Hood extension for range and the like

Abstract

The present invention proposes a flexible, collapsible range hood extension which can easily be installed and removed, as needed, from an existing hood.

1 . A hood extension to help venting cooking fumes and adapted to fit over an existing range hood comprising: 
 a top planar surface, a peripheral flap extending from the perimeter of said top planar surface;    retainer means to retain said hood extension over said existing range hood.    
     
     
         2 . A hood extension as in  claim 1  further comprising: 
 a transparent window cut into said top planar surface.  
 
     
     
         3 . A hood extension as in  claim 1  further comprising: 
 a peripheral flap having a front and two lateral sides made out of a soft pliable material.  
 
     
     
         4 . A hood extension as in  claim 1  further comprising: 
 a peripheral flap made out of a rigid material having a front and two lateral sides and split at the corners between said front and said lateral sides to allow for folding.  
 
     
     
         5 . A hood extension as in  claim 1  further comprising: 
 rounded corners on said top planar surface.  
 
     
     
         6 . A hood extension as in  claim 1  further comprising: 
 a strip of magnetized material as releasable attachment means onto said existing range hood.  
 
     
     
         7 . A hood extension to help venting cooking fumes and adapted to fit over an existing range hood comprising: 
 a top planar surface, a peripheral flap extending from the perimeter of said top planar surface;    retainer means to retain said hood extension over said existing range hood;    an articulation at a junction point;    a retainer means for said articulation.
