SELF-CONTAINED AIR CONDITIONING UNIT WITH SWIVEL GYRO-MOUNT
20230356824 · 2023-11-09 ·

A swivel gyro-mount system for a self-contained air conditioning system, disclosing a unit having a main body with an evaporator having an evaporator cover with an aperture bordered on a side opposite of the evaporator by a plurality of frustum-spherical wall sections, thereby creating a boundary. A frustum-spherical gyro-swivel ring is positioned within the boundary of the frustum-spherical wall sections. A fitment ring is removably affixed to a protruding lip of the frustum-spherical gyro-swivel ring. The frustum-spherical wall sections movably contain the frustum-spherical gyro-swivel ring in a tight periphery, thereby allowing the frustum-spherical gyro-swivel ring to adjust in orientation, whereby the adjustment in orientation influences a direction of airflow in a conical range of orientations to a blower, whereby said blower may expel air in a plurality of selectable directions in a range of angulation resembling a dual conical shape.
