Abstract
A vehicle vent top cover capable of ventilation in a closed position. The top cover includes a top plate having side protection plates extending therefrom. The side protection plates have terminal edges that are offset from the top plate. A duct is contained within the top cover. The duct has an inlet for receiving air from within a vehicle to which it is attached and an outlet that is located between the terminal edges of the terminal edges of the side protection plates and the top plate.
Claims13
A vehicle vent top cover comprising:
- a top cover having a top plate, said top plate including side protection plates extending from said top plate and said side protection plates having terminal edges that are offset from said top plate;
- a duct contained within said top cover, said duct having an inlet for receiving air and an outlet spaced from said inlet being adjacent to one of said side protection plates, said outlet being located between said terminal edges of said side protection plates and said top plate, wherein said duct includes a lower sidewall that is offset from said top plate and said lower sidewall being located between said top plate and said terminal edges of said side protection plates, said lower sidewall of said duct having an area for accommodating a seal that may be mated thereto, wherein said seal separates said inlet from said outlet when said seal is mated to said lower sidewall of said duct.
A vehicle vent top cover for use in combination with a ventilator body comprising:
- a top cover having a top plate, said top plate including side protection plates extending from said top plate and said side protection plates having terminal edges that are offset from said top plate;
- a duct contained within said top cover, said duct having an inlet for receiving air from within said vehicle and an outlet spaced from said inlet, said outlet being located between said terminal edges of said side protection plates and said top plate, said duct having a surface for contacting a seal surrounding said ventilator body, said seal contacting said duct between said inlet and said outlet when said vehicle vent top cover is in a closed position thereby allowing air to pass from said inlet to said outlet when said seal is contacting said duct.
A vehicle vent top cover comprising;
- a top cover having a top plate, said top plate including side protection plates extending from said top plate and said side protection plates having terminal edges that are offset from said top plate, said top cover being pivotable into a closed position with respect to a seal located adjacent to said top cover, said closed position putting said seal in contact with said top cover;
- a duct contained within said top cover, said duct having a lower sidewall for contacting said seal when said top cover is in said closed position, said lower sidewall being offset from said top plate and located between said terminal edges of said side protection plates, said duct including an inlet and an outlet being located on opposite sides of said seal and allowing air to pass between said inlet and said outlet when said top cover is in said closed position.
