The disclosure and prior art relate to purifying devices and more particularly pertains to a new purifying device for providing clean air and entertainment.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a housing that defines an interior space. A plurality of couplers is coupled to a back of the housing and is configured to couple the housing to a vertical surface. A set of first slots and set of second slots are positioned in the housing and are configured for air to enter and exit the interior space, respectively. A plurality of filters and a blower module are coupled to the housing and are positioned in the interior space. The blower module is configured to draw the air through the first slots and the filters. The air is filtered and expelled from the housing through the second slots.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
A plurality of couplers 26 is coupled to the back 18 of the housing 12. The couplers 26 are configured to couple the housing 12 to a vertical surface, such as an interior wall of a room. The plurality of couplers 26 comprises two couplers 26, each of which comprises a keyhole slot 28. The keyhole slot 28 is configured to insert an article of mounting hardware, such as a nail, a screw, or the like, to couple the housing 12 to the vertical surface.
A set of first slots 30 is positioned in the housing 12 and is configured to allow air to enter the interior space 14. A set of second slots 32 is positioned in the housing 12 and is configured to allow the air to exit the interior space 14. The first slots 30 and the second slots 32 louvered, as shown in
A plurality of filters 38 is coupled to the housing 12 and is positioned in the interior space 14. The plurality of filters 38 comprises a primary filter 40 and a secondary filter 42, as shown in
An orifice 44 is positioned in the bottom 24 of the housing 12 proximate to the filters 38, as shown in
A blower module 48 is coupled to the housing 12 and is positioned in the interior space 14, as shown in
The blower module 48 comprises a power module 50, a motor 52, and a fan 54. The motor 52 is operationally coupled to the power module 50. The fan 54 is coupled to a shaft 56 of the motor 52 so that the motor 52 is positioned to rotate the fan 54 concurrently with the shaft 56 to draw the air through the first slots 30 and the filters 38. The air is filtered and expelled from the housing 12 through the second slots 32.
The power module 50 comprises a cord 58 and a plug 60. The cord 58 is coupled to and extends from the bottom 24 of the housing 12. The plug 60 is coupled to the cord 58 distal from the housing 12. The plug 60 is configured to insert into a socket to operationally couple the blower module 48 to an electrical circuit.
A receiver 62 is coupled to the housing 12 and positioned in the interior space 14. The receiver 62 is operationally coupled to the power module 50. A plurality of speakers 64 is coupled to the housing 12. The speakers 64 are operationally coupled to the power module 50 and the receiver 62. The receiver 62 is configured to receive an audio signal from an electronic device of a user and to relay the audio signal to the speakers 64, positioning the speakers 64 to broadcast the audio signal to an area proximate to the housing 12 for entertainment. The plurality of speakers 64 comprises two speakers 64 that are coupled to the top 22 of the housing 12 singly proximate to the opposing sides 16.
A display 66, which is shaped complementarily to and coupled to the front 20 of the housing 12, is operationally coupled to the power module 50 and the receiver 62. The receiver 62 is configured to receive a video signal from the electronic device of the user and to relay the video signal to the display 66 to present to a person proximate to the housing 12 for entertainment. The display 66 is light emitting diode type.
A plurality of bulbs 68 is coupled to the housing 12 and is operationally coupled to the power module 50. The bulbs 68 are configured to provide backlighting when the housing 12 is coupled to the vertical surface and can serve as a nightlight 70. Each bulb 68 is coupled to a respective opposing side 16 of the housing 12 proximate to the front 20 of the housing 12, as shown in
In use, the housing 12 is mounted to the vertical surface. The blower module 48 draws the air through the first slots 30 and the filters 38. The air is filtered and expelled from the housing 12 through the second slots 32. When desired, the user can send the audio and video signals to be broadcast and displayed, respectively, by the speakers 64 and the display 66, to provide entertainment.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded.
A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the elements is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
