ENHANCED AXIAL AIR MOVER SYSTEM WITH GRILL

摘要

Implementations of an enhanced axial air mover system address various issues such as drying performance, transportability, storage, use, and assembly. Some implementations include ergonomic positioning of a carrying handle relative to positioning of a fan-assembly to make the system easier to carry. Enclosures with variable diameter profiles increase air flow performance. A floor edge allows for flush positioning of the air mover's outlet to improve flow of air. Various supports and engagement members allow for horizontal and/or vertical engagement of a plurality of the air movers for storage or increased air moving capacity for a given application. An alignment guide assists with positioning of the air mover with respect to a room wall to enhance air flow within the room. A cord retaining system provides an enhanced approach for securing the air mover's electrical cord. Grill guards have slotted ends to assist with assembly of the air mover.

主权项

1. An air mover system comprising:
a fan assembly including a propeller and a motor, the propeller coupled to the motor; and a housing assembly including an enclosure, the enclosure having an interior and an exterior, the fan assembly being positioned in the interior, the interior bounded by an inlet and an outlet, the enclosure having an inlet portion extending from the inlet and an outlet portion extending from the outlet, the inlet portion and the outlet portion including holes to receive screws; and a grill guard including support members with slotted end portions, the slotted end portions each having an elongated opening to engage with a different one of the screws coupled with one of the inlet portion and the outlet portion.
