Door or window vent assembly having limited heat loss when vent is closed

摘要

An assembly includes a ventilation member 10 having a vent region (12, Figure 6) and a plurality of inner and outer mounting regions (24, 26, Figure 6), inner and outer frame components 28, 30 securable to the mounting regions (e.g. snap fitted by resilient lugs 22), and end caps 32 securable to the frame components (e.g. screwed using screw locations 36). Two inner 28a, 28b and outer 30a, 30b frame components may be provided wherein the inner components carry a movable component 40 to open or close the vent region, and the outer frame components provide a lip 44 to shield/protect the vent region from wind and rain. The inner and outer frame components and end caps may be shaped/sized for installation between a door/window frame 52 and a glazing unit 46 carried by the frame. The ventilation member serves as a thermal break between the inner and outer frame components.
