Abstract
A vent providing excellent airflow and water intrusion resistance in a compact design.
Claims19
A vent, comprising:
- a lower panel having a front edge and a back edge;
- an upper panel spaced from the lower panel, the upper panel having at least one array of apertures therethrough;
- a face panel extending between the lower and upper panels in a direction from the front edge of the lower panel toward the back edge of the lower panel;
- and walls extending between the lower and upper panels, the walls defining inner channels and outer channels therebetween, the walls having openings therein;
- wherein the lower panel includes at least one airflow hole therethrough, the airflow hole extending along and being generally aligned with longitudinal axes of the inner channels, wherein the openings include louvers extending upward from the upper panel.

A vent, comprising:
- a lower panel having a front edge and a back edge;
- an upper panel spaced from the lower panel, the upper panel having at least one array of apertures therethrough;
- a face panel extending between the lower and upper panels in a direction from the front edge of the lower panel toward the back edge of the lower panel;
- and
- walls extending between the lower and upper panels, the walls defining inner channels and outer channels therebetween, the walls having openings therein;
- wherein the lower panel includes at least one airflow hole therethrough, the airflow hole extending along and being generally aligned with longitudinal axes of the inner channels,
- wherein at least two arrays of apertures are present,
- wherein each of the outer channels is positioned below a respective one of the arrays of apertures,
- wherein a longitudinal axis of each of the outer channels extends along a longitudinal axis of the associated array of apertures.

A vent, comprising:
- a lower panel having a front edge and a back edge;
- an upper panel spaced from the lower panel, the upper panel having at least one array of apertures therethrough;
- a face panel extending between the lower and upper panels in a direction from the front edge of the lower panel toward the back edge of the lower panel;
- walls extending between the lower and upper panels, the walls defining inner channels and outer channels therebetween, the walls having openings therein;
- and
- a barrier positioned toward a back end of at least some of the inner channels,
- wherein the lower panel includes at least one airflow hole therethrough, the airflow hole extending along and being generally aligned with longitudinal axes of the inner channels.

A vent, comprising:
- a lower panel having a front edge and a back edge;
- an upper panel spaced from the lower panel, the upper panel having arrays of apertures therethrough aligned in rows, the rows extending in a direction between the front and back edge of the lower panel;
- a face panel extending between the lower and upper panels in the direction from the front edge of the lower panel toward the back edge of the lower panel;
- and
- walls extending between the lower and upper panels, the walls defining inner channels and outer channels therebetween, the walls having openings therein,
- wherein the outer channels are positioned below and are aligned with the arrays of apertures, wherein longitudinal axes of the outer channels extend along longitudinal axes of the arrays of apertures,
- wherein the lower panel includes airflow holes therethrough, the airflow holes extending along longitudinal axes of, and being aligned with, the inner channels.
