Air-conditioning system with filter slot and air-treatment device therein

Abstract

An air-conditioning system has a filter slot in which a replaceable filter can be held. An air-treatment device in the air-conditioning system can be introduced into the filter slot through a service opening of same provided in an inlet region of the filter slot and can be mounted and fixed on at least one edge delimiting the service opening of the filter slot.

I claim: 
     
         1 . An air-conditioning system comprising a filter slot in which a replaceable filter can be held, characterized by an air-treatment device in the air-conditioning system can be introduced into the filter slot through a service opening of same provided in an inlet region of the filter slot and can be mounted and fixed on at least one edge delimiting the service opening of the filter slot. 
     
     
         2 . The air-conditioning system according to  claim 1 , the air-treatment device of which can be mounted and fixed on two edges which are perpendicular to each other and delimit the service opening. 
     
     
         3 . The air-conditioning system according to  claim 1  or  2 , wherein the air-treatment device is mounted on the inlet region of the filter slot in such a manner that the replaceable filter can be guided into the filter slot and out of the filter slot through the inlet region of the filter slot, past the air-treatment device. 
     
     
         4 . The air-conditioning system according to  claim 1 , wherein the air-treatment device is fixed on the edge delimiting the service opening of the filter slot by means of at least one metal clip. 
     
     
         5 . The air-conditioning system according to  claim 4 , wherein the at least one metal clip is in the form of an electrical contacting and conducting element for supplying the air-treatment device with electricity. 
     
     
         6 . The air-conditioning system according to  claim 4  or  5 , wherein the at least one metal clip is mounted and fixed on the air-treatment device before the air-treatment device is mounted on the inlet region of the filter slot of the air-conditioning system. 
     
     
         7 . The air-conditioning system according to  claim 6 , wherein the at least one metal clip is injection-molded into a base part of the air-treatment device, wherein the base part can be fixed bearing against an inner face of the air-conditioning system which forms the edge delimiting the service opening of the filter slot. 
     
     
         8 . The air-conditioning system according to  claim 4 , wherein the at least one metal clip is formed from a spring steel. 
     
     
         9 . The air-conditioning system according to  claim 1 , wherein the air-treatment device is in the form of an ionization and/or fragrancing device and/or an ozonator. 
     
     
         10 . The air-conditioning system according to  claim 4 , wherein the at least one metal clip is U-shaped and fixes the base part of the air-treatment device on the inlet region of the filter slot by fitting astraddle over the edge delimiting the service opening of the filter slot. 
     
     
         11 . The air-conditioning system according to  claim 4 , the at least one metal clip of which has a material thickness of no more than 0.8 mm. 
     
     
         12 . The air-conditioning system according to  claim 11  wherein the material thickness is 0.5 mm or less. 
     
     
         13 . An air-treatment device, preferably an ionization and/or fragrancing device and/or an ozonator, for mounting and fixing in an air-conditioning system according to  claim 1 .
