  • Patent number: 5778822
    Abstract: A pet litter container having a covering defines an interior space. A door opening in the covering allows for pet ingress and egress. A plurality of ventilation openings are provided in the covering. A power filter is located in fluid communication with the ventilation openings for removing and filtering odors from the air in the interior space. The power filter includes a power filter housing having an air inlet and an air outlet. An air path is defined by the power filter housing between the air inlet and the air outlet. A low voltage fan is mounted in the housing in the air path for moving air at a predetermined rate from the interior space, through the air inlet, and out the air outlet for exhausting filtered air from the interior space into an interior room in a house or an apartment. A self-contained filter cartridge is removably mounted in the housing in the air path for removing odors from the air in the air path.

  • Patent number: 5370721
    Abstract: A ceiling fan filter for filtering the air in a room having a ceiling fan is made from at least one layer of resilient polymeric fiber filter material. Each layer has a length, a width, an upper surface, a lower surface and two side edges which extend along the length of the layer. A narrow compressed strip is formed in the filter material by compressing and heating the layer of filter material so that the filter material is fused together. The compressed strip causes an expanded thickness of the side edges to increase the effective filter surface area of the filter and gives the filter a semicircular cross-sectional shape perpendicular to the length of the filter. An adhesive layer is joined to the lower surface of the filter to attach the filter to the fan blade of a ceiling fan.
