Covers for air conditioner units

Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure describe covers for air conditioner units comprising a first air permeable panel for covering a horizontal top panel of an air conditioner unit; a second air permeable panel extending downward from the first air permeable panel for covering vertical side panels of the air conditioner unit; and an adjustable fastener provided in a bottom portion of the second air permeable panel for securing the cover to a base of the air conditioner unit.

What is claimed is: 
     
         1 . A cover for an air conditioner unit, comprising:
 a first air permeable panel for covering a horizontal top panel of an air conditioner unit;   a second air permeable panel extending downward from the first air permeable panel for covering vertical side panels of the air conditioner unit; and   an adjustable fastener provided in a bottom portion of the second air permeable panel for securing the cover to a base of the air conditioner unit.   
     
     
         2 . The cover of  claim 1 , wherein the first air permeable panel is made of a first material and the second air permeable panel is made of a second material that is different from the first material. 
     
     
         3 . The cover of  claim 2 , wherein the first material, the second material, or both are made of a stretchable fabric. 
     
     
         4 . The cover of  claim 2 , wherein the first material and the second material are selected from the group consisting of power mesh, cabaret stretch mesh, and honeycomb mesh. 
     
     
         5 . The cover of  claim 1 , wherein the first air permeable panel can maintain an air flow of about 1300 ft 3  min −1 . 
     
     
         6 . The cover of  claim 1 , wherein an average pore size of the first air permeable panel is greater than an average pore size of the second air permeable panel. 
     
     
         7 . The cover of  claim 1 , wherein an average pore size of the first air permeable panel is about 1 cm. 
     
     
         8 . The cover of  claim 1 , wherein an average pore size of the second air permeable panel is about 1 mm. 
     
     
         9 . The cover of  claim 1 , wherein the second air permeable panel includes two or more sections connected by one or more seams 
     
     
         10 . The cover of  claim 1 , wherein the first air permeable panel includes an opening therein at least as large as an exhaust opening in the air conditioning unit. 
     
     
         11 . The cover of  claim 1 , wherein the first air permeable panel is made of a substantially non stretch material and includes an opening therein at least as large as an exhaust opening in the air conditioning unit. 
     
     
         12 . The cover of  claim 1 , wherein the adjustable fastener is elastic or a drawstring. 
     
     
         13 . A cover for an air conditioner unit, comprising:
 a first air permeable panel for covering a horizontal top panel of an air conditioner unit, wherein the first air permeable panel includes a first material;   a second air permeable panel extending downward from the first air permeable panel for covering vertical side panels of the air conditioner unit, wherein the second air permeable panel includes a first section with the first material and a second section with a second material that is different from the first material; and   an adjustable fastener provided in a bottom portion of the second air permeable panel for securing the cover to a base of the air conditioner unit.   
     
     
         14 . The cover of  claim 13 , wherein the first material, second material, or both are made of a stretchable fabric. 
     
     
         15 . The cover of  claim 14 , wherein the first material and the second material are selected from the group consisting of power mesh, cabaret stretch mesh, and honeycomb mesh. 
     
     
         16 . The cover of  claim 13 , wherein the second material can maintain an air flow of about 1300 ft 3  min −1 . 
     
     
         17 . The cover of  claim 13 , wherein an average pore size of the second material is greater than an average pore size of the first material. 
     
     
         18 . The cover of  claim 13 , wherein an average pore size of the first material is about 1 mm. 
     
     
         19 . The cover of  claim 13 , wherein an average pore size of the second material is about 1 cm. 
     
     
         20 . The cover of  claim 13 , wherein the adjustable fastener is elastic or a drawstring.
