Abstract

Abstract A built-in combination cooling and heating device for a residential building comprising peripheral wall members, a floor member and a ceiling member which are high thermally conductive and define a room of said residential building, an outer jacket surrounding said room defining members in a peripherally spaced relationship to the members to define an annular air space therebetween and having a hole in the center of the funnel-shaped lower end portion and the conical upper end portion provided with exhaust ports, a heater disposed in said center hole of the outer jacket lower end portion, a tunnel provided below said floor in communication with said center hole, a porous heat radiation plate suspended from said floor member right above said heater, a cooler suspended from the center of said upper end portion of the outer jacket, a porous cooling air dispersion plate suspended from said upper end portion of the outer jacket and a ventilator provided in the attic defined between the roof of said building and upper end portion of said outer jacket.

Claims Analysis

Total Claims: 4
Claim 1
Independent Claim 244 words
A built-in combination cooling and heating device for a residential building comprising a ceiling member, wall members and a floor member which define a room of said residential building and are formed of high heat transfer material, an adiabatic outer jacket surrounding said ceiling, wall and floor members in a peripherally spaced relationship thereto to define an air space therebetween and having the upper end portion projecting above said ceiling member and provided with exhaust ports and the lower end portion projecting below said floor member, a heater disposed within said lower end portion of the outer jacket, an air supply tunnel provided below said floor member in communication at the opposite ends with said lower end portion of the outer jacket and an external air supply source, a porous heat radiation plate suspended from said floor member right above said heater, a cooler suspended from said upper end portion of the outer jacket, a porous cooling air dispersion plate suspended from said upper end portion of the outer jacket and positioned right below said cooler and a ventilator provided in the attic defined between the roof of said residential building and said upper end portion of the outer jacket, whereby when said heater is operated, heated air is circulated through said air space from below to above to heat the room and when said cooler is operated, cooled air is circulated through said air space from above to down to cool the room.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim 244 words
A built-in combination cooling and heating device for a residential building comprising a ceiling member, wall members and a floor member which define a room of said residential building and are formed of high heat transfer material, an adiabatic outer jacket surrounding said ceiling, wall and floor members in a peripherally spaced relationship thereto to define an air space therebetween and having the upper end portion projecting above said ceiling member and provided with exhaust ports and the lower end portion projecting below said floor member, a heater disposed within said lower end portion of the outer jacket, an air supply tunnel provided below said floor member in communication at the opposite ends with said lower end portion of the outer jacket and an external air supply source, a porous heat radiation plate suspended from said floor member right above said heater, a cooler suspended from said upper end portion of the outer jacket, a porous cooling air dispersion plate suspended from said upper end portion of the outer jacket and positioned right below said cooler and a ventilator provided in the attic defined between the roof of said residential building and said upper end portion of the outer jacket, whereby when said heater is operated, heated air is circulated through said air space from below to above to heat the room and when said cooler is operated, cooled air is circulated through said air space from above to down to cool the room.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim 74 words
The built-in combination cooling and heating device as set forth in claim 1, in which said ceiling, wall and floor members defining the room are formed of metal material member and said upper end portion of the outer jacket has a conical shape with the apex directing upwardly and said lower end portion of the outer jacket has a funnel shape provided with a downwardly extending cylindrical portion in which said heater is disposed.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim 29 words
The built-in combination cooling and heating device as set forth in claim 1, in which said heat radiation and cooling air dispersion plates are relatively thick cast iron plates.
