Abstract

A chamber ventilation device including an atmospheric pressure mechanism for creating a higher atmospheric pressure environment within an enclosed chamber and a filtering mechanism for filtering air from the outside and surrounding the enclosed chamber. A vehicle ventilation device that includes an atmospheric pressure mechanism and a filtering mechanism.

Claims

1. A chamber ventilation device comprising:

atmospheric pressure means for creating a higher atmospheric pressure

environment within an enclosed chamber; and

filtering means for filtering air into the chamber from outside of the

enclosed chamber.

2. The chamber ventilation device according to claim 1, wherein said atmospheric pressure means is selected from the group consisting of a fan, blower, and vacuum system that draws in or forces air from outside of the chamber into the chamber.

3. The chamber ventilation device according to claim 1, wherein said atmospheric pressure means is powered by power source selected from the group consisting of electrical power outlets of any voltage, dc power outlet, ac power outlet, solar cells, batteries, manual operation, and any other similar power source known to those of skill in the art.

4. The chamber ventilation device according to claim 1, wherein said filtering means includes at least one filter selected from the group consisting of glass fiber, carbon filter, cotton fiber filter, solid chemical filtration media such as those used with gas masks, activated charcoal, silica gel, liquid filter media, water filter medium, and combinations thereof.

5. The chamber ventilation device according to claim 4, wherein said filter is removable and replaceable.

6. The chamber ventilation device according to claim 1, further comprising adapting structure means for securing and placing the chamber ventilation device in an opening of the chamber.

7. The chamber ventilation device according to claim 6, wherein said adapting structure means is selected from the group consisting of impermeable panels, impermeable plates, impermeable membranes, grids, mesh, and combinations thereof.

8. The chamber ventilation device according to claim 7, wherein said adapting structure means further includes securing means for securing and removably fixing the adapting structure means to the opening, said securing means is selected from the group consisting of metal or plastic clips, screws, fasteners, snaps, and combinations thereof.

9. The chamber ventilation device according to claim 8, wherein said adapting structure means further includes sealing means for sealing and creating a tight engagement and seal between adapting structure means and edges of the opening located in the chamber, wherein said sealing means is selected from the group consisting of rubber, silicon, soft metals, alloys, polymers, plastics, wax, and combinations thereof.

10. The chamber ventilation device according to claim 1, wherein said chamber ventilation device is removable and reusable.

11. A vehicle ventilation device comprising:

atmospheric pressure means for creating a higher atmospheric pressure

environment within an enclosed vehicle; and

filtering means for filtering air into the vehicle from outside of the enclosed

vehicle.

12. The vehicle ventilation device according to claim 11, wherein said atmospheric pressure means is selected from the group consisting of a fan, blower, and vacuum system that draws in or forces air from the outside environment of the vehicle into the vehicle.

13. The vehicle ventilation device according to claim 11, wherein said atmospheric pressure means is powered by power source selected from the group consisting of electrical power outlets of any voltage, dc power outlet, ac power outlet, solar cells, batteries, manual operation, and any other similar power source known to those of skill in the art.

14. The vehicle ventilation device according to claim 11, wherein said filtering means includes at least one filter selected from the group consisting of glass fiber, carbon filter, cotton fiber filter, solid chemical filtration media such as those used with gas masks, activated charcoal, silica gel, liquid filter media, water filter medium, and combinations thereof.

15. The vehicle ventilation device according to claim 14, wherein said filter is removable and replaceable.

16. The vehicle ventilation device according to claim 11, further comprising adapting structure means for securing and placing the vehicle ventilation device in an opened window of the vehicle, wherein the opened window has a window frame defined by an edge of a window pane and the edges of the window frame corresponding to the vehicle door or vehicle body.

17. The vehicle ventilation device according to claim 16, wherein said adapting structure means is selected from the group consisting of impermeable panels, impermeable plates, impermeable membranes, grids, mesh, and combinations thereof.

18. The vehicle ventilation device according to claim 17, wherein said adapting structure means further includes securing means for securing and removably fixing the adapting structure means to the opened window, said securing means are selected from the group consisting of metal or plastic clips, screws, bolts, fasteners, snaps, and combinations thereof.

19. The vehicle ventilation device according to claim 18, wherein said adapting structure means further includes sealing means for sealing and creating a tight engagement and seal between adapting structure means and edges of the opening located in the vehicle, wherein said sealing means is selected from the group consisting of rubber, silicon, polymers, plastics, alloys, waxes, and combinations thereof.

20. The vehicle ventilation device according to claim 19, wherein said adapting structure means passively engages the edge of the window pane and actively engages the edges of the window frame corresponding to the vehicle door or vehicle body.

21. The vehicle ventilation device according to claim 11, wherein said vehicle ventilation device is removable and reusable.
