Abstract: A filter and fan assembly utilizes a conventional ceiling fan having a motor and an upstanding tubular member above the motor which carries electrical wires to the motor. A collar concentrically positioned on the tubular member includes radially extending support members, each of which supports a radially extending horizontal arm. At the end of each such arm is attached, a vertically extending support member. A shallow cylindrical shroud is carried on the vertically extending support members, with the shroud extending a limited distance above the radially extending arms. A plurality of trays having porous bottoms are supported on the arms and contain a filter medium including a layer of activated charcoal granules covered by a membrane of polyester filaments. A second embodiment utilizes a split collar which is bolted around the upstanding tubular member. The fan is normally operated to pull air downwardly through the filter medium.
