Air flow deflector attachment and system

Abstract

In one aspect, this disclosure is related to an air flow deflector comprising a base having a front portion, back portion, two side portions, a deflector portion, and an opening. The two sides of the base can each have an aperture configured to couple the base to an air vent or register. The opening of the base can define at least a portion of an air outlet. Extending upwardly from the back end of the base and outwardly away from the rear surface of the back end of the base is a single wall forming a deflector portion. The deflector portion is configured to have no side supports to allow for flexing when an external force is applied to the single wall. The deflector portion is also capable of retaining its original shape upon removal of the external force.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An air flow deflector comprising:
 a base having a back portion, at least one side portion, and an opening, wherein said opening defines at least a portion of an air outlet;   a deflector portion comprising a single wall extending upward from the back portion of the base and outwardly away from the back portion of the base, wherein said deflector portion is configured to have no side supports.   
     
     
         2 . The air flow deflector of  claim 1 , wherein said base is configured to be coupled to a standard sized air register. 
     
     
         3 . The air flow deflector of  claim 1 , wherein the base has a two parallel side portions, wherein said back portion extends between said parallel side portions. 
     
     
         4 . The air flow deflector of  claim 3 , wherein said base further comprises a front portion and is connected to the back portion by said side portions, wherein the back portion, front portion, and side portions define an opening. 
     
     
         5 . The air flow deflector of  claim 3 , further comprising apertures on each side portion configured to accept a fastener. 
     
     
         6 . The air flow deflector of  claim 1 , wherein said deflector portion is a half arch shape and extends away from the back portion of the base, wherein the deflector portion extends over at least a portion of the opening. 
     
     
         7 . An air flow deflector system comprising:
 an air vent having a face structure through which a flow air passes; and   an air flow deflector having a base with a back edge, and a deflector portion, wherein said air flow deflector is removeably coupled to said air vent;   wherein said base has an opening defining said face structure of said air vent;   wherein said deflector portion extends from said back portion of said base portion, arching upward and extending over said opening;   and wherein said deflector portion is adapted to retain its contour and configuration under an external force.   
     
     
         8 . The air flow deflector system of  claim 7 , wherein said air flow deflector is configured to be coupled to said air vent. 
     
     
         9 . The air flow deflector system of  claim 7 , wherein said air flow deflector further comprises a front edge connected to the back edge by at least one side edge. 
     
     
         10 . The air flow deflector system of  claim 7 , wherein said deflector portion is a half arch shape and extends away from the back portion of the base, wherein the deflector portion extends over at least a portion of the opening. 
     
     
         11 . The air flow deflector system of  claim 7 , wherein said deflector portion is configured to allow for flexing when an external force is applied to the single wall. 
     
     
         12 . A method for producing an air deflector adapted to be attached to an air vent register and deflect air flowing out of the register, comprising:
 providing a material;   forming a first iteration of the air deflector from said material by forming the first iteration from the material, said first iteration having:
 a deflector portion, 
 a base having a back portion, at least one side portion, and 
 an opening, wherein said opening defines at least a portion of an air outlet; and 
   forming a second iteration of the air deflector from said first iteration wherein a half arch shape is formed extending away from the back portion of the base and the deflector portion extends over at least a portion of the opening.   
     
     
         13 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein said first iteration further comprises a front portion. 
     
     
         14 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein said material is metal. 
     
     
         15 . The method of  claim 14 , wherein said forming of the first iteration is done by stamping out the first iteration from a piece of material. 
     
     
         16 . The method of  claim 15 , wherein said forming of the second iteration by partially folding the deflector portion along an axis between said back portion and deflector portion. 
     
     
         17 . The method of  claim 12 , further comprising of applying a paint primer on the air deflector. 
     
     
         18 . The method of  claim 12 , further comprising forming at least one aperture on a side portion configured to accept a fastener. 
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 12 , wherein said deflector portion is adapted to retain its contour and configuration under an external force.
