Vent system

Abstract

This invention is directed toward a vent system comprising a base unit which attaches to a vent, a vent unit which is attached to the base unit by a plurality of adjustable screws, and, optionally, one or more removable sponge members or solid panels which are used to control and direct the air flow. The vent system can be removably attached to any vent from which air emanates, including fan outlets, heating outlets, and air conditioning vents. There are two basic mechanisms by which the invention controls and directs air flow: first, the adjustment screws allow for the space between the base unit and vent unit to be adjusted; second, the sponge members can be used to direct air flow. Because the vent unit is readily removable, different vent units, with variations in color, vent size, scent and other aspects can be changed at will.

1 . A vent system comprising
 a base unit, where the base unit is designed to be attached over an open air duct, and where there is a hole in the middle of the base unit, and where there is a lip around the hole, and   a vent unit, where the vent unit is designed to be attached to, though not necessarily the same size as, the base unit, where the vent unit is designed to be attached to the base unit by means of screws, and   bottom deflectors, where the bottom deflectors are in the middle of the vent unit, where the bottom deflectors are designed to divert air in various directions when air flows from the open air duct and through the base unit, and   side deflectors, where the deflectors are attached to the vent unit, where the side deflectors are designed to divert or block air when air flows from the open air duct through the base unit and out the sides between the vent unit and the base unit.   
   
   
       2 . The vent system of  claim 1 , where the side deflectors are permanently attached to the vent unit in a fixed position, and where the side deflectors are designed to divert air away from the vent system and parallel to the surface that the base unit is attached to. 
   
   
       3 . The vent system of  claim 1 , where the side deflectors can be adjusted after the vent system is attached over an open air duct, where the side deflectors have a range of movement, where the range of movement ranges from a position where the side deflectors lay flat against the surface of the vent unit to a position where the non fixed ends of the side deflectors come in contact with the lip around the hole of the base unit. 
   
   
       4 . The vent system of  claim 3 , where the side deflectors are attached to the vent unit by means of a pin-joint. 
   
   
       5 . The vent system of  claim 1 , further comprising one or more sponge members, where the sponge members are placed between the vent unit and the base unit to block the flow of air in a specific direction. 
   
   
       6 . The vent system of  claim 5 , where the sponge members are manufactured to disperse a particular scent. 
   
   
       7 . The vent system of  claim 1 , further comprising one or more panel members, where the panel members are placed between the vent unit and the base unit to block the flow of air in a specific direction. 
   
   
       8 . The vent system of  claim 1 , where the vent unit is manufactured to be a specific color or transparency. 
   
   
       9 . The vent system of  claim 1 , where the vent unit is manufactured to disperse a particular scent. 
   
   
       10 . The vent system of  claim 1 , where there is a variable distance between the vent unit and base unit, where the distance is adjusted by screwing the screws connecting the vent unit to the base unit in or out. 
   
   
       11 . The vent system of  claim 1 , where the bottom deflectors are designed to block the flow of air therefore forcing the air out the side of the vent between the vent unit and the base unit. 
   
   
       12 . A vent system comprising
 a base unit, where the base unit is designed to be attached over an open air duct, where there is a hole in the middle of the base unit, and where there is a lip around the hole, and where the base unit has base unit screw holes, and   a vent unit, where the vent unit has screw casings, where screws can slide through the screw casings, where the screw casings are designed to line up with the base unit screw holes, and where the vent unit can be attached to, though not necessarily the same size as, the base unit, and where the vent unit is attached to the base unit by means of screws that are slid through the screw casings and through the base unit screw holes, and where the vent unit and base unit can be attached over an open air duct by means of the screws, and   bottom deflectors, where the bottom deflectors are in the middle of the vent unit, where the bottom deflectors are designed to divert air in various directions when air flows from the open air duct and through the base unit, and   side deflectors, where the deflectors are attached to the vent unit, where the side deflectors are designed to divert or block air when air flows from the open air duct through the base unit and out the sides between the vent unit and the base unit.   
   
   
       13 . The vent system of  claim 12 , where the side deflectors are permanently attached to the vent unit in a fixed position, and where the side deflectors are designed to divert air away from the vent system and parallel to the surface that the base unit is attached to. 
   
   
       14 . The vent system of  claim 12 , where the side deflectors can be adjusted after the vent system is attached over an open air duct, where the side deflectors have a range of movement, where the range of movement ranges from a position where the side deflectors lay flat against the surface of the vent unit to a position where the non fixed ends of the side deflectors come in contact with the lip around the hole of the base unit. 
   
   
       15 . The vent system of  claim 14 , where the side deflectors are attached to the vent unit by means of a pin-joint. 
   
   
       16 . The vent system of  claim 12 , further comprising one or more sponge members, where the sponge members are placed between the vent unit and the base unit to block the flow of air in a specific direction. 
   
   
       17 . The vent system of  claim 12 , further comprising one or more panel members, where the panel members are placed between the vent unit and the base unit to block the flow of air in a specific direction. 
   
   
       18 . The vent system of  claim 12 , where the vent unit is manufactured to be a specific color or transparency. 
   
   
       19 . The vent system of  claim 12 , where the vent unit is manufactured to disperse a particular scent. 
   
   
       20 . The vent system of  claim 12 , where the sponge members are manufactured to disperse a particular scent. 
   
   
       21 . The vent system of  claim 12 , where there is a set distance between the vent unit and base unit, where the distance is determined by the length of the screw casings. 
   
   
       22 . The vent system of  claim 12 , where the bottom deflectors are designed to block the flow of air therefore forcing the air out the side of the vent between the vent unit and the base unit.
