Abstract: The invention discloses a humidifying device which consists in a thermally conductive casing which is adapted and correctly dimensioned to fit over a conventional electrical radiator without preventing it from heating the ambiant air simultaneously. The casing is destined to be at least partially filled with water, and upon the radiator generating heat, the water temperature will gradually increase and water will evaporate into the ambiant air through outlets in the top of the casing due to the heat being conducted through the radiator and casing to the water. The water vapor outflow rate can be selectively adjusted by means of a pivotable heat deflector or alternately by adjusting the distance between the radiator and the casing. A sponge member filled with bactericide is inserted into the casing and is submerged in water.

Abstract: A variable air filter system is described for convection and ventilation air flows, filter elements being introduced into the air flow in order to clean or purify the room air. To obtain an improved filtering effect, provision is made for filter elements to be disposed at a distance in front of or above the air-generating surface or the air-generating cross-section, the area of such filter elements being as large as or, if required, larger than the air-generating cross-section of the air-emitting surface. It is possible to provide the filter elements with the facility of enabling different inclination, form, overall depth, and length and height arrangement to be adjusted to the optimum value for filter efficiency in the air flow for cleaning.

Abstract: A humidifier attachable to a baseboard type radiator of the type comprising a body having an open front portion in which is placed a heating element and a panel placed in front of the heating element such that the panel defines with the body a lower opening and an upper opening. The humidifier comprises a feature which enables securement to the front panel of the baseboard type radiator, a container poriton, and an air entrance aperture located above the container portion in alignment with the upper opening.
