Abstract

See full text

A venting mechanism which includes three members. A first member having threads defined thereon connected to a second offering a hexagonally shaped external surface. The third member features a bore which defines an annular surface at the intersection with a bore through the second member. A baffle is located within the bore of the second member by engagement with the annular surface defined between the second and third member. A Gortex film and a wire mesh placed within the bore of the third member are retained by a rolled lip thereof. In this manner, the baffle and the Gortex film act to maintain liquid on one side of the breather while allowing gases to freely pass therethrough.
