Abstract
An air deflector is designed for use with an air vent supported in a suspended ceiling grid. The air deflector includes a deflector body with four side members, each having a pair of opposed ends and a mid-portion therebetween. At least two of the side members further include a support tab extending outwardly from the upper edge of the downwardly extending wall segment. The deflector body is formed from a resilient material such that the deflector may be deformed into a non-rectangular shape and the support tabs may be positioned between the upper surface of the grid members defining the rectangular opening and the lower surface of the perimeter edge of the air vent, without disassembling the deflector body or removing the air vent from the rectangular opening.
