Abstract

A HVAC filter frame assembly includes a frame that is positioned in a return air duct of an HVAC system. A pair of rails is each coupled to the frame. A vent is hingedly coupled to the frame and the vent is positionable in between an open position and a closed position. A pair of supports is each hingedly coupled between the frame and the vent. Each of the supports restricts motion of the vent when the vent is opened to retain the vent at a maximum angle with the frame. A filter is positionable between the vent and the rails for filtering air passing through the vent and into the return air duct. The filter is removable when the vent is positioned in the open position. Moreover, each of the supports ranges motion of the vent thereby inhibiting the filter from falling outwardly from the return air duct when the vent is opened. Thus, the filter is inhibited from striking a user when the filter is being changed.
