Devices and Methods for Installing Ductwork Components

Abstract

The present invention relates to methods and devices for installation of a component or device such as an air purification system onto the ductwork of a heating and/or cooling system.

1 . An installation kit comprising: 
 (a) a template component comprising: 
 (i) at least one drill guide defined by the template component; and  
 (ii) an adhesive component associated with one side of the template component; and  
   (b) a mounting component configured to be positioned adjacent to the template component, the mounting component comprising: 
 (i) at least one hole defined by the mounting component; and  
 (ii) at least one projection associated with the mounting component.  
   
     
     
         2 . The kit of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one drill guide comprises at least one fastener hole guide.  
     
     
         3 . The kit of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one drill guide comprises at least one light bulb hole guide.  
     
     
         4 . The kit of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one hole comprises at least one fastener hole.  
     
     
         5 . The kit of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one hole comprises at least one light bulb hole.  
     
     
         6 . The kit of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one drill guide defined by the template component and the at least one hole defined by the mounting component are adjacent when the mounting component is positioned adjacent to the template component.  
     
     
         7 . The kit of  claim 1 , further comprising an air purification device, configured to be positioned adjacent to the mounting component.  
     
     
         8 . The kit of  claim 7 , wherein the at least one projection is disposed within at least one opening defined by the air purification device.  
     
     
         9 . The kit of  claim 7 , wherein the air purification device comprises at least one ultraviolet light bulb that is disposed within at least one of the at least one holes defined by the mounting component.  
     
     
         10 . A method of attaching a device to ductwork of a heating or cooling system, the method comprising: 
 attaching a template component to the ductwork;    attaching a mounting component to the template component; and    mounting the device onto the mounting component.    
     
     
         11 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the template component comprises: 
 (a) at least one drill guide defined by the template component; and    (b) an adhesive component associated with one side of the template component.    
     
     
         12 . The method of  claim 10 , wherein the mounting component comprises: 
 (b) at least one hole defined by the mounting component; and    (c) at least one projection associated with the mounting component.
