Abstract
An air purification system that includes a housing including a pedestal and an outer shell, wherein the outer shell is operable between an extended configuration and a compacted configuration, and includes a filter arranged within the housing along a flow path between an inlet and an outlet of the housing.
Claims20
An air purification system comprising:
- a housing defining a longitudinal axis and a lumen in fluid communication with an external environment, and comprising:
- a pedestal defining a tray reception orifice, wherein the tray reception orifice defines:
- an insertion axis perpendicular to the longitudinal axis, and a first projected area normal to the insertion axis, wherein the pedestal further defines a first portion of a latch;
- an outer shell coupled to the pedestal by the latch and a spring, wherein the outer shell comprises a panel defining a second portion of the latch, complimentary to the first portion of the latch, wherein the outer shell is operable between:
- an extended configuration, wherein the outer shell is arranged distal the pedestal along the longitudinal axis by the spring and unrestricted by the latch, wherein the tray reception orifice is unobstructed by the outer shell along the insertion axis, and
- a compacted configuration, wherein the outer shell is constrained proximal the pedestal along the longitudinal axis by the latch in opposition to the spring, wherein the tray reception orifice is obstructed by the outer shell along the insertion axis;
- and
- a prefilter assembly comprising a prefilter tray and a prefilter retained by the prefilter tray, wherein the prefilter tray defines a second projected area, wherein the prefilter tray is insertable into the tray reception orifice along the insertion axis upon alignment between the first projected area and the second projected area.

An air purification system comprising:
- a housing defining a longitudinal axis and a lumen in fluid communication with an external environment, and comprising:
- a pedestal defining a first portion of a latch;
- an outer shell coupled to the pedestal by the latch and a spring, wherein the outer shell comprises a panel that defines a filter attachment region and a second portion of the latch, wherein the panel is arranged distal the pedestal, and wherein the outer shell is operable between:
- an extended configuration, wherein the outer shell is arranged distal the pedestal along the longitudinal axis by the spring and the first portion of the latch is disengaged from the second portion of the latch, and
- a compacted configuration, wherein the outer shell is constrained proximal the pedestal along the longitudinal axis by the latch, wherein the first portion of the latch is engaged with the second portion of the latch;
- and
- a primary filter assembly coupled to the filter attachment region, wherein the filter attachment region comprises an annular gasket, wherein the primary filter assembly is fixed within the lumen by the panel in the compacted configuration, wherein the primary filter assembly is removable from the lumen and the panel is removable from the outer shell in the extended configuration.
