The air vent also includes a flexible flap within the duct having one end free and movable from a vertical first position to a second position and the opposite end of the flap is secured to the duct. The flap has a dimension less than the inside lateral cross section of the duct. There is also a partition spaced from the free end of the flap when the flap is in the first vertical position and the partition has an opening smaller than the flap whereby the opening is covered when the machine is in operation and the flap is in the second position.
