sum 2 or 2 Charles V. Hike Leo W. Hike INI IL'N'I'UKS Aim (IlllttClULA'llWG STOVE HOOD The air circulating stove hood of the instant invention has been designed primarily for use in camper bodies, camper trailers, house trailer bodies and houseboat bodies although it is to be understood that the air circulating stove hood may also be useful in other environments.
When enclosures such as the above-mentioned body struc tures are provided with range or stove hoods for exhausting cooking odors and fumes to the exterior of the enclosure, the air within the enclosure may be changed by operation of the blower assembly of the stove hood as the cooking gases are exhausted if a window or door of the enclosure is opened. However, it is sometimes desired to circulate air within such an enclosure without exhausting appreciable quantities of air from within the enclosure and thus necessitating the intake of fresh air from the exterior of the enclosure to replace the air which has been exhausted.
As an example, if the enclosure is being utilized in the summertime and if provided with an air conditioner, the galley or kitchen area of the enclosure may be disposed somewhat remote from the air conditioner with the result that air is not circulated within the galley area. In addition, an enclosure being utilized during the winter months may be provided with heating means which is remote from the galley area and warm air may not be properly circulated through the galley area.
It is accordingly the main object of this invention to provide a range hood operable to exhaust cooking gases and heat to the exterior of an enclosure within which a stove or range is disposed and including means by which the range or stove hood may be utilized to circulate air within the enclosure im mediately adjacent the hood.
Another object of this invention is to provide a range or stove hood in accordance with the preceding object and which may be in the form of a conventional form of range or stove hood which has been only slightly modified so as to also be adapted for circulating air adjacent the hood as well as exhausting heat and cooking fumes from above the associated stove or range.
A still further object of this invention is to provide a range hood in accordance with the preceding objects and including readily operable controls whereby the hood may be readily converted from cooking gas exhausting operation to an operation of circulating the air within the associated enclosure.
A final object of this invention to be specifically enumerated herein is to provide a stove hood in accordance with the preceding objects which will conform to conventional forms of manufacture, be of simple construction and easy to use so as to provide a device that will be economically feasible, long lasting and relatively trouble-free inoperation.
These together with other objects and advantages which will become subsequently apparent reside in the details of construction and operation as more fully hereinafter described and claimed, reference being had to the accompanying drawings forming a part hereof, wherein like numerals refer to like parts throughout, and in which:
FIG. I is a perspective view of the interior of a pickup truck camper body illustrating a hood constructed in accordance with the present invention positioned over a range top;
H6. 2 is a perspective view of one rear side portion of the camper body illustrating the shield over the outlet for the gases exhausted by the stove hood;
FIG. 3 is an enlarged fragmentary transverse vertical sectional view taken substantially upon the plane indicated by the section line 3-3 of FIG. ll;
FIG. 4 is a horizontal sectional view taken substantially upon the plane indicated by the section line 4-4 of FIG. 3,
H6. 5 is a longitudinal vertical sectional view taken subs-antially upori the plane indicated by the section line 5-5 of IG. 4; and
"5G. 6 is a perspective view of an L-shaped plate utilized to convert a conventional stove hood into an air circulating hood constructed in accordance with the present invention.
Referring now more specifically to the drawings, the numeral 10 generally designates a pickup truck including a load bed 12 upon which a camper body referred to in general by the reference numeral M is mounted. The camper body 14 includes a side wall 16 having an opening 18 formed therethrough.
A range hood assembly generally referred to by the reference numeral 18 is provided and includes a hood assembly referred to in general by the reference numeral 20. The hood assembly includes upstanding front and rear walls 22 and 24 as well as opposite walls 26 and 28 interconnected by a top wall 30. A generally rectangular housing referred to in general by the reference numeral 32 is disposed within the assembly 20 and includes a front wall 33 and opposite sidewalls 34 and 36, the rear wall of the housing 32 being eliminated to form an outlet opening registered with the exhaust outlet opening 38 formed in the rear wall 24 into which the inner end of a sleeve secured through the sidewall 16 projects. The housing 32 includes a bottom wall 42 through which the inlet end of an intake shroud or sleeve 46 is secured and the outlet end of the intake shroud or sleeve 44 embraces the fan blades 46 which are mounted on the output shaft of an electric motor 48 supported from the underside of the top wall 30. The fan blades 46 and motor 48 comprise air pump means for pumping air through the assembly lid and exhausting the pumped air to the exterior of the camper body or enclosure M.
A shield 50 is mounted over the outlet end of the sleeve 40 to prevent rain or snow from entering the outlet end of the sleeve t0 and a hinged closure flap or valve member 60 is hingedly supported from the outlet end of the sleeve 40 by means of a hinge structure 62 and is normally gravity urged to the closed position illustrated by the phantom lines 64 closing the outlet end ofthe sleeve 40.
It is to be understood that the immediately preceding detailed description of the assembly 18 refers to a conventional form of range hood assembly which may be found in various types of camping enclosures such as the camper body 14.
ln order to convert the assembly 18 for circulating air within the enclosure 14 in accordance with the present invention, a bowden cable assembly referred to in general by the reference numeral 68 is connected between the closure flap or valve member 60 and the front wall 22 of the hood assembly 20 and provided with a manually engageable knob 70 disposed forwardly of the upper portion of the front wall 22 whereby the flap valve member 60 may be readily manually shifted between the open and closed positions illustrated in solid and phantom lines, respectively, in FIG. 3 of the drawings. In addition, an opening 72 is cut in the sidewall 34 and a pair of openings 74l are cut in the sidewall 26. Further, a pair of closure doors 76 are hingedly supported upon the exterior of the sidewall 26 for swinging between the open and closed positions illustrated in phantom and solid lines, respectively. The doors 76 are supported from the sidewall 26 by means of hinge assemblies 78 which serve to lightly frictionally resist swinging movement of the doors 76 and each of the doors 76 is provided with a latch 80 for securing the corresponding door 76 in the closed position. in addition, when converting the range hood assembly 16 into a hood assembly which may be also utilized to circulate air within the enclosure or camper body M, an L-shaped panel structure referred to in general by the reference numeral 82 is provided and includes an upstanding leg 84, and a horizontal leg 86. The panel structure 82 is secured, in any convenient manner, between the sidewalls 26 and 34 with the upper end of the upstanding leg 84 secured to the portion of the top wall 30 extending between the front walls 32 and 22. Further, the end of the leg 86 remote from the leg 34 is secured to the lower marginal portion of that portion of the rear wall 24 extending between the walls 26 and 34. Accordingly, that area between the leg 84 and the rear wall 24 and between the sidewalls 26 and 34 above the horizontal leg 86 is completely enclosed and the openings 72 and 74 open into the opposite sides of this area.
Of course, when the range hood assembly 18 is to be utilized in the conventional manner, the doors 76 are closed and the flap valve member 60 is opened. in this manner, operation of the motor 48 will cause air from immediately below the range hood assembly 18 to be pumped through the housing 32 and out the exhaust sleeve 40. However, when it is desired to circulate air within the enclosure, the bowden cable assembly 68 is actuated to close the flap valve member so and either one or both of the doors 76 may be opened. Then, operation of the motor 48 will cause air to be drawn upwardly into the range hood assembly 13 and to be exhausted horizontally therefrom through the openings 74.
It may of course be appreciated from the above description that the conventional range hood assembly 18 may be readily modified in accordance with the present invention. Further, the necessary components to complete the conversion are relatively inexpensive. Also, conversion of the range hood assembly 18 may include the provision of peripheral seals secured to the sidewall 26 about the openings 74 against which the inner surfaces of the doors 76 may seal when closed in order to prevent any leakage of greasy cooking fumes outwardly through the openings 74. Further, any suitable means may be utilized to form the necessary openings in the sidewalls 26 and 34 during conversion of the range hood assembly 18 and any suitable means may be utilized to secure the panel structure 82 in position.
The foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the invention. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the invention to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the invention.
