Patent number: 10286756Abstract: An air outlet device has a supporting structure suitable for communicating, in use, with an air ventilation system, and an outlet member that is configured so as to supply an air flow along an outlet axis and is coupled to the supporting structure so as to rotate by 180° about a joint axis orthogonal to the outlet axis, to assume two opposite configurations. The outlet member comprises a plurality of deflecting walls defining a plurality of air ducts, which are arranged about the outlet axis and distributed axially in sequence. The deflecting walls are shaped and/or positioned so as to guide the air in the air ducts in directions having a radial component. At least one of the deflecting walls has a series of through-holes made in positions that are spaced apart about the outlet axis.Type: GrantFiled: December 2, 2016Date of Patent: May 14, 2019Assignee: C.R.F. Società Consortile per AzioniInventors: Andrea Perosino, Fabrizio Mattiello, Giorgio Masoero, Tiziana Virdis, Stefano Bernard

Patent number: 7527329Abstract: A vehicle seat comprises at least one passage for a heating or conditioning air flow and a flow deviating device associated to the seat to control the flow of air through such passage. The flow deviating device comprises at least one Coanda effect deviating device. In the case of application to the front seat of a car, the passage internal to the seat for the ventilation air flow has an upstream end communicating with an air supplying duct, and a downstream end communicating with a discharge duct whose outlet opens at the rear of the seat, to ventilate the rear part of the car passenger compartment. Said passage inside the seat is formed on the surface of the seat padding in the area of contact with the user's body, immediately below the cover of the padding. The discharge duct is arranged such that the flow of air through the passage carries out a flushing action of the area of contact with the user's body and is not forced to flow substantially through the cover.Type: GrantFiled: June 15, 2007Date of Patent: May 5, 2009Assignee: C.R.F.

Patent number: 7409985Abstract: A motor vehicle air conditioning system including a Coanda effect air distributor device and mixing means which allow to vary the temperature of the air available to the different outlet conduits of the distributor device for the same setting of the means for regulating the temperature of the system. In this way, for a same setting of the temperature regulating means, the air conveyed to the outlets situated at the base of the windshield is at a higher temperature than the air conveyed to the other outlets and in particular to those adjacent to the floor of the motor vehicle passenger compartment. Preferably, a third, still lower temperature level is available to the outlets situated in the front part of the dashboard of the motor vehicle in the direction of the motor vehicle occupants.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2003Date of Patent: August 12, 2008Assignee: CRF Societa Consortile per AzioniInventors: Marco Biasiotto, Andrea Perosino, Francesco Butera
