Abstract
Abstract A modular fabric indoor air conditioner cover set prevents cooling of a room from outside air in a room air conditioner and the loss of heat through the air conditioner. The cover has an opening the periphery of which can grasp the periphery of the indoor portion of an air conditioner. The indoor air conditioner cover is modular in periphery and includes a releasable fold adapted to expand the depth of the cover, thus the cover set with a plastic sheet sealed to the indoor face of the air conditioner provided an effective set for fitting a large variety of different air conditioners and for protecting against unwanted cold.
