Abstract
The fire resistant multi-guard louver vent incorporates a staggered angled baffles with an air gap in between them. The air gap is punctuated by a secondary mesh screen connecting the top angled baffle to the angled baffle below it. The primary mesh screen covers part of the frame facing closest to the secondary mesh screen. An intumescent material is applied either to the inside part of the frame, and/or the underside of the angled baffles.
Claims11
A device, comprising:
- a metallic frame with a front and back opening;
- angled baffles contained within the metallic frame;
- wherein the angled baffles are staggered one on top of the other, with a gap in between each of the angled baffles, such that each angled baffle is secured to two sides of the frame;
- wherein the angled baffles are oriented in an inverted “V” shape such that the concave part of the inverted “V” shape is facing towards the bottom of the metallic frame;
- and
- wherein the angle created inside of the concave part of the inverted “V” shape measures 45 degrees;
- and
- a secondary mesh screen located between any two angled baffles, wherein the secondary mesh screen is integrated on top of one half side of the angled baffle and terminates at the underside of another half side angled baffle, where a gap exists, thereby communicatively connecting those two angled baffles together.
