Abstract

A lighted air dispersing assembly for selectively illuminating a ventilated space includes a housing that is configured to couple to a ventilation pipe. A plurality of channels is positioned through the housing. The channels are configured to allow air to flow from the ventilation pipe through the housing to a space proximate to the housing. A plurality of light emitting diodes is coupled to a first face of the housing. The plurality of light emitting diodes is operationally coupled to an electrical circuit. The light emitting diodes are configured to selectively illuminate the space proximate to the housing.

Claims (27)

1. A lighted air dispersing assembly comprising:

a housing configured for coupling to a ventilation pipe, said housing having a perimeter extending around a first face of said housing;

a plurality of channels positioned through said housing, said channels being concentrically arranged around said first face of said housing and arranged radially from said first face to said perimeter;

a plurality of slats coupled to and extending angularly in a fixed position between said first face and a second face of said housing such that adjacently positioned said slats define a respective said channel, wherein said slats are positioned in said housing such that said slats are configured for dispersing the air flowing from the ventilation pipe through said housing and around said first face of said housing;

a plurality of light emitting diodes coupled to said first face of said housing, said plurality of light emitting diodes being operationally coupled to an electrical circuit; and

wherein said channels are positioned in said housing such that said channels are configured for flowing of air from the ventilation pipe through said housing to a space proximate to said housing, wherein said light emitting diodes are positioned on said housing such that said light emitting diodes are configured for selectively illuminating the space proximate to said housing.

2. The assembly of claim 1 , further including said perimeter being substantially rectangularly shaped.

3. The assembly of claim 1 , further including said perimeter being substantially squarely shaped.

4. The assembly of claim 1 , further including said perimeter being substantially circularly shaped.

5. The assembly of claim 1 , further including a tube coupled to and extending from a back face of said housing, said tube being complementary in shape to the ventilation pipe, wherein said tube is positioned on said housing such that said tube is configured for coupling to the ventilation pipe for coupling said housing to the ventilation pipe.

6. The assembly of claim 1 , further including said plurality of light emitting diodes being centrally positioned on said first face of said housing.

7. The assembly of claim 1 , further including said plurality of light emitting diodes being positioned proximate to a perimeter of said housing.

8. The assembly of claim 1 , further including each said light emitting diode having a respective color such that said plurality of light emitting diodes has a variety of colors.

9. The assembly of claim 1 , further including each said slat having a respective circumference such that said plurality of slats has a variety of circumferences.

10. The assembly of claim 1 , further including said plurality of slats comprising three said slats.

11. The assembly of claim 1 , further including a controller operationally coupled to said plurality of light emitting diodes and the electrical circuit, wherein said controller is coupled to said light emitting diodes such that said controller is configured for selectively coupling said light emitting diodes to the electrical circuit for compelling said light emitting diodes for illuminating the space proximate to said housing.

12. The assembly of claim 11 , further including said controller being configured for setting a brightness level of said light emitting diodes.

13. The assembly of claim 8 , further including a controller operationally coupled to said plurality of light emitting diodes and the electrical circuit, said controller being configured for selectively coupling respective said light emitting diodes for selecting a color of light for illuminating the space proximate to said housing.

14. The assembly of claim 13 , further including said controller being configured for alternately selectively coupling respective said light emitting diodes for cycling respective colors of light for illuminating the space proximate to said housing.

15. A lighted air dispersing assembly comprising:

a housing configured for coupling to a ventilation pipe, said housing having a perimeter extending around a first face of said housing;

a tube coupled to and extending from a back face of said housing, said tube being complementary in shape to the ventilation pipe, wherein said tube is positioned on said housing such that said tube is configured for coupling to the ventilation pipe for coupling said housing to the ventilation pipe;

a plurality of channels positioned through said housing, wherein said channels are positioned in said housing such that said channels are configured for flowing of air from the ventilation pipe through said housing to a space proximate to said housing, said channels being concentrically arranged around said first face of said housing and arranged radially from said first face to said perimeter;

a plurality of light emitting diodes coupled to said first face of said housing, said plurality of light emitting diodes being operationally coupled to an electrical circuit, wherein said light emitting diodes are positioned on said housing such that said light emitting diodes are configured for selectively illuminating the space proximate to said housing, said plurality of light emitting diodes being centrally positioned on said first face of said housing, said plurality of light emitting diodes being positioned proximate to said perimeter of said housing, each said light emitting diode having a respective color such that said plurality of light emitting diodes has a variety of colors;

a plurality of slats coupled to and extending angularly between said first face and said second face of said housing such that adjacently positioned said slats define a respective said channel, wherein said slats are positioned in said housing such that said slats are configured for dispersing the air flowing from the ventilation pipe through said housing, each said slat having a respective circumference such that said plurality of slats has a variety of circumferences, said plurality of slats comprising three said slats;

a controller operationally coupled to said plurality of light emitting diodes and the electrical circuit, wherein said controller is coupled to said light emitting diodes such that said controller is configured for selectively coupling said light emitting diodes to the electrical circuit for compelling said light emitting diodes for illuminating the space proximate to said housing, said controller being configured for setting a brightness level of said light emitting diodes, said controller being configured for selectively coupling respective said light emitting diodes for selecting a color of light for illuminating the space proximate to said housing, said controller being configured for alternately selectively coupling respective said light emitting diodes for cycling respective colors of light for illuminating the space proximate to said housing; and

wherein said tube is positioned on said housing such that said tube is configured for coupling to the ventilation pipe for coupling said housing to the ventilation pipe, wherein said slats are positioned in said housing such that said slats are configured for dispersing the air flowing from the ventilation pipe through said housing, wherein said controller is coupled to said light emitting diodes such that said controller is configured for selectively coupling said light emitting diodes to the electrical circuit for compelling said light emitting diodes for illuminating the space proximate to said housing.
