrawn, when it is necessary to clean the filtering material, the hinged sections making it a simple matter to accomplish. Furthermore, the two hinged sections make it possible to arch the frames over the fan, not only affording a convenient and simple method of-supporting the device, but securing the added advantage of increased filtering area due to the inclination of v the two sections to the horizontal.
There are several advantages in the construction and method of mounting the filter in the cabinet to which attention may be directed.
It is customary in filtering devices of this character to saturate the filtering material with a suitable kind of oil, for the purpose of facilitating the filtering action, and as a result there is more or less dripping of the excess oil from the filter. With the arched form of filter, the oil works toward the lower ends ofthe frames, and thence down the inside walls of the cabinet, and not onto the fan and motor as would be the case if the screen extended longitudinally across the cabinet.
Furthermore, the hinged frame construction and arched arrangement of the sections, avoids the necessity for accurately dimensioning the filter to fit the cabinet, since any slight variations are taken up in the angular displacement of the sections when the screens are inserted into the cabinet. In other words, the filters adjust themselves to the cabinet, and require only a flange at each end to support them. Ease of removal and replacement is also another important advantage that is due to the arched construction.
