Air circulation apparatus
First Claim
1. Air circulation apparatus comprising:
- an elongated tubular member having opposite ends with an air inlet opening in one end and an air outlet opening in the other end thereof, said member having a longitudinal axis,a floor pole secured to said tubular member at said one end thereof, said pole having a distal end to which is attached a resilient cap adapted frictionally to engage a flat surface,a ceiling pole secured to said tubular member at said other end thereof, said ceiling pole having a distal end to which is attached a second resilient cap adapted frictionally to engage a flat surface,at least one of said poles being extensibly connected to said tubular member for rectilinear movement along a direction generally collinear with the longitudinal axis of said tubular member, means for forcibly extending said one pole along said direction, whereby said apparatus may be frictionally supported in a vertical position between the floor and ceiling of a room,blower means mounted within said tubular member adjacent said inlet opening for drawing air in said inlet opening and forcing it out said outlet opening, andan air deflector at said other end of said tubular member directed toward said outlet opening.

Abstract
An air circulation apparatus for achieving more uniform temperature conditions throughout the room by drawing cooler air upwardly from the floor level and discharging it near the ceiling. The apparatus comprises a vertical tubular member having an air inlet at its lower end and a plurality of circumferentially spaced air outlets at its upper end, a motor-driven blower in the lower portion of the tubular member and a deflector mounted adjacent the outlets for directing the moving air through the outlets in a lateral direction. The tubular member is frictionally supported between the floor and ceiling by means of a pair of rubber capped poles extending from the upper and lower ends thereof. The upper pole is telescopically received within the tubular member and urged into frictional engagement with the ceiling by means of a compressed spring. If desired, decorative brackets suitable for hanging flower pots or the like may be mounted on the tubular member. A differential thermostatic control circuit may be provided to energize the blower motor.
