Interchangeable duct seal

Abstract

An interchangeable duct seal is provided. The interchangeable duct seal includes a first panel, the first panel having a first support structure and a first material attached to the first support structure; and a brace configured for securing the first panel to a structure; wherein the first panel includes a first opening and is configured to connect to a first duct and/or allow the first duct to pass through the interchangeable duct seal. The interchangeable duct seal may also include a second panel or multiple panels. Related kits and methods are also provided.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . An interchangeable seal, comprising:
 a first panel, the first panel having a first support structure and a first material attached to the first support structure; and   a brace configured for securing the first panel to a surface of an entryway, wherein the entryway is a window entryway, a door entryway, or a dock door entryway, and wherein the brace is configured to be positioned on an opposite side of the entryway from the first panel;   wherein the first panel includes a first opening passing through the interchangeable seal.   
     
     
         2 . The interchangeable seal of  claim 1 , wherein the first support structure is a frame at least partially surrounding the first material. 
     
     
         3 . The interchangeable seal of  claim 1 , further comprising a second panel, the second panel having a second support structure and a second material attached to the second support structure;
 wherein the brace is configured for securing the first panel or the first panel and the second panel to the surface of the entryway; and   wherein the first panel and the second panel are connected by a connection, wherein the connection is a bracket and/or a hinged connection.   
     
     
         4 . The interchangeable seal as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the second panel includes a second opening passing through the interchangeable seal. 
     
     
         5 . The interchangeable seal as claimed in  claim 3 , wherein the interchangeable seal is configured to fit to and seal the door entryway. 
     
     
         6 . The interchangeable seal as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the interchangeable seal is configured to fit to and seal the window entryway and comprises a single panel. 
     
     
         7 . The interchangeable seal as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein the first panel includes a cuff connector having a first attachment means and a second attachment means. 
     
     
         8 . The interchangeable seal as claimed in  claim 7 , wherein the first attachment means is a strap and buckle and wherein the second attachment means is a rigid hoop. 
     
     
         9 . The interchangeable seal as claimed in  claim 4 , wherein the first opening provides air intake into the structure and the second opening exhausts air from the structure. 
     
     
         10 . An interchangeable seal, comprising:
 a first panel, the first panel having a first support structure and a first material attached to the first support structure;   a second panel, the second panel having a second support structure and a second material attached to the second support structure; and   a brace configured for securing the first panel and/or the second panel to a structure;   wherein the first panel and the second panel are connected by a connection; and   wherein the first panel and/or the second panel include an opening passing through the interchangeable seal.   
     
     
         11 . The interchangeable seal of  claim 10 , wherein the connection is a bracket and/or a hinged connection. 
     
     
         12 . The interchangeable seal of  claim 10 , wherein the connection connects the first support structure and the second support structure. 
     
     
         13 . The interchangeable seal of  claim 10 , wherein the first support structure is a frame at least partially surrounding the first material. 
     
     
         14 . The interchangeable seal of  claim 10 , wherein the first panel and/or the second panel includes a cuff connector having a first attachment means and a second attachment means. 
     
     
         15 . The interchangeable seal of  claim 10 , wherein the first attachment means is a strap and buckle and wherein the second attachment means is a rigid hoop. 
     
     
         16 . The interchangeable seal of  claim 10 , further comprising a third panel, the third panel having a third support structure and a third material attached to the third support structure and a fourth panel, the fourth panel having a fourth support structure and a fourth material attached to the fourth support structure. 
     
     
         17 . The interchangeable seal of  claim 10 , wherein the first panel includes a first opening used to provide air intake to the structure and the second panel includes a second opening used to exhaust air from the structure. 
     
     
         18 . A method of providing ducting for an entryway of a structure, comprising:
 positioning a first panel proximate the entryway, wherein the first panel includes a first support structure and a first material attached to the first support structure;   securing the first panel to the entryway using a brace such that the first panel seals the entryway; and   connecting a first duct to the first panel and/or passing a first duct through the first panel;   wherein the brace is positioned on an opposite side of the entryway from the first panel.   
     
     
         19 . The method of  claim 18 , further comprising:
 positioning a second panel proximate the entryway, wherein the second panel includes a second support structure and a second material attached to the second support structure; and   securing the first panel or securing the first panel and the second panel to the entryway using the brace;   wherein the second support structure is configured to be connected to the first support structure by a connection.   
     
     
         20 . The method of  claim 18 , wherein the first support structure is a frame at least partially surrounding the first material.
