ABSTRACT:
A ceiling air diffuser convertible between a flush-face diffuser with the louvers mounted substantially flush with the ceiling and a drop-down diffuser which provides a more efficient disperison of air flow. By providing this conversion capability, manufacturing and inventory costs are reduced by eliminating duplicity of components for each type of diffuser. The essential component of the drop-down diffuser is a stepped support bracket which is detachably connected to the peripheral frame of the diffuser and to which the directional vanes are mounted. Conversion is accomplished by simply interchanging the removable fin core within the frame member.
