Air cap and diffuser assembly

Abstract

The air cap and diffuser assembly is for vent-registers connected to the air ducts or the trunk line of a central air conditioning system. The cap assembly is designed to cover an air duct opening or for redirecting air flow. The cap has a peripheral seal that presses against the rim face of the register by magnet and/or a fastening device, and is comprised of a male cap/diffuser and a female cap/diffuser of sufficient size to cover the opening of a ceiling register. They are easily assembled together by snapping it on to form a complete air cap assembly. Also, a male or female cap/diffuser of the assembly can be removed to switch the function to an air diffuser/flow redirector.

1 . A magnetically attachable air cap comprised of sound and air reflecting guards, semi sphere noise dampening bar, grooves, tongue insert, flanges, magnetic strips and round magnets attached to said flanges, with said flanges mounting rims consisting essentially of rims, magnetic impregnated vinyl strips and round magnets. 
   
   
       2 . The combination as defined by  claim 1 , wherein said sound and air reflecting guard is made from a material selected from the group consisting of carbon sheet metal, urethane foam, polyethylene foam, corrugated plastic and Plexiglas. 
   
   
       3 . The combination as defined by  claim 1 , wherein said sound and air reflecting guard has the curved outer surface of the arcuate panel member. 
   
   
       4 . The combination as defined by  claim 1 , wherein said sound and air reflecting guard has a concave shape inside surrounding the peripheral edges thereof. 
   
   
       5 . The device of  claim 1 , in which said convex shape noise dampening bars consist of a semi sphere shape molded onto inside edge surface of said sound and air reflecting guard on the male and female said air diffusers. 
   
   
       6 . The air cap and diffuser of  claim 1 , wherein said groove comprises:
 a closed long, narrow indentation in the edge of said female diffuser to receive the tongue of the corresponding male diffuser.   
   
   
       7 . The air cap and diffuser of  claim 1 , wherein said tongue insert comprises:
 a long, narrow tongue in the edge of said male diffuser to receive the groove of the other female diffuser.   
   
   
       8 . The combination as defined by  claim 1 , wherein said groove and male tongue insert are to form an air tight assembly by means of self locking by snapping it on therewith. 
   
   
       9 . The combination as defined by  claim 1 , wherein said magnetic strips and round magnets is to form an air tight installation when it is secured in place by magnetic force. 
   
   
       10 . The combination as defined by  claim 1 , wherein said air reflecting guards consisting of a male air diffuser and a female diffuser, forms as an air cap.
