  • Door insulation retainer
    Patent number: 6155070
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for retaining an insulation blanket in its installed position on the inner surface of a fan coil door in the vicinity of a negative pressure created by a blower assembly within the fan coil. A bracket is secured to the lower edge of the blower assembly access door, the bracket having an upwardly extending flange that overlaps a significant portion of the insulation blanket to hold it in its installed position. A pair of obliquely extending tabs engage a shelf surface on the lower edge of the door to secure the bracket to the door without the use of fasteners.
