Abstract
An exhaust vent for venting exhaust air from an electronic chassis includes a body portion having a length. The body portion is mounted to the electronic chassis. The body portion includes an upper portion that extends along the length of the body portion and a lower portion that also extends along the length of the body portion. The upper portion includes a deflector portion and the lower portion includes a curved portion. The deflector portion of the upper portion and the curved portion of the lower portion define an exhaust opening in the body portion to allow the exhaust air from the electronic chassis to pass through the exhaust opening in a downward direction and to conceal an inside portion of the electronic chassis.
