Abstract:
According to one embodiment, a flood vent panel includes a first area, a second area, and a first set of one or more perforations positioned on a first side of the flood vent panel in a location in-between the first area and the second area. The perforations are configured to break when at least a predetermined amount of pressure is applied to a portion of the second area. The flood vent panel is configured to be coupled, at least indirectly, to a structure so as to at least partially block a fluid passageway through an opening in the structure. The break is configured to completely separate the second area from the first area so as to reduce an amount of blockage of the fluid passageway.

Claim (Index 17):
A flood vent, comprising:\n a plastic frame configured to be coupled to an exterior side or an interior side of a structure; a plastic panel configured to be coupled to the plastic frame so as to at least partially block a fluid passageway through an opening in the structure, the plastic panel having one or more louvers and further having a screen; one or more connectors configured to couple the plastic panel to the plastic frame, the one or more connectors further configured to uncouple the plastic panel from the plastic frame when a predetermined amount of pressure is applied to a portion of the plastic panel on a first side of the plastic panel by a fluid and/or an object carried by the fluid, so as to reduce an amount of blockage of the fluid passageway provided by the plastic panel, the one or more connectors further configured to uncouple the plastic panel from the plastic frame when the predetermined amount of pressure is applied to a portion of the plastic panel on a second side of the plastic panel opposite of the first side of the plastic panel by the fluid and/or the object carried by the fluid, so as to reduce the amount of blockage of the fluid passageway provided by the plastic panel; and one or more second connectors configured to couple the plastic frame to the exterior side or the interior side of the structure, the one or more second connectors comprising one or more screws and/or an adhesive.
