Abstract
An air cleaner assembly for ionizing and filtering air is supported by an electrical receptacle mounted in a wall. A housing supports an enclosed filter and a fan forces air into the housing, wherein the air is filtered and ionized. The filtered and ionized air is forced out of the housing through a grill mounted within the housing. A plug connected to the housing is mateable with the wall mounted electrical receptacle to provide power to the fan and to force air into the housing, through the filter, past the ionizer and out through the outlet grill.
Claims13
An air cleaner assembly for filtering air in a space contained at least in part by a wall, the air cleaner assembly being adapted to be supported by an electrical receptacle mounted in the wall, the air cleaner assembly comprising:
- a housing having a perimeter wall including inlet grill means for drawing air into the cleaner assembly, and outlet grill means for discharging filtered air from the cleaner assembly;
- filtering means for filtering air, said filtering means comprising a filter disposed within said housing;
- fan means for directing air into said housing and through said filtering means when receiving electrical power and for producing filtered air, said filtered air discharged out of said outlet grill means, said filtering means disposed circumferentially about said fan means and adjacent to said inlet grill means so that said fan means draws air into said inlet grill means through said filter means and discharges said filtered air out through said outlet grill means;
- and
- a plug, directly attached to said housing that is mateable directly with the wall mounted electrical receptacle to provide power to said fan means for directing air into the housing only when the plug is mated with the receptacle.
An air cleaner assembly for ionizing and filtering air, the air cleaner assembly comprising:
- a housing having a front surface and a perimeter wall, said front surface having an outlet grill for expelling ionized filtered air, said perimeter wall having an air inlet grill;
- filtering means for producing filtering air, said filtering means comprising a filter disposed within said housing and proximate said inlet grill;
- fan means for directing air into said housing and through said inlet grill and said filtering means when receiving electrical power, said filtering means disposed circumferentially about said fan means and adjacent to said air inlet grill so that said fan means draws air into said air inlet grill through said filter means and discharges said filtered air out through said outlet grill;
- ionization means disposed between said outlet grill and said filtering means for removing positively charged ions from the filtered air;
- and
- a plug, directly attached to said housing, that is mateable directly with a wall mounted electrical receptacle to provide power to said fan.
