  • Patent number: 11359828
    Abstract: A modular damper system is configured for installation in a ductwork of a building that supplies conditioned air through a register vent of the building and includes a damper unit, a control module and a power module. The damper unit is mountable upstream of the register vent and includes a damper that is movable between a closed position and an open position. The control module includes a controller that provides control commands to the damper unit and includes a housing that is configured to be secured to the ductwork at a position between the register vent and the damper unit. A power module is electrically coupled to the control module to provide power to the control module and includes a housing that is configured to be secured to the ductwork at a position between the register vent and the damper unit.

  • Patent number: 10941876
    Abstract: A damper assembly is configured for deployment in an existing forced air duct that supplies conditioned air through a register boot to a vent cover secured relative to the register boot. The damper assembly includes a damper frame having an at least substantially obround shaped frame periphery and a damper blade having an at least substantially obround shaped blade periphery. A damper insert arm is biased into a deployment configuration in which the damper insert arm is at least substantially perpendicular to the damper frame and is movable into an operational configuration in which the damper insert arm is at least substantially parallel with the damper frame. A latch is configured to releasably engage the damper insert arm in order to hold the damper insert arm in the deployment configuration.
