  • Patent number: 9863661
    Abstract: An air conditioner includes a main body unit and an auxiliary housing. The main body unit forms a first air outlet which blows out a cool or warm airflow. The auxiliary housing is attached to at least one side of the first air outlet to be freely movable, and forms a second air outlet which blows out taken-in indoor air. A control circuit controls a second wind direction plate so that a second reference plane PL2 which regulates a wind direction of the second wind direction plate intersects a first reference plane PL1 which regulates a wind direction of a first wind direction plate, on a downstream side of the airflow.

  • Patent number: 9718329
    Abstract: An airflow outlet assembly and a passenger compartment for a vehicle includes a housing defining an aperture extending along a central axis. The housing includes a central support disposed in the aperture proximal to the central axis. First and second outlet components are at least partially disposed in the aperture of the housing. The first outlet component includes a first plate and a first vane extending outwardly from the first plate toward the central axis. The second outlet component includes a second plate and a second vane extending outwardly from the second plate toward the central axis. The first and second outlet components are rotatable concurrently with each other to change the position of the first and second plates and the first and second vanes relative to the housing such that the first and second plates selectively close and open the aperture.
