Air duct sealing system for obstructing or directing airflow through portions of an air duct system

A removable air duct sealing system for obstructing airflow through portions of an air duct system, the removable air duct sealing system comprising:

• a cover assembly, the cover assembly having a first side and a second side, the cover assembly having an opening extending through the cover assembly from the first side to the second side, the cover assembly capable of restricting airflow between the cover assembly and an air duct system component when the cover assembly is pressed toward the air duct system component;
• and
• a flexible connector, the flexible connector having a catch and a tail, the catch capable of connecting the flexible connector to the air duct system component, the tail of the flexible connector further comprises a plurality of notches, the tail capable of passing through the opening in the cover assembly;
• wherein the cover assembly comprises a fastener, the fastener and the tail of the flexible connector capable of operating together as a ratchet, the fastener further comprises a ratchet pawl, the ratchet pawl capable of engaging at least one of the plurality of notches of the tail of the flexible connector to prevent the fastener from moving in a first direction along the tail relative to the flexible connector when the ratchet pawl is configured in a first position, the ratchet pawl capable of disengaging from the plurality of notches of the tail of the flexible connector to allow the fastener to move in the first direction along the tail relative to the flexible connector when the ratchet pawl is configured in a second position.

A removable air duct sealing system for directing airflow through portions of an air duct system, the removable air duct sealing system comprising:

• a support plate having a first side and a second side, the support plate having a first opening, a second opening, and a third opening, each of the first opening, the second opening, and the third opening extending through the support plate from the first side to the second side;
• a first flexible connector, the first flexible connector having a first catch and a first tail, the first catch capable of connecting the first flexible connector to an air duct system component, the first tail capable of passing through the first opening in the support plate;
• a first fastener operatively connected to the support plate, the first fastener having a first fastener catch, the first fastener capable of interacting with the first tail of the first flexible connector in dependence upon the positioning of the first fastener catch, the first fastener catch capable of being configured in a first position that prevents the first fastener from moving in a first direction along the first tail relative to the first flexible connector, the first fastener catch capable of being configured in a second position that allows the first fastener to move in the first direction along the first tail relative to the first flexible connector;
• a second flexible connector, the second flexible connector having a second catch and a second tail, the second catch capable of connecting the second flexible connector to the air duct system component, the second tail capable of passing through the second opening in the support plate;
• a second fastener operatively connected to the support plate, the second fastener having a second fastener catch, the second fastener capable of interacting with the second tail of the second flexible connector in dependence upon the positioning of the second fastener catch, the second fastener catch capable of being configured in a third position that prevents the second fastener from moving in a third direction along the second tail relative to the second flexible connector, the second fastener catch capable of being configured in a fourth position that allows the second fastener to move in the fourth direction along the second tail relative to the second flexible connector;
• a gasket configured on the first side of the support plate, the gasket capable of restricting air flow between the support plate and the air duct system component when the gasket is pressed toward the air duct system component;
• and
• a sleeve positioned at the third opening, the sleeve extending away from the support plate on the second side, the sleeve capable of connecting to an air duct hose.
