VENT COVER
First Claim
1. A vent cover, comprising:
- a hood adapted to be mounted to a surface comprising a vent, the hood defining an inlet and an outlet, a plane of the outlet being substantially perpendicular to a plane of the inlet, the vent cover being configured to direct air flow between the inlet and outlet; and
a deflector comprising;
a first wall extending from the hood adjacent to the outlet and substantially parallel to the inlet plane; and
a second wall extending from the first wall and substantially parallel to the outlet plane, such that the second wall is spaced from the outlet so as to substantially block air flow from an exterior of the vent cover into the outlet in a substantially perpendicular direction to the outlet plane, the first and second wall defining an air channel in communication with the outlet and substantially parallel to the inlet and outlet planes.

Abstract
There is disclosed a vent cover, comprising a hood and a deflector, for covering a vent and is adapted for mounting to a surface with a vent. The hood, defining an inlet and an outlet, is configured to direct air flow between the inlet and the outlet. The plane of the outlet is substantially perpendicular to the plane of the inlet. The deflector comprises a first wall which extends from the hood and is adjacent to the outlet. The deflector further comprises a second wall which extends from the first wall and is substantially parallel outlet plane. The deflector is adapted to substantially block air flow from an exterior of the vent cover into the outlet in a substantially perpendicular direction to the outlet plane. The first and second wall define an air channel in communication with the outlet and is substantially parallel to both the inlet and outlet planes.
