Securing an air conditioning unit to a building by applying force to an interior and an exterior surface of the building

摘要

A system for securing an air conditioning unit to a building without the need for any alteration and/or damage to the building itself. The system includes a cross bar, an air conditioning unit support, and a strut. The arrangement of the components results in the cross bar applying an outward force to an interior surface of the building and strut applying an inward force to an exterior surface of the building in response to the downward force exerted on the air conditioning unit support. The sum of the forces applied on the surfaces of the building is sufficient to secure the air conditioning unit to the building.

主权项

1. A system that secures an air conditioning unit at a fixed position, the system comprising:
an adjustable first member that, when extended, extends beyond the width of a window of a building and abuts an interior surface of the building on either side of the window; a single support member comprising an inner sleeve and an outer sleeve, where an effective length of the single support member is adjustable by sliding the inner sleeve or outer sleeve along their length with respect to one another; the single support member, when coupled to the adjustable first member, extends from the center of the adjustable first member at the center of the window, the single support member supporting the air conditioning unit; and a third member, when coupled to the inner sleeve, extends between the inner sleeve and an exterior surface of the building.
