Abstract
A device for safely re-directing carbon monoxide exhaust from generators includes a base, a holding mechanism, at least one support, and an exhaust tube. The base is configured to be positioned on a grounding surface. The holding mechanism is suspended at an elevated height from the base. The at least one support is connected between the base and the holding mechanism. The at least one support is configured to support the holding mechanism at the elevated height in a vertical orientation. The exhaust tube is configured to be connected to an exhaust outlet of the generator on a first end. The exhaust tube is configured to extend from the exhaust outlet of the generator vertically through the holding mechanism to a safe exhaust height above the exhaust outlet of the generator.
Claims18
A device for safely re-directing carbon monoxide exhaust from a generator comprising:
- a base configured to be positioned on a grounding surface;
- a holding mechanism suspended at an elevated height from the base;
- at least one support, each of the at least one support is connected between the base and the holding mechanism, where each of the at least one support is configured to support the holding mechanism at the elevated height in a vertical orientation;
- an exhaust tube configured to be connected to an exhaust outlet of the generator on a first end, the exhaust tube is configured to extend from the exhaust outlet of the generator vertically through the holding mechanism to a safe exhaust height above the exhaust outlet of the generator;
- wherein the holding mechanism includes an adjustment lock configured to adjustably secure the exhaust tube on or inside of the holding mechanism in a vertical position;
- and
- wherein the adjustment lock is an adjustment screw in the holding mechanism configured for adjustably securing the exhaust tube on or inside of the holding mechanism in the vertical position.
A generator comprising:
- a device for safely re-directing carbon monoxide exhaust from the generator, the device comprising:
- a base configured to be positioned on a grounding surface;
- a holding mechanism suspended at an elevated height from the base;
- a plurality of supports connected between the base and the holding mechanism, the plurality of supports is configured to support the holding mechanism at the elevated height in a vertical orientation;
- and
- an exhaust tube configured to be connected to an exhaust outlet of the generator on a first end, the exhaust tube is configured to extend from the exhaust outlet of the generator vertically through the holding mechanism to a safe exhaust height above the exhaust outlet of the generator;
- wherein, the exhaust tube includes:
- a horizontal portion with the first end configured to connect to the exhaust outlet of the generator;
- a vertical portion configured to extend vertically upward from the horizontal portion through the holding mechanism to the safe exhaust height;
- a lower exhaust pipe including the horizontal portion and a lower part of the vertical portion configured to go through the holding mechanism;
- an upper exhaust pipe including an upper part of the vertical portion;
- and
- the upper exhaust pipe is connected to the lower exhaust pipe via a flanged fitting.
A device for safely re-directing carbon monoxide exhaust from a generator comprising:
