PCT No. PCT/BR96/00065 Sec. 371 Date Jul. 13, 1998 Sec. 102(e) Date Jul. 13, 1998 PCT Filed Dec. 11, 1996 PCT Pub. No. WO98/26232 PCT Pub. Date Jun. 18, 1998An indoor grille for an air conditioning unit is provided with a horizontal slot through which a substantially rectangular filter element is adapted to be installed. The filter receiving slot is provided with latching structure thereon which is adapted to latchingly engage mating structure on a horizontally extending structural portion of the filter to thereby latch and retain the filter in its desired position when installed in the grille assembly. The latching structure is manually releasable to facilitate easy withdrawal of the filter from the grille. The latching structure also serves to protect the filter from falling out of the slot under the influence of gravity when the grille is oriented upside down.
