US 5,704,832 A · Air conditioner control assembly

Abstract

An air conditioning vent cover assembly to be disposed over an outlet vent of an air conditioner duct, and including a frame structured for secure, fitted engagement over the outlet vent. The frame itself includes an exterior face having a plurality of openings formed therein so as to permit air flow therethrough from the vent and provide an attractive exterior appearance. Furthermore, rotatably connected to the frame is at least one propeller assembly having a central hub and at least one blade extending from a perimeter of the central hub. The propeller assembly is structured to freely rotate as a result of air flow from the air conditioning duct flowing thereover, such that the air flow is dispersed and more evenly distributed into the room as it passes from the propeller assembly through the exterior face of the frame. In addition to evenly dispersing the air flow, the propeller assembly is equipped to distribute an air freshener into the air flow such that it will circulate into the room and provide it with a pleasant aroma.

Dependent claims

To be disposed over an outlet vent of an air conditioner duct, an air conditioner vent cover assembly comprising:

a frame, said frame being structured for secure, fitted engagement over the outlet vent,
said frame including an exterior face having a plurality of openings formed therein so as to permit air flow therethrough from the vent,
at least one propeller assembly, said propeller assembly including a central hub and at least one blade extending from a perimeter of said central hub,
said central hub being generally perpendicularly disposed to said exterior face of said frame and to a direction of flow of said air flow,
rotation means connected between a central axis of said propeller assembly and said frame and structured to permit the free rotation of said propeller assembly as a result of air flow from said air conditioning duct flowing over said propeller assembly such that said air flow is dispersed as it passes from said propeller assembly through said exterior face of said frame to more evenly affect an area into which the outlet vent extends, and
scent dispersement means structured and disposed to disperse an air freshener into said air flow upon passage of said air flow therethrough.
