Claim 18:
19. An air-water separating air exchange device comprising:
(1) at least one vent mechanism that services air exchange in and out of at least one brake actuator housing, wherein the at least one vent mechanism comprises a plurality of breathing apertures distal to the housing and axial to at least one vent through-hole allowing gas to exchange from the interior of the housing into at least one sheltered area and wherein the breathing apertures exit the vent mechanism immediately proximal to a shelter covering,
(2) at least one shelter of the vent mechanism distal from the housing that provides at least one sheltered area distal to the vent mechanism, wherein the at least one shelter of the vent mechanism distal from the housing comprises axial sidewalls at least partially in contact or integrated with at least one base member and rising distally from the housing and comprises at least a distal cover in contact or integrated with the sidewalls and said at least one shelter is annular with sidewalls distally tapering in a conical and narrowing direction to the distal cover where the distal cover is likewise annular and provides said shelter covering of said vent mechanism,
(3) at least one area-enclosing abutment rising distally from the housing enclosing at least the at least one shelter and a distal portion of the at least one vent mechanism, wherein the at least one area-enclosing abutment is axial to the vent mechanism and encompasses at least the distal portion of the vent mechanism and the shelter of the vent mechanism and wherein the at least one area-enclosing abutment is annular and axial to the distal portion of the vent mechanism rising distally from the housing and wherein the at least one area-enclosing abutment comprises a juncture with the at least one shelter of the vent mechanism to provide a fluid-catchment junction between the at least one area-enclosing abutment and the at least one shelter and wherein the fluid-catchment junction is provided at an integrated juncture among the at least one shelter, the at least one area-enclosing abutment, and the at least one base member,
(4) a plurality of fluid-exchange passageways within the at least one shelter of the vent mechanism allowing fluid exchange between the at least one sheltered area and the at least one abutment, wherein fluid exits the at least one sheltered area via movement through one or more of the plurality of fluid-exchange passageways and exits the device by moving over the at least one abutment and air exchanges between the interior of the housing and the exterior of the housing through the at least one vent mechanism and through the plurality of fluid-exchange passageways and wherein one or more of the plurality of fluid-exchange passageways provides fluid exchange between the at least one sheltered area and at least one fluid-catchment junction, and
(5) said at least one base member comprising at least one base-member through-opening integrated with the at least one vent mechanism to allow air exchange between the interior of the housing and the exterior of the housing through the at least one through-hole of the at least one vent mechanism wherein the at least one base member comprises at least one attachment mechanism for attachment of the device to at least one associated through-opening in said housing wherein the base member is constructed in an integral manner from a resilient elastomeric material and comprises a retention portion which can be assembled in a positive-locking manner with resilient deformation to the associated through-opening in the at least one housing and further comprises an extension arm extending outward from the retention portion of the base member and comprising a resilient deformable annular and tubular stem further comprising an attachment mechanism for insertion in a corresponding stem attachment receiving hole in the housing.
