Abstract

The present invention relates to a vent cover device that prevents animals from entering a rooftop vent. The device is comprised of a body, at least one cage, and at least one lid. The cage and lid may be comprised of one opening to allow proper ventilation without obstruction and while simultaneously preventing animals from entering the rooftop vent. The device is also comprised of a locking mechanism to ensure that the lid cannot be opened by animals. In this manner, the device can be applied to any vent such that animals cannot enter the vent, and wherein the device does not inhibit the function of the vent.

         2 . The vent cover device of  claim 1 , wherein the lid is comprised of a heat-resistant metal material. 
     
     
         3 . The vent cover device of  claim 1 , wherein the body is comprised of a heat-resistant metal material. 
     
     
         4 . A vent cover device comprising:
 a body;   a cage base attached to the body;   a cage attached to the cage base; and   a lid attached to the cage via a hinge.   
     
     
         5 . The vent cover device of  claim 4 , wherein the cage is comprised of a metal wire. 
     
     
         6 . The vent cover device of  claim 4 , wherein the lid is comprised of an opening. 
     
     
         7 . The vent cover device of  claim 4  further comprising an adhesive trap. 
     
     
         8 . The vent cover device of  claim 7 , wherein the adhesive trap is positioned on the body. 
     
     
         9 . A vent cover device comprising:
 a body;   a fastener;   a connecter;   a locking mechanism;   a cage base attached to the body;   a cage attached to the cage base; and   a lid attached to the cage via a hinge.   
     
     
         10 . The vent cover device of  claim 9 , wherein the connector is comprised of an adhesive tape. 
     
     
         11 . The vent cover device of  claim 10 , wherein the adhesive tape is comprised of a waterproof material.
