Claim Text:
1. A removable air duct sealing system for obstructing airflow through portions of an air duct system, the removable air duct sealing system comprising: a support plate having a first side and a second side, the support plate having an opening extending through the support plate from the first side to the second side; a flexible connector, the flexible connector having a catch and a tail, the catch capable of connecting the flexible connector to an air duct system component, the tail capable of passing through the opening in the support plate; a fastener operatively connected to the support plate, the fastener having a fastener catch, the fastener capable of interacting with the tail of the flexible connector in dependence upon the positioning of the fastener catch, the fastener catch capable of being configured in a first position that prevents the fastener from moving in a first direction along the tail relative to the flexible connector, the fastener catch capable of being configured in a second position that allows the fastener to move in the first direction along the tail relative to the flexible connector; a gasket configured on the first side of the support plate, the gasket capable of restricting airflow between the support plate and an air duct system component when the gasket is pressed toward the air duct system component; and a remote actuator capable of allowing a user to press the gasket toward the air duct system component when the remote actuator is engaged with the fastener, the remote actuator comprising an actuator head and an extension rod, wherein the remote actuator is configured to allow the user selectively place the fastener catch in either of the first position and the second position in dependence upon the positioning of the remote actuator relative to the fastener catch when the remote actuator is engaged with the fastener.
