Abstract: Ventilation systems are disclosed that include a base unit having a mounting platform connecting the base unit to a surface. Such base units have a base collar that extends away from the mounting platform and forms a perimeter of a opening through the base unit. Such ventilation systems include a fan unit that has a fan housing and a fan. The fan housing is configured to receive air through an inlet and expel air through an outlet, and the fan is capable of moving air from the inlet to the outlet. Such ventilation systems also include a quick connect interface that has a base feature and a fan housing feature. The base feature is integrated into the base unit, and the fan housing feature integrated into the fan unit; both are capable of detachably connecting together to secure the fan unit to the base unit.

Abstract: An air vent may cover an opening formed in a structure to block water or debris from entering an interior of the structure through the opening. The air vent is movable between a closed and an open position to selectively block or allow fluid communication between the interior and an exterior of the structure.

Abstract: A fan assembly includes a bracket, a fan and a cage. The bracket includes a ventilation plate. The fan is received in the bracket and secured to the ventilation plate. The cage is received in the bracket and secured to the fan. The cage defines an opening and includes a plurality of pieces rotatably received in the opening. The plurality of pieces cover the opening. The cage further includes a plurality of limiting pieces extending from an inner surface of the opening. The pressure of moving air from the fan is capable of rotating the plurality of pieces, but any over-rotation of the plurality of pieces is prevented by the plurality of limiting pieces.

Abstract: The invention teaches systems, devices and methods for controlling the automation of ventilation registers. In one embodiment, the invention is a system for articulating a register for a heating or air-conditioning system. The system generally includes a means for receiving a wireless signal, a means for switching a drive means on, a drive means, and a movable member.

Abstract: A ventilation fan includes a case-like frame having an opening and a rib in the opening, a motor fastened to the rib inside the case-like frame, a face cover detachably covered on the case-like frame, the face cover having air inlets in communication with the opening of the case-like frame, a centrifugal fan fastened to. the motor shaft of the motor and disposed outside the case-like frame, and a wind box detachably covered on the outside of the case-like frame over the centrifugal fan.

Abstract: A centrifugal fan system for a building, including a centrifugal fan mounted for rotation about a vertical axis and having a bottom inlet. The fan is mounted in a movable housing having a fan chamber and an air outlet arranged in a side thereof. Wheels are mounted on both sides of the fan housing and engage two elongate track members, that extend horizontally and are mounted on a suitable supporting structure. Thus, the fan and its housing can be moved horizontally away from the top of an input flow concentrator. The housing has an internal, perforated scroll-shaped wall and vertical external walls. Sound insulation is located between the scroll-wall and the external walls. An electrical motor is mounted on the side of the housing and is connected to drive the fan.

Abstract: A dual purpose attic ventilator (10) comprising a hatch (12) with a structure (14) for mounting the hatch (12) on a roof (16) of an attic (18) in a building (20) having an opening (22) therethrough. An attic fan (24) is also provided. A component (26) is for pivoting the attic fan (24) on the hatch (12). A person can open the attic fan (24) on the hatch (12) to climb out through the hatch (12) onto the roof (16) of the building (20). The person can close the attic fan (24) on the hatch (12), to allow the attic fan (24) to pull hot air out of the attic (18) through the hatch (12).

Abstract: A blower cleanout door assembly including a door panel pivotally connected to a blower housing for supporting a blower assembly including a blower wheel and motor for swinging movement of the door panel between a closed position covering a blower wheel opening in the housing with the blower wheel within the housing for operation and an open position in which the blower wheel is swung exteriorly of the blower housing out through the blower wheel opening for ease of cleaning the blower wheel and blower interior.
