Abstract

One possible of the embodiment could be a toe-kick air outlet cover comprising of a body having at least three walls and a four-edged cover plate; the walls are attached to three respective and continuous edges of the four-edged cover plate to generally form a continuous wall structure; a bar, the bar being connected to the continuous wall structure; wherein the body further forms an open bottom and an open side, with the open bottom being placed over a toe kick airway and the open side being placed against a toe kick ventilator to continuously connect the airway to the ventilator.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A toe-kick air outlet cover comprising:
 (A) a body, the body having at least three walls and a four-edged cover plate;   (B) the walls are attached to three respective and continuous edges of the four-edged cover plate to generally form a continuous wall structure;   (C) a bar, the bar being connected to the continuous wall structure;   wherein the body further forms an open bottom and an open side, with the open bottom being placed over a toe kick airway and the open side being placed against a toe kick ventilator to continuously connect the airway to the ventilator.   
   
   
       2 . The toe-kick air outlet cover of  claim 1  wherein the walls are in a perpendicular orientation to the plate. 
   
   
       3 . The toe-kick air outlet cover of  claim 1  wherein the walls are continuously attached to another at their respective side edges. 
   
   
       4 . The toe-kick air outlet cover of  claim 1  wherein the bar has a cross-shape forming a bar body, two wings, and two ends, with the wings being bent perpendicular to the bar body to give the bar a U-shaped cross section. 
   
   
       5 . The toe-kick air outlet cover of  claim 4  wherein the ends are bent to form end channels to receive portions of the continuous wall structure. 
   
   
       6 . The toe-kick air outlet cover of  claim 1  wherein the bar connects two of opposing walls. 
   
   
       7 . The toe-kick air outlet cover of  claim 1  wherein the bar further demarcates the open bottom from the open side. 
   
   
       8 . The toe-kick air outlet cover of  claim 5  wherein the bar prevents portions of the continuous wall structure from splaying. 
   
   
       9 . The toe-kick air outlet cover of  claim 1  wherein the body is formed from a T-shaped fiberglass duct board having V-shaped grooves cut into it to demarcate three sides from a top, wherein the three sides are placed in perpendicular orientation relative to the top and glued together along their respective mutual edges and their respective V-shaped grooves. 
   
   
       10 . A toe-kick air outlet cover comprising:
 (A) a body having a four-edge cover plate and three walls, one non-opposing wall and two opposing walls, the two opposing walls are made by placing the opposing edges of the cover plate in a perpendicular orientation to the cover plate, the one opposing wall is a sheet attached to the cover plate and two opposing walls to form a cap structure;   (B) the cap structure further forming an open side and an open bottom;   wherein the open bottom secures over a toe kick airway to place the open side proximate to a toe kick ventilator of a cabinetry structure that is placed over the cap structure.   
   
   
       11 . The toe-kick air outlet cover of  claim 10  wherein the walls are in perpendicular orientation relative to the cover plate. 
   
   
       12 . The toe-kick air outlet cover of  claim 10  wherein the three walls are continuously attached to another at their respective edges to form a continuous wall structure. 
   
   
       13 . The toe-kick air outlet cover of  claim 12  wherein the continuous wall structure forms flanges for attachment of the cover to a floor. 
   
   
       14 . The toe-kick air outlet cover of  claim 10  wherein the cover plate further forms a wall flange. 
   
   
       15 . A toe-kick air outlet cover comprising:
 (A) a body, the body having three walls attaching to three respective and continuous edges of four-edged cover plate to create a cap structure;   (B) the cap structure further forming an open side and an open bottom;   (C) the sheath, the sheath being located over at least a portion of the cover plate and two walls;   wherein when the body is placed over a toe kick air outlet and the sheath connects to a toe kick register so that the outlet is continuously connected to a toe register that is remote from the outlet.   
   
   
       16 . The toe kick air outlet covering of  claim 15  wherein the sheath is moved along the body to the continuously connect to toe kick air outlet the toe-kick register. 
   
   
       17 . The toe kick air outlet covering of  claim 15  wherein the sheath has an inverted U-Shaped. 
   
   
       18 . The toe kick air outlet covering of  claim 15  wherein sheath further features a flange for attachment to a floor. 
   
   
       19 . The toe kick air outlet covering of  claim 15  wherein the sheath is made from sheet metal. 
   
   
       20 . A toe kick air outlet covering of  claim 15  wherein the body made from wood.
