Abstract: A new Soffit Mounted Dryer Vent for offering a non-maintenance exhaust vent system for a clothes dryer vent that terminates in a soffit of a roof overhang. The inventive device includes a flange, a dryer hose adapter ring, an outlet fitting, and a vent flapper. The flange has an air passage, an upper surface, and a lower surface. The air passage allows exhaust air to pass through the flange from the dryer hose adapter ring to the outlet fitting. The dryer hose adapter ring is symmetrically mated to the upper surface of the flange. The dryer hose adapter ring has an outer wall diameter of substantially the same dimensions as the clothes dryer vent hose thereby allowing the clothes dry vent hose to matingly slip over the dryer hose adapter ring. The outlet fitting, having an outlet opening, is adjoiningly mated to the lower surface of the flange. The vent flapper is pivotally attached to the outlet fitting at the outlet opening.In use, the clothes dryer vent hose is slipped over the dryer hose adapter ring.

Abstract: A device for reliably covering air vents in special vehicles. The device consists of parallel strips of L-shaped or S-shaped structural section. The object is to reliably prevent not only foreign bodies but also migrating splinters thereof from penetrating inside. The end of each strip that points inside the vehicle has additional structures and parts thereof, some of which extend essentially at an angle to the end of the strip.
