Abstract

The present device a soffit vent section for mounting onto a soffit includes a left and a right wall including vented sections, the walls connected at a lower end apex to form a V shaped section aligned along a longitudinal direction. A longitudinal baffle is centrally disposed between the walls and includes a bottom edge which makes contact with the walls at the apex. The soffit vent section includes a left and right flange projecting horizontally from an upper end of the left and right wall respectively wherein the flanges for fastening the soffit vent section to the soffit. Preferably the soffit vent section is fastened to a soffit and is in combination with a fascia having a fascia lip. The fascia includes a fascia portion F and a lip portion L, wherein the lip portion L being at least of equal length or greater length than the fascia portion F such that the combination of the soffit vent section and the fascia portion channeling air into the soffit vent section.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A soffit vent section for mounting onto a soffit, the soffit vent section comprises:
 a) a left and a right wall which include vented sections, the walls connected at a lower end apex to form a V shaped section aligned along a longitudinal direction;   b) a longitudinal baffle centrally disposed between the walls, includes a bottom edge which makes contact with the walls at the apex;   c) a left and a right flange projecting horizontally from an upper end of the left and right wall respectively, the flanges for fastening the soffit vent section to the soffit.   
     
     
         2 . The soffit vent section claimed in  claim 1  wherein vented sections including louvers. 
     
     
         3 . The soffit vent section claimed in  claim 2  wherein the louvers projecting outwardly at right angles to the wall. 
     
     
         4 . The soffit vent section claimed in  claim 1  wherein the walls form a V shaped continuous section aligned along a longitudinal direction. 
     
     
         5 . The soffit vent section claimed in  claim 1  wherein the soffit vent further includes at least one end wall to close off a wall end of the vent cover. 
     
     
         6 . The soffit vent section claimed in  claim 5  wherein the end wall includes a vented section. 
     
     
         7 . The soffit vent section claimed in  claim 1  wherein the soffit vent further includes at least one cross brace transversely disposed and spanning between the walls for supporting and holding the baffle centrally between the walls. 
     
     
         8 . The soffit vent section claimed in  claim 1  wherein the baffle top edge being a corrugated edge having a S pattern configuration. 
     
     
         9 . A soffit vent section fastened to a soffit in combination with a fascia having a fascia lip;
 the soffit vent section includes:
 a) a left and right wall including vented sections, the walls connected at a lower end apex to form a V shaped section aligned along a longitudinal direction; 
 b) a longitudinal baffle centrally disposed between the walls, includes a bottom edge which makes contact with the walls at the apex; 
 c) a left and right flange projecting horizontally from an upper end of the left and right wall respectively, for fastening the soffit vent section to the soffit; 
   the fascia includes:
 d) a fascia portion F and a lip portion L, wherein the lip portion L being at least of equal length or greater length than the fascia portion F; 
   such that the combination of the soffit vent section and the fascia portion channeling air into the soffit vent section.   
     
     
         10 . The combination claimed in  claim 9  wherein the vent height H being at least as long as the lip portion L. 
     
     
         11 . The soffit vent section claimed in  claim 9  wherein vented sections including louvers. 
     
     
         12 . The soffit vent section claimed in  claim 11  wherein the louvers projecting outwardly at right angles to the wall. 
     
     
         13 . The combination claimed in  claim 9  wherein the walls of the soffit vent section form a V shaped continuous section aligned along a longitudinal direction. 
     
     
         14 . The combination claimed in  claim 9  wherein the soffit vent section further includes at least one end wall to close off a wall end of the vent cover. 
     
     
         15 . The combination claimed in  claim 9  wherein the soffit vent section further includes at least one cross brace transversely disposed and spanning between the walls for supporting and holding the baffle centrally between the walls; 
     
     
         16 . The combination claimed in  claim 9  wherein the baffle top edge being a corrugated edge having a S pattern configuration.
