  • Publication number: 20240003447
    Abstract: A vent assembly having a housing (106) defining a cavity (202), a first end (102) and a second end (104), where the second end includes a coupling structure (108). The first end defines a window (110) in fluid communication with the cavity, wherein the window has a window perimeter. The vent assembly includes a vent media (206) spanning the cavity of the housing, where the vent media is breathable and forms a watertight seal to the housing at a perimeter of the vent media. The first end includes a screen structure (300) within the window perimeter of the window that can include repeating structures defining open areas.

  • Patent number: 11077748
    Abstract: A shutoff vent is disclosed. A main body has a first end and a second end. The main body defines a first opening towards the first end, a second opening towards the second end, and a mating port between the first opening and the second opening. The first opening and the second opening are in communication through the mating port to define a gas passageway. A translatable plug is disposed within the main body, and the gas passageway extends past the translatable plug. The translatable plug is configured to reversibly translate towards the second end to sealably obstruct the mating port. In some examples, the translatable plug is configured to translate towards the second end when force is applied to the translatable plug from the first end.
