  • Patent number: 6243966
    Abstract: An air amplifier device has a body with two pieces which fit together and have an inner wall defining a generally cylindrical cavity with a center axis and with an entrance opening at its upper end and an exit opening at its other end. The two pieces have respective shoulders which abut to index the pieces in precise relationship radially, axially, and longitudinally. A pair of circular lips in the inner wall near the entrance opening form a venturi jet air opening through the inner wall to direct a controlled flow of air from a supply of air down into the cylindrical cavity. The lips are uniformly parallel with each other and concentric with the center axis, are closely and uniformly spaced apart for 360 degrees around their lengths and are two circular edges of the respective pieces, and are indexed to the respective shoulders of the pieces such that when the pieces are assembled the jet air opening is uniform within a fraction of a thousandth of an inch.
