Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a vent assembly or breathing tube adapted to relieve pressure in an axle assembly or other gear housing. A vent tube is disposed within a casing and terminates at a non-truncated oblique open end. At least one hole extends through the side of the casing to allow pressurized gases within the housing to escape through the vent tube via the oblique opening. The casing has a hole disposed on a substantially closed bottom surface to allow the return of any lubricant which might enter the casing through the side hole. The side hole is preferably located on a side opposite the side facing the oblique opening.
