Abstract

An air filtration assembly for selectively eliminating smoke from an area includes a housing that may be coupled to a support surface. A motor is coupled to the housing. A fan is operationally coupled to the motor. The motor moves the fan. An actuator is coupled to the housing. The actuator is operationally coupled to the motor so the actuator selectively actuates the motor. A filter is coupled to the housing. The filter is operationally coupled to the fan. The fan draws air through the filter so the filter removes smoke from the air. A screen is operationally coupled to the housing. The screen is selectively extendable from the housing.

Claims

1. An air filtration assembly for selectively eliminating smoke from an area, said assembly comprising:

a housing configured to be coupled to a support surface;

a motor coupled to said housing;

a fan operationally coupled to said motor wherein said motor moves said fan;

an actuator coupled to said housing, said actuator being operationally coupled to said motor wherein said actuator selectively actuates said motor;

a filter coupled to said housing, said filter being operationally coupled to said fan wherein said fan draws air through said filter wherein said filter removes smoke from the air;

a screen operationally coupled to said housing wherein said screen is selectively extendable from said housing; and

an L-shaped tube coupled to and extending laterally away from a second lateral side of an intake portion of said housing wherein a vertical portion of said L-shaped tube extends downwardly from said housing.

2. The assembly according to claim 1 further comprising an outer wall of said housing having a width being greater than a height of said outer wall of said housing wherein said housing has a rectangular parallelepiped shape.

3. The assembly according to claim 1 further comprising said fan being rotatably coupled to said motor wherein said fan is positioned within an interior of said housing.

4. The assembly according to claim 1 further comprising said actuator being coupled to a first lateral side of an intake portion of said housing.

5. The assembly according to claim 1 further comprising said actuator being electrically coupled to said motor.

6. The assembly according to claim 1 further comprising said L-shaped tube being in fluid communication with said fan wherein said fan urges air inwardly through an open bottom end of said L-shaped tube.

7. The assembly according to claim 1 further comprising said filter being elongated along a longitudinal axis extending through a open top end and a bottom end of said filter.

8. The assembly according to claim 1 further comprising an open top end of said filter threadably engaging an open bottom end of said L-shaped tube wherein said filter is removably coupled to said L-shaped tube.

9. The assembly according to claim 1 further comprising a screen slot extending through a first lateral side of an outer wall of said housing wherein said screen slot extends between a top side and a bottom side of said outer wall of said housing.

10. The assembly according to claim 1 further comprising said screen being slidably coupled to said housing.

11. The assembly according to claim 1 further comprising said screen being positionable in an extended position wherein said screen extends outwardly from a screen slot.

12. The assembly according to claim 1 further comprising said screen being positionable in a retracted position wherein said screen is positioned within an interior of said housing.

13. The assembly according to claim 1 further comprising a power supply coupled to said housing.

14. The assembly according to claim 13 further comprising said power supply being electrically coupled to said actuator.

15. The assembly according to claim 14 further comprising said power supply comprising a power cord extending outwardly from a second lateral side of an outer wall of said housing.

16. An air filtration assembly for selectively eliminating smoke from an area, said assembly comprising:

a housing configured to be coupled to a support surface, an outer wall of said housing having a width being greater than a height of said outer wall of said housing wherein said housing has a rectangular parallelepiped shape;

a motor coupled to said housing;

a fan rotatably coupled to said motor wherein said fan is positioned within an interior of said housing;

an actuator coupled to a first lateral side of an intake portion of said housing, said actuator being electrically coupled to said motor wherein said actuator selectively actuates said motor;

an L-shaped tube coupled to and extending laterally away from a second lateral side of said intake portion of said housing wherein a vertical portion of said L-shaped tube extends downwardly from said housing, said L-shaped tube being in fluid communication with said fan wherein said fan urges air inwardly through an open bottom end of said L-shaped tube;

a filter being elongated along a longitudinal axis extending through an open top end and a bottom end of said filter, said open top end of said filter threadably engaging an open bottom end of said L-shaped tube wherein said filter is removably coupled to said L-shaped tube wherein said fan draws air through said filter wherein said filter removes smoke from the air;

a screen slot extending through a first lateral side of said outer wall of said housing wherein said screen slot extends between a top side and a bottom side of said outer wall of said housing;

a screen slidably coupled to said housing, said screen being positionable in an extended position wherein said screen extends outwardly from said screen slot, said screen being positionable in a retracted position wherein said screen is positioned within an interior of said housing; and

a power supply coupled to said housing, said power supply being electrically coupled to said actuator, said power supply comprising a power cord extending outwardly from a second lateral side of said outer wall of said housing.
