ABSTRACT:
A trimmable range hood filter for covering both an inlet opening of a range hood and a light on the range hood adjacent the inlet opening. The filter includes a rectangular filter element, four non-telescoping frame members sequentially arranged to form a rectangle, attachment clips joining the frame members at the corners, a translucent plastic pane, and a separator bar with an "S"-shaped cross-section joining an edge of the pane to an edge of the filter element. The pane and filter element, joined by the separator bar, fit within inwardly facing channels of the frame members. The various parts of the range hood filter, i.e., the filter element, the pane, the separator bar, and the frame members, are trimmable by scissors to fit the range hood dimensions, with the filter element covering the inlet opening and the pane covering the mouth of a cavity in which the range hood light sits. The attachment clips fit into channels formed by flanges on the inner sidewalls of the frame members, and have outwardly bent tabs for holding the clips to the frame members.
