US 2006/0186225 A1 · Air guide systems and methods for restorative drying

Abstract

A system for guiding air to at least one desired location on at least one target surface. The system comprises an air mover and an air guide member. The air mover defines an outlet through which air is displaced. The air guide member defines at least one air chamber. The air guide member is arranged adjacent to the outlet such that at least a first portion of the air displaced by the air mover enters the at least one air chamber to inflate the air guide member. The air mover and air guide member are arranged such that the inflated air guide member guides a second portion of the air towards the at least one desired location.
