Apparatus for diverting air

Abstract

The present application is directed towards an apparatus for diverting air in a selected direction from an existing floor air vent. The apparatus for diverting air includes a sheet of flexible material having a front surface and a rear surface extending between front and rear edges and first and second side edges. The first and second side edges and the front and rear edges are configured to be securable to corresponding edges of the vent.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An apparatus for diverting air discharged from a forced air vent comprising:
 a) a sheet of flexible material having a front surface and a rear surface extending between a front and rear edges and first and second side edges, the first and second side edges and the front and rear edges being securable to corresponding edges of the vent;   b) wherein the flexible sheet is movable between a resting position adjacent to the air vent and a raised position forming a cavity therein when air is discharged through the air vent; and   c) at least one of the front and rear surfaces having at least one discontinuity forming an outlet therein for diverting and changing the airflow from the air vent.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the sheet is bendable to an arcuate shape cross-section while in the raised position. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the sheet is bendable to a rectangular shape cross-section while in the raised position. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the sheet is formed of a material selected from the group consisting of plastic, rubber, synthetic material, and fabric. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the at least one continuity is in the shape of a rectangle. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 5 , wherein the shape is a square. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein each of the front and rear surface comprises at least two laterally aligned outlets. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 7 , wherein the at least one continuity is in the shape of a rectangle. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 8 , wherein the shape is a square. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising an upper surface containing an object which provides a fragrance to the airflow. 
     
     
         11 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the first and second side edges and the front and rear edges include a means for attaching to the perimeter of the forced air vent. 
     
     
         12 . The apparatus of  claim 11 , wherein the means for attaching is chosen from the group of hook and loop fastener, one or more magnets, an adhesive tape, snaps, or adhesive. 
     
     
         13 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising one or more selectively attachable outlet covers. 
     
     
         14 . The apparatus of  claim 13 , wherein the one or more selectively attachable outlet covers provides a surface area larger than the area of the requisite outlet. 
     
     
         15 . The apparatus of  claim 14 , wherein the selectively attachable outlet covers are attachable by way of hook and loop material. 
     
     
         16 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , further comprising a creative design such as a team logo or other indicia displayed outward on the flexible material.
