Abstract
A cover for a vent that is disposed within an aperture is provided herein. The aperture is formed by first, second, third, and fourth wall surfaces of a foundation wall. The cover comprises a piece of material that defines a first cover surface having a first protuberance surrounding a generally rectangular planar portion. The protuberance and planar portion cooperate to define a concavity. The protuberance is configured to contact the vent and thereby form a seal. In one embodiment, the cover includes another protuberance that extends along the periphery of the cover and is configured to contact the first, second, third, and fourth wall surfaces to form yet another seal.

FIGS. 1 and 2 , afoundation wall 10 of abuilding 14 at least partially defines acrawl space 18, as understood by those skilled in the art. Thewall 10 may, for example, comprise cement, concrete, bricks, stone, etc. Thewall 10 also defines at least oneaperture 22 that extends through thewall 10 from thecrawl space 18 to the exterior of thebuilding 14. Avent 26 is disposed within theaperture 22 to prevent the entry of larger objects and animals into thecrawl space 18 while still permitting the flow of air into and out of thecrawl space 18. - More specifically, in the embodiment depicted, the
aperture 22 is rectangular, defined by foursurfaces wall 10.Surfaces surfaces vent 26 is disposed about midway between theinner surface 34 of thewall 10 and theouter surface 38 of the wall; accordingly, thevent 26 is recessed in theaperture 22. Thevent 26 contacts each of the foursurfaces 30A-D and defines a plurality ofopenings 42 that extend through thevent 26. Theopenings 42 shown in the embodiment depicted are rectangular; however, it should be noted a vent may have openings with any size, shape, and arrangement within the scope of the claims. - Referring to
FIGS. 3-6 , wherein like reference numbers refer to like components throughout, avent cover 50 is schematically depicted. Thevent cover 50 is usable to block theaperture 22 in thewall 10. Thevent cover 50 is formed from asingle piece 54 of material. In one of the preferred embodiments, the material is a closed cell polyurethane foam. Thecover 50 in the embodiment depicted defines afirst surface 58 that is generally planar with the exception of aprotuberance 62 in the central portion of thefirst surface 58. Theprotuberance 62 may be used as a handle when inserting thecover 50 into theaperture 22 or removing thecover 50 from theaperture 22. - The
cover 50 defines asecond surface 66 on the opposite side of thecover 50 from thefirst surface 58. Thesecond surface 66 includes a generallyplanar portion 70 and a protuberant portion, i.e.,protuberance 74, that forms a generally rectangular perimeter around theplanar portion 70. Theprotuberant portion 74 and the generallyplanar portion 70 cooperate to define aconcavity 78. - Referring specifically to
FIG. 6 , theprotuberant portion 74 includes asurface 82 that forms anobtuse angle 86 with theplanar portion 70. Thesurface 82 cooperates with theplanar portion 70 to define theconcavity 78. Theprotuberance 74 defines anouter surface 90 that is substantially perpendicular to theplanar portion 70. Accordingly, theprotuberance 74 is wider at itsbase 94 than at itsterminus 98, which connectssurfaces protuberant portion 74 has a constant cross-sectional shape, as shown in the Figures, i.e., theprotuberant portion 74 has the same cross-sectional shape around the rectangular perimeter it forms. - The
cover 50 also defines aprotuberance 102 that extends around the perimeter of thecover 50 betweensurfaces FIG. 6 , theprotuberance 102 is characterized by a generally circular cross-sectional shape. More specifically, at least a portion of thesurface 106 of theprotuberance 102 is curvilinear in cross-section, and, in the embodiment depicted, forms an arc of a circle in cross-section. -
FIG. 7 depicts the cover in use. Referring toFIG. 7 , wherein like reference numbers refer to like components from Figured 1-6, thecover 50 is inserted into theaperture 22 from the outside of thebuilding 14, withsurface 66 facing toward thevent 26. Theprotuberance 102 contacts each ofsurfaces cover 50 are slightly larger than the dimensions of theaperture 22; accordingly,surfaces 30A-D exert forces on theprotuberance 102 that cause elastic deformation of theprotuberance 102. This elastic deformation causes a reaction force from theprotuberance 102 to thesurfaces 30A-D, thereby retaining thecover 50 in theaperture 22 and providing at least some sealing. - The
cover 50 is inserted into theaperture 22 until theterminus 98 of theprotuberant portion 74 contacts thevent 26, as shown inFIG. 7 , and elastically deforms. The elastic deformation of theterminus 98 and theprotuberant portion 74 provides a seal around all theopenings 42 in thevent 26 and increases surface area contact between thecover 50 and thevent 26. - Often,
vents 26 include parts that protrude outward, such as fasteners, ornamentation, etc. Theconcavity 78 accommodates these protruding vent parts (not shown). - Accordingly, the
vent cover 50 provides an effective closure for thevent 26, preventing or restricting the flow of air into thecrawl space 18. Thevent cover 50 improves upon the prior art because it may be formed of a single piece of material, which reduces complexity and cost. The mechanical properties of the material of the vent cover also provide thevent cover 50 with enhanced durability (no wood or metal to rot or corrode) and flexibility (which assists with ease of installation and removal). In the embodiment depicted, thevent cover 50 is formed of closed cell polyurethane foam using a technique, as understood by those skilled in the art, that creates adurable skin 110 on the outer surface of thevent cover 50. -
FIGS. 8 and 9 , wherein like reference numbers refer to like components fromFIGS. 1-7 , schematically depict an alternative embodiment of the cover in accordance with the claimed invention. Referring toFIGS. 8 and 9 , cover 100 is identical to the cover shown at 50 inFIGS. 3-7 , except that thefirst surface 158 is characterized by threeplanar portions steps planar portion Portion 104 is adjacent the periphery ofsurface 158.Portion 108 is protuberant fromportion 104, andportion 112 is protuberant fromportion 108. Accordingly, as best seen inFIG. 8 , thecover 100 is thinner atportion 104 than atportion 108, and thecover 100 is thinner atportion 108 than atportion 112. - Accordingly, the
cover 100 atportion 104 has added flexibility compared to the cover shown at 50.Portion 108 provides structural rigidity to thecover 100.Portion 112 functions as a handle for inserting and removing the cover.Protuberance 102 extends fromportion 104. - While the best modes for carrying out the invention have been described in detail, those familiar with the art to which this invention relates will recognize various alternative designs and embodiments for practicing the invention within the scope of the appended claims.
