  • Patent number: 6511522
    Abstract: A clean room filter support system has a filter unit comprising a perimetrical frame having four sides of a predetermined vertical extent with upper and lower edges and filtering material held within the frame for air flow between a first plane incorporating rear face of the filter material and a second plane incorporating a front face of the filter material, at least one side of the perimetrical frame defines an outwardly projecting bracket. There is a connector extending vertically between the support surface and the filter unit frame that has a rod supported from the support surface and an anchor structure supported by the rod. A spring-loaded pin engages with the bracket and is adjustable to selectively engage the anchor structure to couple the filter unit by its bracket to the anchor structure, the pin being adjustable for selectively engaging the anchor structure. A clip interposed between the pin head and the bracket blocks shifting of the filter unit against the resiliency of the spring.
