Abstract: A hooded exhaust vent having walls bounding an exhaust opening covered by a guard, in the assembly of which the walls and guard respectively have laterally extending slides urged in sliding movement into slide tracks in the path of the movement to establish a sliding interconnection therebetween.

Abstract: A dwelling eaves vent apparatus having a diameter-increasing passageway component to compensate for the impediment to flow unavoidably caused by a screen over the outlet to atmosphere of the component, and wherein the component is characterized by being embodied with a conical shape which maintains directional guidance to discharging air/gas content to thereby contribute to obviating turbulence during discharge through the screen.

Abstract: In a method of exhausting an interior room to atmosphere through a corrugated conduit, the use of a connector which is attached to the corrugated conduit by tongues seated in the recesses of the conduit corrugations as a result of a telescoping together of the connector and conduit, the tongues preventing opposite direction untelescoping and obviating leakage-promoting crushing of the corrugations as might result from using a clamp.

Abstract: In the flow path to atmosphere venting hot exhaust gases of a clothes dryer, a fluid-tight seal between a flow-diverting elbow telescoped about a clothes dryer exiting conduit consisting of a rubber sleeve in increasing thicknesses in width in the direction of flow effective in providing an establish sealing contact into the sleeve at a location of its thickness which obviates leakage of gas through the telescoping connection.

Abstract: A simplified installation construction for a venting device which requires from a select one of several sizes of an input diameter a correlation to a matching diameter of a flexible conduit, the simplification resulting from using an interconnection of the diameters which once made, is difficult to disconnect but is known not to require a disconnecting mode, and wherein the sizes of input diameters not used are merely discarded. This is a noteworthy alternative to attempting to correlate the diameter of a flexible conduit to all input diameter sizes of the venting device.

Abstract: For a contracting and expanding bellows hose connected from a clothes dryer to an opening in a wall to vent hot air to atmosphere, a kink-obviating hose support on the back of the dryer which limits contraction and expansion to a selected length portion of the hose, wherein there is adequate hose expansion to permit movement away from the wall to provide working clearance for maintenance and yet, when the dryer is moved back against the wall, the length portion is too short to fold or kink as would block the exiting flow of the hot air.
