Abstract: A sound attenuating cover is adapted for intimate fitment to a compressor of a domestic air conditioner, and comprises an outer sleeve member and a generally circular top member which is releasably secured to the outer sleeve member. Hook and loop fasteners secure a first end of the outer sleeve member to a portion of the outer periphery of the sleeve member. When the closure member secures the top member to the outer sleeve member, and the hook and loop fasteners are secured, a cylindrical cover having a closed top end is formed having a diameter adapted for intimate fitment to a compressor of a domestic air conditioner. Each of the outer sleeve member and the circular top member comprises inner and outer cover sheeting material, and at least one layer of sound attenuating material which is typically glass fiber together with barium loaded vinyl.

Abstract: A baffled vent, for attachment to material of a cover structure intended for outdoor use to cover an article, having a grip portion and a vent portion mounted to said grip portion. The vent portion has an inner side and an outer side. A channel, in fluid communication with the inner side and the outer side, passes through the vent portion. A fluid flow constrictor is mounted to the vent portion within the channel. Typically, a peripheral margin is formed around the periphery. The vent portion typically has a cap portion and a base portion with an inner aperture at one end of the channel. Normally, the lower end of the cap portion and the grip are integrated and the grip portion and the base plate define an aperture at the other end of the channel.

Abstract: A molded insert for attachment to material of a cover intended for outdoor use to cover an article has a front face, a back face, and a plurality of openings through its thickness. Each opening has a larger area in the front face than in the back face, and is formed so that the bottom-most extent of the smaller area in the back face is higher than the bottom-most extent of the larger area in the front face of the molded insert, when the molded insert is placed in a vertical orientation. There may be a first region in the molded insert where there are no openings formed. Typically, a peripheral margin is formed around the periphery, and an upstanding wall portion extends forwardly of the peripheral margin at least in the top region when the molded insert is placed in a vertical orientation.
