Abstract

Abstract Inside of or adjacent to one end or other wall of a dwelling room or the like there is provided an air-pervious ''''false'''' wall spaced in advance of the true wall thereof, thereby defining therebetween a plenum space. Throughout a substantial portion of its extent the false wall comprises a readily air-pervious fabrication, such as for example an extremely loosely woven fabric of natural or synthetic fibers or wire strands or the like; or a parallel strand curtain; or some other highly perforate fabrication such as a punched sheet member or the like. In any case the false wall is preferably decoratively equivalent to the viewed surface of a conventionally decorated room wall. Supply air inlet means are provided in one-way open system communication with the plenum space; the air supply thereto being beneficiated/''''conditioned'''' (heated, cooled, humidified, dehumidified, filtered, etc.) either externally of or within the plenum space. The invention features provision within a plenum space as aforesaid a positive air displacement/transport device which only leisurely moves the beneficiated air through the false wall and thence through the dwelling spaced towards an outlet remote from the false wall. Because of its air-pervious nature the false wall ''''breathes'''' a room-wide diffused supply of suitably beneficiated air into and through the room for temperature/humidity/filter control thereof; silently, and without perceptible draft effects.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 18
Claim 1
Independent Claim 167 words
An air transport system for leisurely moving beneficiated air derived from an ambient source into and through a dwelling room or the like, said system comprising in combination: inlet means leading from an air supply source into a plenum chamber disposed behind a ''''false'''' wall of said room, said false wall being structured so as to be readily air-passage permeable throughout a substantial extent of its planar surface, whereby said inlet means and said plenum chamber combine to provide a passageway for supply of air into said room; an air beneficiating device located within said passageway; a motorized one-way-valved position air-displacement device disposed within said plenum chamber; control means for regulating the operation of said motorized device and the speed of operation thereof whereby beneficiated air may be displaced to flow through said false wall and in widely dispersed pattern into said room; and exit means for allowing discharge of spent air from said room as said displacement device operates to deliver beneficiated air into the room.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 167 words
An air transport system for leisurely moving beneficiated air derived from an ambient source into and through a dwelling room or the like, said system comprising in combination: inlet means leading from an air supply source into a plenum chamber disposed behind a ''''false'''' wall of said room, said false wall being structured so as to be readily air-passage permeable throughout a substantial extent of its planar surface, whereby said inlet means and said plenum chamber combine to provide a passageway for supply of air into said room; an air beneficiating device located within said passageway; a motorized one-way-valved position air-displacement device disposed within said plenum chamber; control means for regulating the operation of said motorized device and the speed of operation thereof whereby beneficiated air may be displaced to flow through said false wall and in widely dispersed pattern into said room; and exit means for allowing discharge of spent air from said room as said displacement device operates to deliver beneficiated air into the room.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 26 words
An air transport system as set forth in claim 1 wherein said air beneficiating device is motorized and control means are provided to regulate operation thereof.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 21 words
An air transport system as set forth in claim 1 wherein said beneficiating device is located externally of said plenum chamber.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim 21 words
An air transport system as set forth in claim 1 wherein said beneficiating device is located internally of said plenum chamber.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim 39 words
An air transport system as set forth in claim 1 wherein said air displacement device comprises a panel hingedly mounted to reciprocate within said plenum space so as to progressively displace air to move therefrom through said false wall.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim 23 words
An air transport system as set forth in claim 1 wherein said false wall is artistically decorative when viewed from inside said room.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim 22 words
An air transport system as set forth in claim 1 wherein said air supply source comprises a source of outside ''''fresh'''' air.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim 21 words
An air transport system as set forth in claim 1 wherein said air supply source comprises a source of recycled air.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim 17 words
An air transport system as set forth in claim 1 wherein said beneficiating device comprises a heater.
Claim 11
Dependent Claim 17 words
An air transport system as set forth in claim 1 wherein said beneficiating device comprises a cooler.
Claim 12
Dependent Claim 19 words
An air transport system as set forth in claim 1 wherein said beneficiating device comprises an air humidifying device.
Claim 13
Dependent Claim 18 words
An air transport system as set forth in claim 1 wherein said beneficiating device comprises a de-humidifying device.
Claim 14
Dependent Claim 19 words
An air transport system as set forth in claim 1 wherein said beneficiating device comprises an air filtering device.
Claim 15
Dependent Claim 20 words
An air transport system as set forth in claim 1 wherein said beneficiating device comprises an air odor change device.
Claim 16
Dependent Claim 25 words
An air transport system as set forth in claim 1 wherein said air beneficiating device is adapted to supply a medicant to the transported air.
Claim 17
Dependent Claim 23 words
An air transport system as set forth in claim 1 wherein said beneficiating device is adapted to add oxygen to the transported air.
Claim 18
Dependent Claim 16 words
An air transport system as set forth in claim 1 wherein said inlet means is one-way-valved.
