Claims
- 1. An air diffuser for an air distribution system for mounting in proximity to an intersection of a ceiling surface and a wall surface, comprising:a first border member having a first border member surface; a second border member having a second border member surface plural spreaders interconnecting said first and second border members thereby defining an airflow aperture therebetween, a first mounting for mounting said first border member to the ceiling surface with said first border member surface of said first border being generally parallel to the ceiling surface; a second mounting for mounting said second border member to the wall surface with said second border member surface of said second border being generally parallel to the ceiling surface; and a decorative portion depending from said second border member and engaging the wall surface for simulating a molding located at a junction of the ceiling surface with the wall surface.
- 2. An air diffuser for an air distribution system as set forth in claim 1, wherein said decorative portion is unitary with said second border as a one piece extruded assembly.
- 3. An air diffuser for an air distribution system as set forth in claim 1, wherein said decorative portion has a cross-section for simulating a molding located at a junction of the ceiling surface with the wall surface.
- 4. An air diffuser for an air distribution system as set forth in claim 1, wherein said decorative portion has a generally triangular cross-section for simulating a molding located at a junction of the ceiling surface with the wall surface.
- 5. An air diffuser for an air distribution system for mounting in proximity to an intersection of a ceiling surface and a wall surface, comprising:a first border member having a first border member surface; a second border member having a second border member surface plural spreaders interconnecting said first and second border members thereby defining an airflow aperture therebetween, a pattern controller movably disposed between said plural spreaders for controlling the volume of airflow through said airflow aperture; a first mounting for mounting said first border member to the ceiling surface with said first border member surface of said first border being generally parallel to the ceiling surface; a second mounting for mounting said second border member to the wall surface with said second border member surface of said second border being generally parallel to the ceiling surface; a decorative portion unitary with said second border and depending from said second border member; said decorative portion having a cross-section and engaging the wall surface for simulating a molding located at a junction of the ceiling surface with the wall surface.
- 6. An air diffuser for an air distribution system for mounting in proximity to an intersection of a ceiling surface and a wall surface, comprising:a first border member having a first border member surface; a second border member having a second border member surface; plural spreaders interconnecting said first and second border members thereby defining an airflow aperture therebetween; a first mounting for mounting said first border member relative to the ceiling surface with said first border member surface of said first border being generally aligned relative to the ceiling surface; a second mounting for mounting said second border member relative to the wall surface with said second border member surface of said second border being generally aligned relative to the ceiling surface; and a decorative portion depending from said second border member below said ceiling surface and engaging the wall surface for simulating a molding located at a junction of the ceiling surface with the wall surface.
- 7. An air diffuser for an air distribution system as set forth in claim 6, wherein said decorative portions has a generally triangular cross-section for simulating a molding located at a junction of the ceiling surface with the wall surface.
- 8. An air diffuser for an air distribution system for mounting in proximity to an intersection of a ceiling surface and a wall surface, comprising:a first border member having a first border member surface; a second border member having a second border member surface; plural spreaders interconnecting said first and second border members thereby defining an airflow aperture therebetween; a pattern controller movably disposed between said plural spreaders for controlling the volume of airflow through said airflow aperture; a first mounting for mounting said first border member relative to the ceiling surface; a second mounting for mounting said second border member relative to the wall surface; a decorative portion unitary with and depending from said second border member below said ceiling surface; and said decorative portion having a cross-section for simulating a molding located at a junction of the ceiling surface with the wall surface.
