ABSTRACT:
An air conditioner is provided of the type having an indoor section, which includes a housing, evaporator coil and an indoor grille adapted to be mounted to the housing in spaced relation to the evaporator coil. The grille includes a front wall having a return opening therein to admit return air to be conditioned into the evaporator coil. The front wall also has an elongated opening adjacent to an edge thereof, which is adapted to receive a filter for insertion and removal of the filter into the space between the back wall of the indoor grille and the evaporator coil. The filter includes a rectangular frame having a leading edge and a trailing edge and laterally spaced edges interconnecting the leading and trailing edges. A filter guide structure is integrally formed with the grille and is adapted to receive the leading edge of the filter with the filter frame angularly disposed with respect to the front wall and for directing the rectangular frame into the space between the back wall of the indoor grille and the evaporator coil without contacting the evaporator coil. In a preferred embodiment, the trailing edge defines an ornamental outer wall similar in configuration to the structure defining the return air openings in the front wall of the grille. Structure is provided on the ornamental outer wall and the filter guide structure for supporting and positioning the outer wall with respect to the outer grille structure.
