Abstract
Description


FIG. 1 is top perspective view of the vent cap;



FIG. 2 is a bottom perspective view thereof;



FIG. 3 is a front view thereof;



FIG. 4 is a rear view thereof;



FIG. 5 is a plan view thereof;



FIG. 6 is a bottom view thereof;



FIG. 7 is a right side view thereof;



FIG. 8 is a left side view thereof;



FIG. 9 is a cross-sectional view thereof along line 9-9 of FIG. 3;



FIG. 10 is a cross-sectional view thereof along line 10-10 of FIG. 3;



FIG. 11 is a perspective reference view of the vent cap in use together with a vent filter and a housing;



FIG. 12 is a cross-sectional reference view of the vent cap in use together with a vent filter and a housing; and,



FIG. 13 is a cross-sectional reference view of the vent cap in use together with a vent filter.


The portions shown in evenly broken lines do not form part of the design. The alternating long and short dashed lines show a boundary between claimed and unclaimed features.


The article for which a design right is sought is a vent cap which is used while being placed on a vent filter attached to a housing for a headlight for a vehicle, an outdoor lightning device, a communication device and the like. For example, as illustrated in the reference which shows the usage state, by placing the present article on the vent filter, decrease in the ventilating function, which is caused by adhesion of dust and liquid to the filter, can be prevented, and furthermore as illustrated in the reference FIG. 13 which shows the usage state, the ventilating passage as indicated by arrows can be secured.
