Louvered vent cover

摘要

A louvered vent cover includes a pest guard cover, a louver frame and a vent duct attachment. The pest guard cover has a grilled guard and is mounted on the louver frame by means of pins. The louver frame contains several louvers which permit one-way passage of the air to the exterior of the building. The louver frame is mounted to the vent duct attachment by means of tabs and a clip. The vent duct attachment is adapted to fit within a vent duct. The louvered cover may be mounted over a vent duct in a new construction, or, without use of the vent duct attachment, may be mounted over an existing vent duct cover.
