Abstract:
An air filter assembly includes a filter element having at least one variable dimension, and a frame for engaging and supporting the filter element. The frame may include a plurality of linear segments forming a rectangular configuration, and a plurality of clips for connecting the linear segments together at corners thereof. The linear segments may be L-channel segments, C-channel segments, or may be of other form. Clips may be used for connecting the linear segments together at the corners. The filter element may have a pattern of creases or fold lines to facilitate folding thereof from an expanded configuration to a reduced configuration. A grate may be included for spanning an area bounded by the frame to support the filter element. The grate may have multiple arms and a central hub. An edge treatment may form a seal between the filter element and the frame.

Claim (Index 29):
An air filter assembly for a heating and ventilation air conditioner (HVAC) system, the filter assembly comprising:\n a filter comprising:\n a filter media element having at least one variable dimension; \n an edge treatment for attachment to the peripheral edge of the filter media element; and \n a frame for engaging and supporting the filter, the frame configured for being adjusted to accommodate the at least one variable dimension and secure the filter therein, wherein, the frame is positioned within an HVAC return to secure the filter within an airflow of the HVAC system; and wherein the filter has a preformed fold pattern that facilitates reduction in two-dimensions.
