Abstract: A device for transferring air from the upper region of a room through an open doorway to the exterior of that room, such as to an adjacent room. The device includes an open-ended casing or conduit (15) mounted upright to a wall of the room just above a doorway (12), an electric fan (21) mounted in the casing or conduit (15) to draw air downwardly into and through the casing or conduit (15), and a hinged chute (16) positioned at the bottom of the casing or conduit (15) which, when declined downwardly, deflects such downwardly moving air out through the open doorway (12) to the exterior of the room.
