Abstract
The present invention discloses removable air duct sealing systems for obstructing and directing airflow through portions of an air duct system. Such air duct sealing systems may include a support plate having opening extending through the support plate from a first side to a second side. Such systems may also include a flange with an interior surface along the opening extending away from one side. Such systems may also include a sawtooth connector operatively coupled to the interior surface of the flange. An exemplary sawtooth connector may include detents configured to catch a backside of a louver of the air vent grill to hold the removable air duct sealing system in place covering the air vent grill.
Claims20
A removable air duct sealing system for obstructing and directing airflow through portions of an air duct system, the air duct system having at least one air duct terminated at an air vent grill, the removable air duct sealing system comprising:
- a support plate having a first side and a second side, the support plate having opening extending through the support plate from the first side to the second side;
- a flange along the opening extending away from the first side, the flange having an interior surface;
- a sawtooth connector operatively coupled to the interior surface of the flange, the sawtooth connector comprising a plurality of detents, the plurality of detents configured to catch the air vent grill to hold the removable air duct sealing system in place covering the air vent grill;
- and
- a pin mounted to the interior surface of the flange, wherein the sawtooth connector is hingably coupled to the pin.
