Method and manufacture for purifying the atmosphere

An ambient air purifying means comprising

• a plurality of members having a filtering substance for entrapping and retaining polluting particulate in ambient air,
• an envelope having a chamber within a mesh forming openings in the envelope,
• a plurality of intersticed receptacles, said receptacles being loosely disposed and situated in the chamber of said envelope,
• said plurality of members being loosely disposed in each of said receptacles for entrapping the particulate in the operation of the invention, and
• means mounted to said envelope for positioning the envelope into the direction of flow of polluted ambient air,
• whereby the particulate is entrapped in said filtering substance of said members as the flow of the polluted ambient air passes through said envelope and receptacles.

A method for purifying polluted ambient air within the atmosphere comprising

• providing a cage including openings therethrough and having therein a plurality of intersticed receptacles and in which receptacles a plurality of loosely gathered together collecting means having a filtering substance are disposed,
• mounting said cage to a location within a void resulting from the design of a vehicle amid the vehicle, the location always accessible to polluted ambient air in the atmosphere,
• moving the vehicle through the atmosphere containing the polluted ambient air,
• whereby the cage confronts the polluted ambient air and said collecting means collects the particulate in such air by entrapping them in its filtering substance the air passing through thereby being purified, and
• returning directly to the atmosphere the purified ambient air from the collecting means that has purified the polluted ambient air.
