A central air uptake attachment has a housing with upper and lower outlets. The housing is juxtaposable to a room wall air outlet communicating with the ducts of a central air conditioning system. With the room wall, the housing defines an internal chamber for channeling air from the room wall air outlet to the upper or lower outlet. The central air uptake attachment is constructed to be conveniently packaged and transported and readily attached to the room wall.

A central air uptake attachment for use in a preferred orientation such that the central air uptake attachment is structurally distributed between an upper and a lower elevation, the central air uptake attachment comprising: a housing that includes a lower air outlet, an up channel, and an upper air outlet, no more than one of said outlets being operative at any time, the housing having at least three housing walls, one housing wall being a center wall and two housing walls being return walls, each return wall having a first side extending along the center wall and attached thereto and each return wall being generally perpendicular to the center wall so that, when the central air uptake attachment is used in the preferred orientation and at a preferred location within a room having a room wall, the center wall is substantially parallel to the room wall, and each return wall having a second side contiguous to the room wall and the up channel being formed of portions of each of the housing walls and the room wall, the portions cooperating to form an open-ended enclosing structure capable of channeling air from the lower to the upper elevation; a diverter that operates as a door to close off the lower air outlet when selection means is operated in a first manner, thereby making the lower air outlet inoperative, and as a diverter to divert air to the lower air outlet by closing off the up channel, when selection means is operated in a second manner, thereby making the upper air outlet inoperative; and selection means for selecting between making the lower air outlet operative and making the upper air outlet operative, whereby, when the air conditioner uptake is placed in the preferred location whereat it is adjacent the room wall air outlet in the room wall of the room, selection may be made using said selection means to bring cool air into the room through the upper air outlet and warm air into the room through the lower air outlet.
