Zusammenfassung:The present invention discloses a vent assembly comprising:apertures in a wall of a reservoir, wherein the reservoir defines an interior volume, and wherein the apertures are in fluid communication with the interior volume of the reservoir;a post extending from the wall of the reservoir;a closure member retained on the wall of the reservoir proximate the apertures and configured to rotate about the post, the closure member including a base with openings, wherein the base of the closure member is positioned over the apertures to limit the entry of air into the reservoir when the closure member is in the unvented position, and wherein the openings of the closure member are aligned with the apertures to allow air to pass into the reservoir when the closure member is in the vented position, anda closure member retainer that retains the closure member on the post, wherein a compressive force is generated between the closure member retainer and the closure member such that the closure member is compressed against the wall of the reservoir.
