  • Patent number: 5379609
    Abstract: In an air conditioner having an air filter comprising a frame body and a mesh which are integrally formed, a specific portion 140 of the frame body 132 is wider than the other portions of the frame body, and a support post 130 which is engageable with a latch slot 131 on the main body is disposed at the widened portion, so that even when the joint between the frame body and the mesh is formed away from the support post, the mechanical strength of the post can be maintained. In addition, the width of the joint at the widened portion is substantially equal to that of the other portions of the joint, so that the mesh is uniformly fixed to the frame body.
