  • Pressure relief valve and method of forming the same
    Patent number: 7077742
    Abstract: A pressure relief valve (10) includes a housing (12) with a peripheral side wall defining at least one central airflow passage and at least one flap valve element (14). The housing (12) and the flap valve element (14) have a molded connection for enabling rotation of the flap valve element relative to the housing between a closed condition overlying the at least one central airflow passage (24) to prevent airflow from atmosphere (21) into the passenger compartment (19) and an open condition permitting airflow out of the passenger compartment of the vehicle to atmosphere. The at least one flap valve element (14) moves from the closed condition to the open condition in response to differential pressure between the passenger compartment (19) and atmosphere (21).
