  • Patent number: 11745130
    Abstract: A filter and kit assembly for securing to one or more intake surfaces associated with a V-shaped heat exchanger unit. A screen includes a reinforced edge, within which is configured a plurality of spaced apart grommets aligning with and receiving therethrough engaging portions of the fasteners. In one variant, a frame is constructed for supporting the fasteners and attached filter and which is subsequently secured by clips against a flange surface surrounding the intake opening. In a further variant, the screen is configured in wrap-around fashion for supporting against first and second consecutively arranged intake openings along with an interconnecting intermediate flange surface.

  • Patent number: 11369911
    Abstract: A filter mounting assembly for use with a structure having front and interconnecting side faces surrounding an air intake opening. The assembly includes at least one ā€œLā€ shaped member adapted to be secured to either of the front or side faces of the structure on either side of the intake opening. A track is secured to each of the members so that an interior accessible channel of each track is arrayed in opposing fashion on opposite sides of the opening forward of the front intake face. A plurality of rollers are contained within each of the rails, the rollers each further including a forward extending hook portion projection from the interior track channels. A covering is provided having a plurality of side edge proximate located eyelets, the hook portions engaging through the eyelets for supporting the covering over the opening.

  • Patent number: 10040149
    Abstract: An assembly for installing a covering over an air intake opening in engagement with a surrounding perimeter extending face. A plurality of elongated supports attached to the perimeter extending face at locations around the intake opening, each of the supports exhibiting a forwardly projecting support surface within which is configured a slot. A plurality of fasteners install through an accessible end location of each support such that a base of each fastener is retained within and traversable along an interior channel defined in said support, a projecting portion of each fastener extending from said base and through said slot. A rigid mesh exhibits a generally rectangular outline which generally matches the arrangement of the elongated supports, an aperture pattern defined in the mesh permitting the projecting portions of the fasteners to extend through the mesh to retain the mesh over the forwardly projecting support surfaces.

  • Patent number: 7842116
    Abstract: A filter screen assembly for use with an air intake structure, the structure including a face within which is formed an air intake opening. The filter screen assembly includes a screen having a flexible mesh material and an outer perimeter edge. The perimeter edge is secured at specified locations to the face of the air intake structure, and in order to filter out contaminants associated with an air stream entering the intake structure and to prevent the screen from being drawn into the air intake opening.

  • Patent number: 7591870
    Abstract: A retrofit installation kit for use with such as an exteriorly located air conditioner condensing unit. The kit includes a flexible filtration screen and a set of customized fasteners which substitute for existing fasteners used to hold together the outer sheathing of the unit frame. The substitution of fasteners for the typical mounting screws utilized in the original unit construction precludes the possibility of such as damaging the unit due to drilling new fastener holes, this running the risk of rupturing fluid coils within the unit, or damaging other sensitive electrical or mechanical components.
