Enhanced axial air mover system cord retainer

Abstract

Implementations of an enhanced axial air mover system address various issues such as drying performance, transportability, storage, use, and assembly. Some implementations include ergonomic positioning of a carrying handle relative to positioning of a fan-assembly to make the system easier to carry. Enclosures with variable diameter profiles increase air flow performance. A floor edge allows for flush positioning of the air mover's outlet to improve flow of air. Various supports and engagement members allow for horizontal and/or vertical engagement of a plurality of the air movers for storage or increased air moving capacity for a given application. An alignment guide assists with positioning of the air mover with respect to a room wall to enhance air flow within the room. A cord retaining system provides an enhanced approach for securing the air mover's electrical cord. Grill guards have slotted ends to assist with assembly of the air mover.

1 . An air mover system comprising:
 a fan assembly including a propeller and a motor, the propeller coupled to the motor, the motor coupled to a power cord having a length and a head;   a housing assembly including an enclosure, the enclosure having an interior and an exterior, the fan assembly being positioned in the interior, the power cord extending from the motor through a passageway through the enclosure exterior to the enclosure, the interior bounded by an inlet and an outlet, the fan assembly positioned within the interior, the enclosure further including a protruding member; and   an elastic member coupled to the head of the power cord, the elastic member shaped to removably couple to the protruding member, the power cord passageway positioned, the power cord length sized, and the protruding member positioned to allow the elastic member to stretch with sufficient tension when coupled with the protruding member to secure the power cord in place with the power cord having been wrapped around a portion of the enclosure.
