US Patent:

47778709, Oct 18, 1988

Filed:

Nov 2, 1987

Appl. No.:

7/115301

Inventors:

Theodore S. Bolton - Liverpool NY
Richard D. Lang - Chittenango NY

Assignee:

Carrier Corporation - Syracuse NY

International Classification:

F24F 316

US Classification:

98 4024

Abstract:

The discharge air sweep mechanism for an air conditioner is provided with slippage in its drive linkage such that the position of the vanes can be manually adjusted when the drive motor is turned off, or if the vanes become jammed during normal air sweep operation, the drive motor can continue to operate without damage to the mechanism. In one form of linkage, frictional engagement is provided by a pair of arms that are biased together with engaged member disposed therebetween, with the engaged member being allowed to slide between the arms upon the occurrences of either of the above mentioned conditions. Vane stop means is provided to automatically recalibrate the relative positions when normal air sweep operation is resumed.

International Classification:

F24F 1300

US Classification:

98114

Abstract:

A plastic sleeve assembly and an air conditioning unit are disclosed for mounting the air conditioning unit in a through-the-wall application. The sleeve assembly includes flange members with screw holes therethrough and standoffs about the screw holes, such that the air conditioning unit, having an L-shaped sealing flange thereon, when inserted into the sleeve and fastened thereto, causes the standoff on the flange to be in compression and not tension as the standoff makes contact with the L-shaped sealing flange when a fastener secures the air conditioner in the sleeve.

International Classification:

H03H 1120

US Classification:

333164

Abstract:

The invention relates to a voltage controlled analog phase shifter for operation at millimeter and microwave wavelengths using MMIC (Monolithic Microwave Integrated circuit) fabrication techniques. The phase shifter is formed of an artificial transmission line consisting of multiple unit elements in which each unit element contains a serial transmission line-inductance and a shunt diode capacitance which is variable as a function of an applied potential. In the design, the interconnecting transmission lines may be a small fraction of a wavelength, substantially less than one-quarter wavelength, and of high impedance relative to the characteristic impedance of the phase shifter. In consequence of the lumped design, each unit element, and a phase shifter using a plurality of such unit elements may be very small. The design also exhibits a low to negligible power consumption.

US Classification:

343821

Abstract:

An improved element for use in an electrically steered antenna array is disclosed comprising a dipole, an integral balun and a 180. degree. phase shift bit. The arrangement utilizes printed circuit techniques throughout using an unbalanced microstrip for connection to electrical circuitry, a balun for transitioning from unbalanced microstrip to a balanced dipole antenna and includes a low loss 180. degree. phase shift bit formed by the use of a branched feed network including two diodes whose conductive states determine the sense of antenna excitation, and produce the equivalent of a 180. degree. phase shift bit.

International Classification:

F24F 102

US Classification:

98 94AC

Abstract:

Apparatus and a method are disclosed for mounting a grille assembly to a sleeve designed for installation of an air conditioning unit. Rotatable mounting channels are secured to brackets of the grille assembly and may be manipulated from the interior of the sleeve to allow the grille assembly to be secured to the sleeve from the interior of the building. The sleeve includes a sleeve flange coacting with the grille flange and a channel support member having notches for receiving the rotatable mounting channels of the grille assembly for affixing the grille assembly to the sleeve.

International Classification:

F25D 2312

US Classification:

62263

Abstract:

A sliding lock mechanism is mounted behind the front wall of the chassis, and associated openings are provided in the front and side walls of the chassis to respectively provide operator access to the lock mechanism and allow it to be reciprocally moved so as to extend through the side wall opening to engage a flange surface of the cabinet to thereby lock the chassis in its installed position. A fastener is also provided in the front wall opening to secure the locking member in its engaged position.

International Classification:

F24F 1315

US Classification:

98 4026

Abstract:

A discharge air assembly for use in a room air conditioning unit is disclosed. The discharge air assembly includes both horizontal and vertical louvers for directing the air being discharged in any direction. The horizontal louvers are mounted in V-shaped slots defined by a vertical support member and are secured thereto by a louver retainer which via frictional fit maintains the louvers in the desired position. Additionally, control knobs mounted for sliding displacement are utilized to effect rotational displacement of the vertical air deflectors. The entire assembly is arranged as a subassembly which can be mounted with any room air unit having a discharge opening of a selected size.
