vent holes

Breathing spaces built-in

Vent holes are small openings that allow air, gas, steam, or heat to escape from an enclosed space.

They appear in cooking equipment, electronics housings, protective helmets, and industrial molds: The vent holes in the lid keep the pot from boiling over.

In manufacturing, vent holes prevent air pockets during casting or molding processes.
