Abstract
An apparatus that attaches to a ceiling fan and extracts allergens and impurities from the air. The apparatus hangs off the front edge of the ceiling fan paddles [blades] and covers up to 100% of the paddle's body.
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD

Certain embodiments of the present disclosure generally relate to ceiling fan paddle air filters.


BACKGROUND

Ceiling fan paddles contact 50% to 85% of the air they move.


This creates an opportunity for using a ceiling for air filtration.


SUMMARY OF THE DISCLOSURE

Certain embodiments provide a method, system or device with a hypoallergenic coating, whereby allergens and impurities are extracted from the air.







BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS


FIG. 1 illustrates top view of filter (1), receding up to 20% from back of paddle (2) and is overhanging up to 20% in front of paddle. Front of filter/paddle is defined by side of paddle facing paddle rotation—back of filter/paddle is facing away from paddle rotation.



FIG. 2 illustrates side view of filter and paddle. (4) points to Retention Chord or Band.



FIG. 3 illustrates bottom of filter (1). FIG. 3 also illustrates clip and Velcro placement areas (3) and paddle extending beyond filter up to 20%.

Claims
