  • Publication number: 20220034060
    Abstract: The present disclosure envisages an anchor plate adapter. The anchor plate adapter comprises two or more type of locking interfaces to facilitate mounting of different chimneys. One or more first locking interfaces is configured on the adapter, wherein the first locking interface is configured as opposing holes on an inner wall and an outer wall. The chimney is securely mounted on and locked by means of one or more fasteners. Additionally, one or more second locking interfaces are configured in form of protrusions extending outward from the outer wall. The second locking interface engages with the inner protruding member configured on an abutting surface of the outer tube when the adapter is oriented in a position within a female interface of the chimney, and the female interface is rotated with respect to the adapter.

  • Publication number: 20220003036
    Abstract: A roof hatch comprising at least one thermal resistant sheet having one or more sections is disclosed. The one or more sections are configured thereon to curb heat transfer. The roof hatch further comprises a frame to be installed on a roof and a hatch cover is configured for housing the thermal resistant sheet. The hatch cover and the frame are connected by a movable joint which enables the hatch cover to collapse over the frame. A sealing element is provided on at least a portion of the hatch cover. The thermal resistant sheet is held by the hatch cover by a temporary joint, a permanent joint or a combination thereof. The thickness of the hatch cover is in the range of 0.060 inches to 0.090 inches. The length of the one or more sections have a length which is less than a length of the edge.

  • Patent number: 10989435
    Abstract: An adapter for connecting a duct and a diffuser includes a base configured to be coupled to the diffuser and having a central opening. The adapter also includes a radially inner collar directly coupled to the base and extending circumferentially about a longitudinal axis of the central opening. The adapter also includes a radially intermediate collar directly coupled to the base, extending circumferentially about the longitudinal axis, and disposed radially outward from the radially inner collar. The adapter also includes a radially outer collar directly coupled to the base, extending circumferentially about the longitudinal axis, and disposed radially outward from the radially intermediate collar. A height of the radially intermediate collar, measured from the base upwardly, is greater than a height of the radially outer collar, and less than a height of the radially inner collar.

  • Patent number: 10981023
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure are directed to a vent monitoring system that includes a first sensor configured to provide feedback indicative of an amount of a substance accumulated in the vent, a second sensor configured to provide feedback indicative of a temperature in the vent, and a control system communicatively coupled to the first sensor and the second sensor, where the control system is configured to generate a notification when the feedback from the first sensor exceeds a first target level and when the feedback from the second sensor exceeds a second target level.
