This course requires pre-payment and does not qualify for any discounts
Designed for medical professionals,EMT's, emergency room, nurses, or others that are well-versed in CPR and ECC techniques, and maintain the cognitive knowledge and skills to pass a written test and CPR skills check without sitting through a 3 hour class and watching videos. This is an appointment to take the written BLS exam, which you must pass with 84% or higher (on first try with no remediation), and then pass an adult CPR skills check and infant CPR skills check, again – no coaching or remediation.
The good part – if you have the right stuff, you're out in 30 minutes or less with a new BLS HCP card, for $75. You must have a current (yeah, that means not-expired) AHA BLS card with you, and have an AHA BLS book with you (borrowed, checked out from library, we don't care). You will pay $20 at the time of registration to make an appointment during check out. You only pay the $55 balance if you pass. No refund of the $20 if you aren't successful but you can apply it to a classroom version . BLS Challenge is both written exam and skills testing with an instructor, but you can bring a buddy, take the written test and then skills test together. If you do not pass the written test you do not qualify to proceed to the skills portion. You can arrive early and use our equipment to practice but not with an instructor so another good reason to bring a buddy!
We are available 7 days a week!
Sameday Appointments are our speciality!

Called "fairy circles," barren reddish spots wind their way through a narrow belt of desert stretching from Angola through Namibia into northern South Africa. Lots of folklore has arisen out of the phenomenon. The previously unexplained condition found in Africa is now being ascribed by scientists to a pesky breed of termite.

Keywords: Fairy circles, Africa, legend, termites, science, ecology
LOS ANGELES, CA (Catholic Online) - Current research may have found a credible explanation for the fairy circles. Scientists say that a particular species of sand termites, called Psammotermes allocerus, a responsible for the phenomenon.
Scientist Norbert Juergens, a professor of ecology at the University of Hamburg reported that these industrious termites were behind making much of their desert home an oasis of permanent grassland.
Juergens says that these termites "match the beaver with regard to intensity of environmental change, but surpass it with regard to the spatial dimension of their impact.
"P. allocerus turns wide desert regions of predominately ephemeral life into landscapes dominated by species-rich perennial grassland supporting uninterrupted perennial life even during dry seasons and drought years."
The reddish barren spots, thousands of them, are called fairy circles, the name itself an invitation to try to solve the mystery of their origins. For no obvious reason, the round patches of sandy soil interrupt the arid grassland, like a spreading blight on the land.
Biologist Walter R. Tschinkel with Florida State University published an analysis of aerial and satellite photography and other research to describe the number, size and dynamics of these formations. Some are as small as six feet in diameter and never grow much bigger, with the largest ones can be at least 40 feet across. It was estimated that the smaller circles have average life spans of 24 years, the larger ones as much as 75 years.
However -- Tschinkel said he was unconvinced that the termites are the cause of the circles. He said the paper by Dr. Juergens "has made the common scientific error of confusing correlation (even very strong correlation) with causation."
Fanciful explanations for the circles in the past have included the native Himba people, who lived in the region, said they were made by their "original ancestor, Mukuru," or the "footprints of the gods." Yet another story blames a mythical dragon that lives in a crack deep under the earth, whose poisonous breath kills vegetation to create the circles.

Pennsylvania quarry approved for rezoning, expansion
In Pennsylvania, the Hamiltonban Township Board of Supervisors has approved rezoning 110 acres, which will likely be used for a Specialty Granules Inc. quarry, The Evening Sun reported.
Specialty Granules said the rezoning and expansion were long-term necessities for the company, noting that without the rezone or expansion, it would have to cut back on workforce and operations.

Two area dealers of antique and vintage good say business is good these days despite the nation's sluggish economy and jitters about jobs.
Janet Phillips opened Feathers, an antique store in the Oregon District, in 1978. Her inspiration for opening the business came from her love for old movies and fashion from the 1920s.
Dick Butler co-owns Grandpa's Garage, a Springfield store that sells vintage transportation-related items, with his wife Linda Butler. Both Butler and his wife had an interest in cars growing up.
Phillips and Butler are part of a $4 billion industry that includes more than 55,000 stores nationwide, according to HighBeam Business Research. There are 34 antique dealers in the Dayton area according to The Internet Antiques Guide, a comprehensive directory of dealers across the country.
Phillips said she has not seen much of a decrease in interest for antiques.

Re: Space Battleship Yamato 2199
Got and watched the first Yamato 2199 Blu-Ray with English subtitles. LOVED IT! IMO I guess they finally have an English translator that really know Engklish as these read like the script was written in English overall 9which hasn't been my experience with Japanese done english subtitled stuff in the past - the subs were very well done.)
As for what they've donbe in retconning elements of the original Yamato story - loved that too. They really take some of the more questionable stuff in the original and give a valid reason for it; and I like the new characters they've added so far.
It also puts a new spin on Yuki based on some of these mentioned changes. I do wish I know Japanese sop I could get something out of the included audio commentary track done by the cast (no, surprisingly it doesn't have an English subtitle track
I'm hooked and have just ordered the second Yamato Blu-Ray (due for release on 7/27/12) and also will have an English subtitle track.
Really enjoying what they've done so far, and (for me anyway as this was what really got me into Anime) is really worth the cost and hassle of oridering from Japan directly.

J.J. Abrams is Rumored to Return to Direct 'Star Wars: Episode IX'
Even though Star Wars: The Force Awakens isn't slated to arrive for nine months, and we only just confirmed Looper director Rian Johnson would be at the helm of Star Wars: Episode VIII, coming in May of 2017, that's not stopping the rumors from starting on who will be at the helm of Star Wars: Episode IX. After all, Disney wants a new film from the galaxy far, far away arriving every year (like Star Wars: Rogue One in 2016) for the foreseeable future, so why wouldn't they be planning ahead? And Latino Review has the first rumor of a frontrunner director for Episode IX as The Force Awakens helmer J.J. Abrams.

Rumor: Sony & Marvel's New Spider-Man Won't Be White This Time
Unless you've been living under a rock or you just don't care, you've probably heard that Sony Pictures and Marvel Studios reached a deal to share Spider-Man so the character can enter the cinematic universe of The Avengers while still having his own film franchise that's controlled by Sony and produced by Marvel. Shortly after the news broke, it was revealed that a younger Spider-Man was desired this time, and we had some suggestions as to who should play the wallcrawler. Names like Dylan O'Brien and Logan Lerman were said to be in early consideration, but we might see a completely different approach. Read on!

Rumor: Spielberg Wants to Direct Chris Pratt in New 'Indiana Jones'
Here we go… The big rumor on Oscar weekend, with all of Hollywood in town, is that Steven Spielberg is apparently quite interested in directing the new Indiana Jones movie. If you recall, in January we posted another rumor that Chris Pratt – star of Jurassic World and Guardians of the Galaxy – is Disney's top pick to star as the new version of Indiana Jones. Ever since Disney got their hands on Lucasfilm a few years ago, they've been figuring out how to bring more franchises back. Aside from Star Wars it sounds like Indy is next, and word from Deadline around Hollywood is that "assuming a script comes in to his satisfaction, Spielberg hopes to direct that film." That film being the new Indiana Jones perhaps starring Chris Pratt.

Karl Urban Circles 'Aquaman' Villain Role, Noam Murro May Direct?
Well, hot on the heels of Chiwetel Ejiofor being sought after for a role in Doctor Strange, and the official addition of Tye Sheridan, Sophie Turner and Alexandra Shipp in X-Men: Apocalypse, we've got one more superhero story, but this one is a little less solid. The first big screen iteration of Aquaman isn't slated to arrive until July 27th, 2018, but that's not stopping Warner Bros. from getting their DC Comics cinematic universe in order ahead of time. Latino Review has early word that Star Trek franchise star Karl Urban is in the running for a supporting role in the aquatic adventure that already has Jason Momoa as the hero.

Ben Affleck's Batman Rumored to Also Appear in 'Suicide Squad'
While we don't normally run many rumors like this, when Forbes is the one with the scoop, that makes it feel a little more legitimate. First of all, Latino Review has a story spouting off some plot details about Suicide Squad, and they mention that while the villain Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) is in pursuit of super powered heroes and villains, with Batman seen on a surveillance screen, implying that he's on her list. But they specify that Ben Affleck would not appear in any other capacity as Batman. However, Forbes has heard otherwise, and is reporting that Batman will be in Suicide Squad, but at the end of the film. Read on!

Rumor: Simon Kinberg Taking Over First 'Star Wars' Spin-Off Script
Just before the weekend, we learned that Gary Whitta was stepping away from the first Star Wars spin-off film that will be directed by Godzilla helmer Gareth Edwards. Considering the statement given by Whitta when the news was announced, it sounds like his work is done, and it's just time for some new eyes to take a look at the project and do some polishing so the film can be ready to shoot later this year when Spectre is done shooting at Pinewood Studios across the pond. Now SlashFilm has learned (though couldn't confirm) that Star Wars: The Force Awakens consultant Simon Kinberg may be replacement writer.

Trio of 'The Raid 2' Stars to Appear in 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens'
It sounds like Star Wars: The Force Awakens is going to get a triple dose of Indonesian action, at least if a new rumor is to be believed. Twitch has word that Iko Uwais, Yayan Ruhian and Cecep Arif Rahman, three of the key players from The Raid 2, the unbelievable action film directed by Gareth Evans, will have roles in Episode VII. However, we have no indication of what characters they'll be playing yet. We're just hoping that since these three are so skilled with fighting and are just insanely fast, that they will be involved in some kind of action sequence. Can you imagine a lightsaber battle with these guys? Read on!

Sony Pictures Still Planning to Release 'The Interview' Somewhere?
If you've been following the news the past few days, you've undoubtedly heard about the debacle concerning the Sony Pictures comedy The Interview from writers and directors Seth Rogen & Evan Goldberg. The film was set to be released on Christmas Day, but the studio pulled it from release after major theater chains dropped the film following threats by the Guardians of Peace, the same group responsible for hacking into Sony Pictures and leaking thousand of documents and e-mails with private information. But now it seems Sony Pictures may not have completely given up on The Interview seeing the light of day. Read on!

Rumor: First 'Star Wars' Spin-Off to Focus on Death Star Plans Heist
Hot on the heels of news when the Star Wars: The Force Awakens trailer will arrive, a new rumor has popped up about the first spin-off that will come one year after Episode VII hits theaters. We already know the film will be directed by Godzilla helmer Gareth Edwards with a script from Book of Eli scribe Gary Whitta. Now SlashFilm has learned from a variety of sources that the first Star Wars spin-off will focus on one of the most important plot points in the saga's history. However. this is something that we've never seen played out or discussed in detail on the big screen: the heist to obtain the plans to the original Death Star.

Expect the 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' Trailer with 'The Hobbit'
Normally it's not worth reporting when the first trailer for a movie will arrive, but when that trailer is Star Wars: The Force Awakens, everyone is anxious to find out when we'll get the first glimpse of the next chapter in the iconic Star Wars saga. There have been rumblings that the trailer will show up before the end of the year, and that's been supported by the fact that John Williams has already been in the recording studio working on music for the trailer itself. Now a report comes from Star Wars 7 News saying that the teaser trailer will be attached to The Hobbit: The Battle of the Five Armies next month. More below!

Is Director A.J. Edwards Making a Mace Windu 'Star Wars' Spin-Off?
As of now, there are already two Star Wars spin-off films lined up after Star Wars: The Force Awakens arrives next December. Godzilla director Gareth Edwards is already signed to direct the first one, arriving just one year after Episode VII, and Lucasfilm has already lined up Chronicle director Josh Trank to be at the helm of whatever spin-off will follow Episode VIII from Looper director Rian Johnson. However, is there a chance that another spin-off is in the works? The Better Angels director A.J. Edwards partook in a Reddit AMA and was asked about potential involvement in the revival of the Star Wars franchise. Read on!

Christoph Waltz Presumably Takes a Villain Role in James Bond 24
Back in April, Oscar nominated actor Chiwetel Ejiofor was being eyed for the villain role in James Bond 24, the as yet untitled next installment in the long-running secret agent franchise. However, it sounds like that may not be happening anymore as The Daily Mail's reliable James Bond scoop master Baz Bamigboye just revealed on Twitter that Christoph Waltz has signed on for a role in 007's next outing. Now we're presuming that he's playing the villain, though the source doesn't actually clarify, so there's a chance that maybe he's not playing a bad guy after all. But having Waltz as a Bond villain just makes sense. Read on!

'Batman v. Superman' Shooting Some Sequences on IMAX Cameras?
We recently just got word that just one sequence in Star Wars: The Force Awakens was shot using IMAX cameras, and it turns out another big blockbuster might be using the giant film stock under the radar as well. SlashFilm noticed a tweet from Mike Eisenberg, a Chicago man who owns and operates his own production company, saying, "I can confirm with my own eyes that Batman vs Superman is filming at least the Wayne murder scene with full IMAX film cameras." Now the internet is full of lies, but this seems to be a legitimate observation on the set of Batman v. Superman: Dawn of Justice as Before the Trailer corroborated the claim and Batman News also said the same. So just what were they shooting in Chicago?

Jared Leto Might Be Playing The Joker in David Ayer's 'Suicide Squad'
Some potentially big news landing late on Friday night, thanks to a report from Jeff Sneider at The Wrap. He says a source from Warner Bros "familiar with the project" has revealed that Jared Leto, coming off of his Academy Award win for Best Supporting Actor earlier this year, is "circling a key role" in David Ayer's Suicide Squad that might actually be – drum roll – The Joker. Wait, what? Yea that's what it says, which makes some kind of sense considering Suicide Squad is a DC villain round-up movie and it did occasionally include The Joker in the comic it's based on. But casting isn't confirmed yet, it's only a potential for now.

Hardening off seedlings
I have 9 rose seedlings growing inside near a window in the same conditions my African Violets enjoy. I know that at some stage I'll have to get the rose seedlings used to living outside. Could anyone tell me how to ease them into it? They're around one and a half inches tall and from open pollinated hips of Louise Odier and Souvenir de Madame Bruel, collected from a heritage rose garden so who knows who the pollen parents are. Thanks for any info.
Hi, rross! You're coming into spring there so now is the time to start easing them out. Are they still in seed trays or potted up individually? In trays they are easier to take out for a few hours during the warmest part of the day. If potted find some trays to carry them in and out on. Start with just a few hours and gradually work that up to the full day of sun. If there is no longer any chance of frost at night you can also take them out and leave them. Start them out in full shade and gradually work them out to full sun. Either way they should do fine. Roses are pretty tough, even the little guys!
Thank you, Seil. I've got a shaded outdoor deck. I'll start with that.

The Den Haag Passage is a shopping mall opened in 1885 and is an UNESCO and also a national monument. After extensive restoration works in 2007 the marble floor and the facades now resemble the original state.
Europe is generally agreed to be the birthplace of western culture, including such legendary innovations as the democratic nation-state, football and tomato sauce.The word Europe comes from the Greek goddess Europa, who was kidnapped by Zeus and plunked down on the island of Crete. Europa gradually changed from referring to mainland Greece until it extended finally to include Norway and Russia.Don't be confused that Europe is called a continent without looking like an island, the way the other continents do. It's okay. The Ural mountains have steadily been there to divide Europe from Asia for the last 250 million years. Russia technically inhabits "Eurasia".Europe is presently uniting into one political and economic zone with a common currency called the Euro. The European Union originated in 1993 and is now composed of 27 member states. Its headquarters is in Brussels, Belgium.Do not confuse the EU with the Council of Europe, which has 47 member states and dates to 1949. These two bodies share the same flag, national anthem, and mission of integrating Europe. The headquarters of the Council are located in Strasbourg, France, and it is most famous for its European Court of Human Rights. In spite of these two bodies, there is still no single Constitution or set of laws applying to all the countries of Europe. Debate rages over the role of the EU in regards to national sovereignty. As of January 2009, the Lisbon Treaty is the closest thing to a European Constitution, yet it has not been approved by all the EU states. Text by Steve Smith.

VENTILATING APPARATUS Filed May 2, 1961 5 Sheets-Sheet 2 ATTORNEY March 24, 1964 s. v. WINTON VENTILATING APPARATUS 3 Sheets-Sheet 3 Filed May 2, 1961 pmxi INVENTOR NM M 0m 5% United States Patent 3,125,869 VENTILATING APPARATUS Sidney V. Winton, 5572 Netherland Ave, New York, N.Y. Filed May 2, 1961, Ser. No. 107,087 3 Claims. (Cl. 62-317) This invention relates generally to ventilating apparatus, and more particularly to ventilating devices for drawing off fumes from the area above kitchen stoves and the like.
A salient feature of the invention is the provision of a ventilating hood which is adaptable to be cut to size on the job for installation over kitchen stoves. Accordingly, the hood which is made of an integral sheet of metal is initially formed with a rear wall, a top wall and a downwardly extending forward wall. Separate end plates are provided with means for removably securing them in position at either end of said hood after the hood is cut to size at the installation site in accordance with a series of guide lines that are imprinted, scored, or otherwise im pressed upon the interior of the hood.
In one embodiment, the attaching means for each end plate takes the form of frictionally engaging sheet metal tabs that either form part of the end plate or are provided on a separate bead element.
Another feature of the present invention is the provision of knock out or removable sections from either the rear, top or forward wall of the hood, depending upon whether its intended function is for exhaust of eflluents and vapors from above the kitchen stove, or for recirculation of air into the kitchen.
A still further feature of the invention is the incorporation of a refrigeration element within the hood with a novel arrangement for cooling a grill upon which greasy fumes and efliuents from the stove may be condensed. Furthermore, the refrigeration element cools the air for recirculation into the kitchen in order to compensate for the heating elfect of the kitchen stove. Additionally, a secondary filtering pad may be positioned adjacent the grill for enhancing the filtering action of the ventilating apparatus.
Still other objects and advantages of the invention will be apparent from the specification.
The features of novelty which are believed to be characteristic of the invention are set forth herein and will best be understood, both as to their fundamental principles and as to their particular embodiments, by reference to the specification and accompanying drawings, in which:
FIGURE 1 is perspective view of a portion of a kitchen showing one embodiment of the ventilating apparatus of the present invention installed above a kitchen stove;
FIG. 2 is a greatly enlarged perspective view, partly exploded, showing details of structure of the ventilating hood shown in FIG. 1;
FIG. 3 is a still further enlarged elevation of an end plate of the ventilating apparatus;
FIG. 4 is a greatly enlarged section view taken on line 4-4 of FIG. 2;
FIG. 5 is a bottom interior view of the kitchen ventilator shown in FIGS. 1 and 2;
FIGS. 6, 7 and 8 are various securing means for the end plates, as alternatives for the embodiment shown in FIG. 4;
FIG. 9 is a section view of the central portion of the ventilator hood shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, illustrating a modification of the ventilator;
FIG. 10 is a still further modification of the ventilator shown in FIGS. 1 and 2;
FIG. 11 is a still further embodiment in a partly ex- 3,125,869 Patented Mar. 24., 1964 ploded view showing a knock out element for adapting the hood for use with a flue or the like;
FIG. 12 is a central section view of an alternative embodiment of the hood shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, wherein a power unit is employed;
FIG. 13 is a further variation of the embodiment shown in FIG. 12; and
FIG. 14, partly in cross-section, illustrates the manner in which an air cooling element and filtering apparatus are incorporated into the hood shown in FIGS. 12 or 13.
Referring now to the drawings in detail, FIG. 1 shows a section of a kitchen or the like wherein a kitchen stove 21 is installed, the top of said stove having a plurality of gas or electric burners for heating pots and pans. Mounted between a pair of cabinets 22 and 23 and underneath another pair of cabinets 24 and 25, is one embodiment of the hood of the present invention. This hood, made of sheet metal, generally designated 26, comprises a flat top wall 2'7 which is arrayed in a horizontal position when installed, a vertical back wall 28, and a front wall 29, the latter projecting forwardly and downwardly in a curved manner, some parts of said front wall being convex and other parts being concave, as determined by de sign requirements.
Hood 26 is initially formed out of a unitary piece of sheet metal, or the like, comprising only its top wall, rear wall, and front wall, without any portions thereof being bent or formed into end walls, or the like, as with prior devices of this kind. In order to arrange for the accommodation of hood 26 into various installations that might be of differing dimensions, particularly as obtains between the opposing facing walls of cabinets 22 and 23 (FIG. 1), it will be noted from the illustration in FIG. 5 that the interior surface of hood 26 is marked with a suitable ink or the like, or scored with an indenting tool or the like, to form a plurality of evenly spaced apart dashed lines 31 measured from center line 32 whereby the hood may.
be readily cut with tin snips or the like by the operator installing the device in order properly to fit the hood into the space between cabinets 22 and 23. These guide lines serve not only as a measuring device but also serve as guide lines for the metal cutters or tin snips that are utilized to cut the hood to size. Thus, hood 26 may be made initially of a predetermined standard length A, and shortened, in accordance with the guide lines, to a suitable length between A and B, depending upon the space requirements of the installation site. The spacing between lines 31 may be established at a suitable dimension such as one inch, one-half inch, or the like, as may be convenient or practicable.
After the hood is cut to proper size for installation, a
A pair of end plates 35 and 36 are attached to the open ends of hood 26, whereupon the assembled hood is secured by suitable means such as bolts, screws or the like, into position as shown in FIG. 1. End plates 35 and 36 each comprise a rectangular section 37, and an integral,
forwardly extending section 38 whose outlines conform to the curvature of front wall 29 of hood 26.
The rear edge of end plate sections 37, respectively, are bent inwardly and cut to form a pair of spaced apart tabs 41 and an intermediate tab 42 therebetween, tabs 41 and 42 being angularly disposed in respect of each other to form a wedging clamp for frictionally engaging the respective side edge of rear wall 28. The top edges of end plate sections 37, respectively, are likewise bent inwardly -and cut to form a pair of spaced apart tabs 43 and an forward sections 38 of end plates 36 and 37 are connected to forward wall 29 of hood 26. A connector element, generally designated 47, is formed of a unitary elongated strip of sheet metal, reverse bent in such a manner as to form an outer, vertical lip 48 and a horizontal lip 49. The edge of lip 49 terminates in two series of alternately spaced apart tabs 51 and 52. Tabs 51 extend downwardly, and together with downwardly extending lip 48 from which they are slightly spaced apart, they frictionally engage the upper edge of the forwardly extending respective end wall 38 of end plate 36. Tabs 52 extend horizontally and, together with lip 49 from which they are slightly spaced apart, they frictionally engage the outer respective edge of forwardly and downwardly extending front wall 29 of the hood.
Thus, by means of tabs 41, 42, 43, 44, 51 and 52, end plates are readily fitted to, and secured in position over, the initially open ends of hood 26 to form the complete hood enclosure as shown in FIGS. 1 and 11, for example. In some cases when it is intended to refit the hood into another shorter installation or its size adjusted by either or both ends, end plates 36 may readily be removed by the application of a reasonable pulling force and thereafter replaced in the manner described hereinabove.
Alternative means of securing end plates 36 to hood 26 are disclosed in FIGS. 6, 7 and 8. In FIG. 6 the top edges of end plate 37 are bent over to form a horizontally extending flange 55. An L-shaped bar 56 is connected by means of its downwardly extending leg 57 to the interior wall of end plate 37 by welding or the like. Bar 56 is spaced apart from and forms an elongated slot with flange 55, said slot accommodating the top edge portion of hood 27 by a friction fit whereby said end plate is secured tosaid hood.
In FIG. 7, an elongated curved beaded element 58 is provided for securing end plates 35 and 36 to top wall 27 and front wall 29. Bead 53 has a plurality of spaced apart, inwardly extending, threaded stems 59 which are engaged by corresponding nuts 61 which urge a retainer bar 62 against the inner surfaces of top wall 27 and forward wall 2 and end plates 35 and 36' to cause said parts to be firmly secured to said bead.
In FIG. 8, a bead 63 made of a suitable plastic or metallic material is provided with a pair of perpendicularly arrayed elongated slots 64 and 65. Slot 64 frictionally accommodates the edge portions of top wall 27 and front wall 29, while slot 65 frictionally accommodates the top edge portions of end plates 35 and 36 for forming a unitary hood structure.
A recirculating vent for the hood may be provided as in FIG. 9 in the form of an opening 67 in forward wall 29' intermediate its front and rear edges, and intermediate its side edges. Positioned across said opening may be a mesh screen 68, if desired. Alternatively, FIG. shows a ventilating screen 69 positioned across opening 71 located at the top edge of front wall 29 of the hood structure.
In another embodiment of the present invention the ventilating hood may be constructed in such a manner as to serve either as an exhaust, or as a recirculation device, as shown in FIGS. 11, 12 and 13, for example. Top wall 27 may be scored by a suitable indenting tool or the like at respective parallel lines 73 and 74, whereby a rectangular panel 75 may be knocked out as desired, to form an opening 76in order to accommodate the resulting aperture to an exhaust opening in the installation site for drawing off fumes. Furthermore, front wall 29 may have a central raised portion '77, the front edge of which forms, together with the surface of front wall 29, a somewhat rectangular opening 78 which is normally covered by a plate 79. When a power unit 81. is incorporated into the hood, as shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, the arrangement in FIG. 12 shows the manner in which the hood operates as an exhaust unit with fumes being urged by the fan (not shown) in power unit 81 through exhaust aperture 76 while aperture 78 is blocked off by plate 79. When, as shown in FIG. 13, plate 75 remains in position within top wall 27, and plate 79 is removed and replaced by a screen element 82, the ventilating hood operates as a recirculating unit with air being forced through aperture 78 back into the room. Alternatively, a knock out plate 83 on the rear wall 28 of the apparatus may be provided in order to accommodate the location of the exhaust aperture to the vent at the installation site which may be located at the rear of the hood instead of above it.
The ventilating hood in FIG. 14 incorporates in the bottom wall 84 thereof filtering and air cooling apparatus which constitutes a filtering grill 85 made of a suitable expanded metallic material or the like in which there is embodied a cooling coil or tube 86, having a plurality of turns and which extends across an opening 87 in said bottom wall. Positioned above grill 85 is a filter pad 88 made of a suitable fibrous filtering material which may contain activated charcoal or the like, for entrapping the fumes that arise from stove 21. Fumes and the like are forced through grill 85 and pad 88 by means of a fan 91 which causes said fumes to be ejected through a grill 9?. on front wall 29 of the hood. By this means, the fumes and air-borne greases arising from kitchen stove 21 are condensed upon cooled grill 85 and thereafter filtered by pad- 88, after which the cooled and cleansed air is passed out again through grill 92 into the kitchen, which is thereby made more comfortable. Fan 91 is rotated by means of electric motor 93 connected thereto by bevel gears M and 95. Motor 93, which is connected to the interior of hood 26, also rotates a fan 97 which blows air upon a bank of condensing coils 98 connected on one end to cooling coils 86, the other end of which is connected to a compressor 99 which is operated by an electric motor 101, as in conventional air conditioning systems.
By means. of the arrangement shown in FIG. 14, the positioning of an air filtering and air cooling apparatus within the ventilating hood provides means for trapping a greater amount of fumes and greasy effluents emanating from the kitchen stove by means of the cooled condensing grill 85 than has heretofore been possible by other filtering means. Also, the combination apparatus serves to recirculate cooled air into the kitchen to counteract the heating effect of the stove itself, thereby providing more comfortable working conditions.
In another embodiment contemplated by the present invention, where it is. not feasible to have a complete refrigerating apparatus incorporated in the hood, grill 85 may also be cooled for fume condensation purposes by connecting tubes 86 to a water circulating source such as the water supply system of the household, or the like. By this means, grill 35 will be maintained at a considerably lower temperature than that of the effluents from the stove, whereby condensation of the fumes upon the grill can take place.
Other equivalent means for cooling grill 85 may be utilized, such as the Peltier effect, which is the thermodynamic converse of the thermoelectric (Seebeck) effect where electric current is passed through a juncture of two dissimilar conductors.
It is claimed:
1. A ventilating hoodcomprising a sheet metal enclosure, an intake aperture and an outlet aperture, a refrigerating apparatus positioned within said enclosure, 21 grill positioned across said intake aperture, cooling coils in said refrigerator unit, said coils extending through said grill for cooling the latter, a fan operated by said refrigcratorunit, said fan causing. air to be drawn through said grill upon which materials in efiiuents above a stove become condensed, said fan thereafter causing said air to pass through said outlet aperture.
2. A ventilating hood according to claim 1, and further comprising a filtering pad positioned adjacent said grill, the air passing said grill being caused by said fan to pass through said filtering pad prior to being expelled from said exhaust aperture.
3. A ventilating hood comprising a sheet metal enclosure, an intake aperture and an outlet aperture, a grill positioned across said intake aperture, cooling coils in said grill, means for causing air to pass through said cooling coils and through said intake aperture and passing said air through said outlet aperture, and means for cooling said cooling coils.
