Enhanced axial air mover system with matrix

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; and   a housing assembly including an enclosure, the enclosure having a bottom and a top, the enclosure having an interior bounded by an inlet and an outlet, an inlet portion extending from the inlet and an outlet portion extending from the outlet, the fan assembly positioned within the enclosure, a first portion of the bottom shaped to at least partially support the inlet portion and a second portion of the bottom shaped to at least partially support the outlet portion on a floor, for a second copy of the air mover system, the top having a first portion shaped to support the first portion of the bottom of the copy, the top having a second portion shaped to support the second portion of the bottom of the copy when the copy is positioned on top of the air mover system.   
     
     
         2 . An air mover system comprising:
 a fan assembly including a propeller and a motor, the propeller coupled to the motor; and   a housing assembly including an enclosure, the enclosure having a port and a starboard, the enclosure having an interior bounded by an inlet and an outlet, an inlet portion extending from the inlet and an outlet portion extending from the outlet, the fan assembly positioned within the enclosure, for a copy of the air mover system, a first portion the port shaped to engage a first portion of the starboard of the copy, a second portion of the port shaped to engage a second portion of the starboard of the copy;   a grill guard including support members with slotted end portions, the slotted end portions each having an elongated opening to engage with a different one of the screws coupled with one of the inlet portion and the outlet portion.
