Abstract
Description
[0001] The invention relates to an adapter for mounting on the round exhaust hose of mobile air conditioners, with a connection for attaching the adapter to a window sash. Mobile air conditioners are devices that cool the room air. To do so, these devices require an exhaust hose through which they transport the warm air and condensate from the room to be cooled. This hose is usually routed out of the nearest window. State of the art:
[0002] It's possible to extend the spiral hose out of a wide-open window and cover the window with a so-called window kit to prevent warm air from flowing back into the room. This has the following disadvantages: -The window must be wide open and therefore usually extends far into the room. -The window kit must be glued to the window frame and sash. Quick removal is therefore not possible. • There are so-called roller shutter window covers, which have a connection on one side for the existing exhaust hose of the air conditioner. These are clamped under the lowered external roller shutter of the window. This results in the following disadvantages: -The window must be wide open and therefore extend far into the room. - A permanently installed roller shutter system is required for installation. • It is possible to install a panel in the window that has a connection for the air conditioner's exhaust hose. While this is very efficient, as the panels are often made of a heat-insulating material, it has the following disadvantages: -To mount the panel in the window, it must be wide open and thus protrude far into the room. -Since the panel has to cover the entire window, it is usually large and unwieldy. -Due to the fixed installation of the panel in the window, dismantling requires a lot of time and effort. This is new:
[0003] The exhaust hose adapter presented here has the following special features: The adapter connects to the existing exhaust hose of the air conditioner via a screw connection. For air conditioners with a plastic ring at the end of the exhaust hose, it can be attached to the exhaust hose via the plug connection.
[0004] The exhaust hose adapter is simply placed over a tilted wall window or through the gap of a slightly open skylight. For additional support, a bracket can be mounted around the exhaust hose adapter and securely connected to the window via clamp brackets. This prevents the exhaust hose adapter from falling out of the window gap.
[0005] Advantages: • Easy installation, as the exhaust air adapter can be universally mounted to suit all types of windows. • Quick installation and disassembly, as the exhaust hose adapter can be easily pulled out of the window opening in seconds. The mounting module does not need to be removed. The window can simply be closed again with the module. • Suitable for roof windows, wall windows and sliding windows. • Secure hold on the window thanks to the strong clamp connection between the exhaust hose adapter and the window sash.
[0006] The exhaust hose adapter is attached to the air conditioner's exhaust hose by twisting it. For exhaust hoses with a plastic ring at the end, it is simply plugged onto the ring using the plug-in connector.
[0007] In the second step, the exhaust hose adapter is placed over the tilted wall window or through the slot of a slightly open skylight. The mounting module is slid over the exhaust hose adapter and firmly connected to the window sash by tightening the screws on the clamp brackets.
Claims
[] Exhaust hose adapter with a fastening for fixing to the window sash, characterized by that a plastic adapter (1), preferably made of a heat-resistant material, for discharging the exhaust air from mobile air conditioning units, can be attached to the existing exhaust air hose (2), can be laid through the small gap (3) of the tilted wall window due to its narrow shape and is fastened to the window sash (6) with a clamping function (5) via a mounting module (4) which can be connected to the exhaust air hose adapter by plugging it on or slipping it over.
