Air moving device
First Claim
1. An air moving device comprising:
- a housing having an upstream end and a downstream end;
an impeller positioned at least partially within the housing and configured to direct air into the upstream end and out from the downstream end of the housing;
a mount configured to connect to an installation site; and
a plurality of flexible connectors connecting the housing to the mount, each of the plurality of flexible connectors having a first end comprising an anchor and a second end connected to the housing;
wherein the anchors are configured to adjustably mate with the mount in at least two mounting positions; and
wherein the second end of one of the plurality of flexible connectors is positioned closer to the mount when the anchor on a respective flexible connector is in a first mounting position than when the anchor of the respective flexible connector is in a second mounting position.

Abstract
An air moving device according to the present disclosure can include a housing and an installation hub. The housing can be connected to the installation hub via one or more adjustable supports. An impeller can be installed at least partially in the housing and configured to direct air out of the housing. In some embodiments, the adjustable supports can be adjusted to move the housing with respect to the installation hub. For example, the adjustable supports can be configured to modify the tilt of the housing and/or the overall distance between the housing and the installation hub. The installation hub can be installed on a ceiling, wall, or other mounting surface. Adjustment of the adjustable supports can permit vertical alignment of the air moving device housing, even when the installation hub is mounted to a slanted or sloped (e.g., non-horizontal) ceiling or wall.
