Ventilator with adjustable installation means

摘要

An automatic temperature responsive ventilator including a housing having side walls defining an air passageway and an openwork grid across the passageway. At least one shutter is mounted within the housing, with one end of one shutter element being associated with a bimetallic spring, the inner end of which is received within an opening in one housing side wall. An outer end of the spring is secured to the shutter. A size-adjustable installation device includes a threaded portion which engages a threaded opening in the housing or in a member held non-rotatable relative to the housing. One end of the threaded portion is integral with a non-threaded distal portion having a diameter less than the diameter of the threaded portion and carrying thereon the small diameter end of a conically shaped compression spring. Variations in ambient temperature cause the shutter element to open and close automatically.
