Abstract
An air-conditioning unit is positionable through a partition such as a wall. The unit has a housing passing through the wall and a plate covering the inner end of the housing. The evaporator coil is mounted on the plate. A further plate extends from the plate horizontally into the housing and the compressor and condenser are mounted on the further plate. An aperture leads through the first mentioned plate for the passage of air and leads to an elongated duct to provide sound attenuation. Sealing gaskets are provided between the housing and the first mentioned plate and sound deadening material is positioned to deaden sound on the housing and the first mentioned plate.

- a housing positionable in an aperture through a partition such as a wall structure of a building;
- a space dividing member removably positioned adjacent the end of said housing which is innermost within said building;
- said space dividing member having an inclined first surface extending downwardly and outwardly from said building toward said housing;
- said housing having an upwardly extending rim terminating in an inwardly and downwardly second surface;
- said inclined first surface engaging over said inclined second when said space dividing member is positioned adjacent said innermost end of said housing, said inclined first and second surfaces cooperating to form means, as said space dividing member is inserted toward said housing, for drawing and urging said space dividing member toward said housing to form a seal therebetween and between the exterior and interior of said building;
- said space dividing member having therein at least one aperture for the passage therethrough of air;
