The disclosure and prior art relate to venting devices and more particularly pertain to a new venting device for use in a wall that is constructed with queen size bricks.
An embodiment of the disclosure meets the needs presented above by generally comprising a pipe that is rectangularly shaped and is configured to be inserted by a first end into a hole that positioned in a wall that comprises queen-sized bricks. The pipe has a second end that is closed. A plurality of apertures that is positioned in the second end of the pipe is configured to vent a space behind the wall. A flange that is coupled to and extends substantially perpendicularly from a perimeter of the second end of the pipe is configured to cover a gap between the pipe and at least one of an upper course and a lower course of the queen-sized bricks that define the hole in the wall.
There has thus been outlined, rather broadly, the more important features of the disclosure in order that the detailed description thereof that follows may be better understood, and in order that the present contribution to the art may be better appreciated. There are additional features of the disclosure that will be described hereinafter and which will form the subject matter of the claims appended hereto.
The objects of the disclosure, along with the various features of novelty which characterize the disclosure, are pointed out with particularity in the claims annexed to and forming a part of this disclosure.
The disclosure will be better understood and objects other than those set forth above will become apparent when consideration is given to the following detailed description thereof. Such description makes reference to the annexed drawings wherein:
With reference now to the drawings, and in particular to
As best illustrated in
A flange 20 that is coupled to and extends substantially perpendicularly from a perimeter 22 of the second end 16 of the pipe 12 is configured to cover a gap between the pipe 12 and at least one of an upper course and a lower course of the queen-sized bricks that define the hole in the wall, as shown in
The flange 20 has a top 24 and a bottom 26 that are separated by from 26.7 to 35.0 centimeters and opposing ends 28 that are separated by from 42.0 to 50.0 centimeters. The top 24 and the bottom 26 may be separated by from 30.0 to 32.0 centimeters and the opposing ends 28 may be separated by from 42.5 to 46.0 centimeters. The top 24 and the bottom 26 may be separated by 30.5 centimeters and the opposing ends 28 may be separated 43.2 centimeters.
The top 24 and the bottom 26 are positioned 6.4 centimeters from the perimeter 22 of the pipe 12. Prior art devices are dimensioned such that they fail to cover the gap between the pipe 12 and the queen size bricks, as shown in
In use, the device 10 is installed into the hole in the wall. The flange 20 covers the gap between the pipe 12 and the queen size bricks.
With respect to the above description then, it is to be realized that the optimum dimensional relationships for the parts of an embodiment enabled by the disclosure, to include variations in size, materials, shape, form, function and manner of operation, assembly and use, are deemed readily apparent and obvious to one skilled in the art, and all equivalent relationships to those illustrated in the drawings and described in the specification are intended to be encompassed by an embodiment of the disclosure.
Therefore, the foregoing is considered as illustrative only of the principles of the disclosure. Further, since numerous modifications and changes will readily occur to those skilled in the art, it is not desired to limit the disclosure to the exact construction and operation shown and described, and accordingly, all suitable modifications and equivalents may be resorted to, falling within the scope of the disclosure. In this patent document, the word “comprising” is used in its non-limiting sense to mean that items following the word are included, but items not specifically mentioned are not excluded. A reference to an element by the indefinite article “a” does not exclude the possibility that more than one of the elements is present, unless the context clearly requires that there be only one of the elements.
