Abstract: A connection includes a first component, second component and a cord member. The first component has an opening with an inner surface and a first annular groove disposed about the inner surface. The second component has a top end configured to fit in the opening. The top end has an outer surface with a second annular groove disposed about the outer surface. The first annular groove and the second annular groove are configured to form a channel in response to being disposed in cooperative alignment. The cord member is configured to be removably inserted into the channel to secure the first component to the second component. The cord member includes a tapered portion disposed at a distal end of the cord member and is configured to provide a mechanical advantage to urge the first annular groove and the second annular groove into cooperative alignment in response to being inserted therein.

Abstract: A damper box includes a curved wall, an outlet, a side wall, and filter and a damper. The curved wall has an outside surface, an inside surface, and a separator sandwiched between an outside air inlet and a recirculated air inlet. The side wall is disposed between the recirculated air inlet and the outlet. The filter has a curvature matching the curved wall and covering the outside surface of the curved wall. The damper has an axis of rotation adjacent to and in alignment with the separator. The damper has a first face and a trailing edge. The first face is curved and configured to mate with a curved frame disposed about the outside air inlet. The trailing edge is configured to mate with the side wall. A ratio of outside air to recirculated air is modulated in response to the damper being rotated.
