ABSTRACT:
A room humidifying assembly (20) is provided which is easily and quickly installed, is simple to operate, and is a cost effective means for maintaining a comfortable humidity level in a room. The room humidifying assembly (20) preferably includes a body (22), adapted for positioning within a ventilation duct (24) adjacent a duct outlet (26), and a wick (32) having a first section (34) and a second section (36). The body (22) includes a reservoir (28) adapted to hold a supply of water, and the second section (36) of the wick (32) is disposed within the reservoir (28) in contact with the water therein. The first section (34) of the wick (32) is supported across at least a portion of the duct (24) by an apertured frame (30) secured to the body (22) to permit the passage of ventilating air through the first section (34). The wick (32) is configured for delivery of water from the second section (36) to the first section (34) by capillary attraction. The first section (34) of the wick (32) is foramenous to allow passage of air therethrough. Additionally, the assembly (20) includes an apertured grille structure (76) mounted adjacent the duct outlet (26) which provides a damper (84) for regulating the amount of air passing therethrough.
