Air purifying and stabilizing blower
First Claim
1. An air purifying and stabilizing blower adapted to be mounted to a ceiling of a room to create a gentle circulation of air within the room to stabilize room temperature and to simultaneously remove particulate matter from the air, said blower comprising:
- (a) an inner housing in which a motor driven impeller is mounted for rotation to create an air flow, said inner housing including an air inlet in the upper portion thereof for admitting air into the portion of the housing surrounding the impeller and air directing vanes affixed to and extending from said inner housing downstream of said impeller to direct air in a flow path extending generally parallel to the axis of rotation of the impeller through an air outlet into the room;
(b) a relatively large outer housing positioned concentrically around and in spaced-apart relation to said inner housing defining an air intake for directing air into an air intake chamber between inner walls of the outer housing and outer walls of the inner housing, said air intake chamber being in fluid communication with the air inlet in the upper portion of the inner housing to thereby deliver supply air to said impeller; and
(c) filtration means positioned in said air intake chamber downstream from the air intake and upstream of the air inlet in said inner housing,whereby air drawn into said inner housing for circulation back into the room is first filtered to remove particulate matter.

Abstract
A blower (10) comprises a relatively large outer housing (16) positioned concentrically around and in spaced-apart relation to an inner housing (15). The space between the inner housing (15) and the outer housing (16) defines an air intake (25) which leads into an air intake chamber (26). A high efficiency carbon filter (22) and a fiberglass filter (23) are positioned together within air intake chamber (26) and filter air as it flows therethrough. After filtration, the air is directed by an impeller (30) within inner housing (15) downwardly through vanes (35).
