Abstract
A range hood having an excellent collecting efficiency of greasy smoke generated from a cooking range is provided. The range hood comprises side plates disposed below the body, each of which has an inclined surface formed thereon, and a deflecting plate having a horizontal portion shaped in parallel with the bottom face of the body and an inclined portion shaped in parallel with the inclined surface of the body. The deflecting plate is narrower than the body and arranged so as to form an inlet port at the front and both sides thereof and to form a suction passage between the top face thereof and the body. The inclined portion of the deflecting plate is disposed between the body and the inclined surface of the side plate. Since the inlet speed of greasy smoke at the inlet port on the front side is larger than that on the rear side, greasy smoke ascending along the deflecting plate is effectively collected.
