Abstract

A long-handled adjusting tool for adjusting the internal and external dampers in a register used in an air delivery system. The tool having pointed arm-like extensions for opening dampers that are closed. The tool also having a slot along the center line, thus allowing for adjusting the internal dampers. There are also slots along the sides of the tool for positioning the external dampers to control the amount of air flow.

Claims

1. A tool for adjusting external and internal dampers in a register used in an air delivery system, comprising:

a handle means to reach registers at a distance, and

an adjusting means attached to an end of said handle means including a base for attaching said adjusting means to said handle means, and a body attached to said base and having a longitudinal slot separating said body into two sections allowing adjustment of said internal dampers, each said section having a distal transverse edge with a shallow indent to grip external dampers and prevent slippage, and an outward longitudinal edge having a plurality of angular indents to adjust said external dampers, said longitudinal edge and aid distal transverse edge forming outwardly extending arms for initial opening of said dampers.

2. A tool for adjusting external and internal dampers in a register used in an air delivery system, comprising:

a handle means to reach registers at a distance,

an adjusting means attached to an end of said handle means including a base for attaching said adjusting means to said handle means

a body attached to said base, said body having a front gripping portion and a rear gripping portion, said portions in generally flat parallel spaced relationship to adjust said external dampers,

each said portion having a longitudinal slot separating each said portion into two members, said longitudinal slots being in parallel alignment with each other allowing adjustment of said internal dampers,

each said member having a distal transverse edge with a shallow indent to grip external dampers and prevent slippage and an outward longitudinal edge having a plurality of angular indents to adjust said external dampers, said longitudinal edge and said distal transverse edge forming outwardly extending arms for initial opening of said dampers.

3. An adjusting tool as set forth in claim 2, wherein:

said rear gripping portion is smaller in length than said front gripping portion and each said member of said rear gripping portion having a transverse edge, and an outward longitudinal edge having an angular incident to adjust external dampers, said longitudinal edge and said distal transverse edge forming an angular edge.

4. An adjusting tool as set forth in claim 3, wherein:

said front gripping portion and said rear gripping portion are curved rearward at said distal transverse edge for adjusting said external dampers.
