Portable Room Venting System and Method of Venting a Room

Abstract

A portable room venting system and method of venting a room is set up in a room and positioned to seal against at least one exhaust in the ceiling and wall to vent smoke and odors. The venting system provides a telescoping frame that extends from the ground to the ceiling. The ribs articulate in relation to the telescopic leg, extending normal from the telescopic leg and retracting parallel with the telescopic leg. An elongate conduit panel fabricated from a resilient panel covers the collapsible frame, expanding and retracting with the ribs. The conduit panel is in sealed communication with at least one exhaust outlet that forms in the ceiling and / or in the sidewall, so as to vent smoke and odors from the room. The conduit panel carries the smoke to exhausts through a passageway, and out through apertures that form on the side and terminus of the conduit panel.

Description

CROSS REFERENCE OF RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]This application claims the benefits of U.S. provisional application No. 62 / 546,880, filed Aug. 17, 2017 and entitled PORTABLE SMOKE VENTING CHAMBER ASSEMBLY MOUNTABLE TO A CEILING AND A SIDEWALL EXHAUST, which provisional application is incorporated by reference herein in its entirety.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]The present invention relates generally to a portable room venting system and method of venting a room. More so, a venting system provides a telescoping frame that extends from the ground to the ceiling, and a resilient conduit that covers the frame, and is in sealed communication with at least one exhaust outlet that forms in the ceiling and / or in the sidewall, so as to vent smoke and odors from the room.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]The following background information may present examples of specific aspects of the prior art (e.g., without limitation, approaches, facts, or common wisdom) that, while expected to be helpful t...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

The patent text describes a new inventor for a portable smoke venting chamber system. The system contains a lightweight frame and conduit panel that can be easily collapsed and expanded for easy portability. The system is also designed to be easily mounted onto a ceiling and wall exhaust. The technical effects of this invention include improved portability, low cost of manufacture, and efficient air flow.

Problems solved by technology

It is known in the art that the mere presence of smoke, regardless of the inhabitant's awareness of it, is dangerous.

Smoke causes property damage, it is difficult to see through and obviously creates breathing problems making evacuation from a smoke filled environment difficult.

Furthermore, there is growing evidence that non-smokers have shown decreased general health in the presence of secondary smoke.

Typically, modifications to existing public buildings and facilities, or out-of-doors, to create designated smoking areas that effectively contain and filter tobacco smoke for large numbers of people are difficult and expensive.

In all known facilities, such designated smoking areas segregate the population physically into rooms containing either smokers or nonsmokers and do not allow the two groups to commingle in a common area.

Generally, in many indoor environments, air flow from the exterior is limited and the interior air is often recirculated.

This can be problematic when smoke, due to smokers or cooking equipment is trapped in a room.

The problem with these venting systems is that they are not portable.
