Patent ID: 7485033

Claim:
A system comprising: an exhaust hood including a housing and an exhaust conduit disposed on the housing, the exhaust conduit including a first coupling member disposed on a holder so as to hold the first coupling member on the housing; a support configured to mount the exhaust hood to a wall or ceiling, the support providing substantially all of the support for the housing; and an exhaust duct extending in the wall or ceiling, the exhaust duct including a second coupling member; wherein: the first coupling member is configured, when bringing the system into a mounted condition, to couple in a fluid-conducting manner with the second coupling member in a coupling direction; at least one of the first and second coupling members includes an aligning device configured to automatically align the coupling members with each other when bringing the system into the mounted condition; the second coupling member is held to the support; and the first coupling member is disposed relative to the holder so as to provide a position adjustment of the first coupling member within the housing of the exhaust hood, and the second coupling member is disposed relative to the support so as to provide a position adjustment of the second coupling member within the support, where both coupling members are movable in a direction substantially perpendicular to the coupling direction with respect to at least one of the housing and the support.
