  • Patent number: 5120272
    Abstract: A discharge nozzle has directional blades which can be swivelled about a swivel axis running parallel to the discharge-side front edge of a housing. The blades are swivelled by means of a coupling part, providing the directional blades with a common orientation. Diffused air flow through the discharge nozzle is selectively provided by diffusing insert blade segments which are insertable between the directional blades. The diffusing blades are part of a rigid diffusing grid, which is at least partially insertable from the back side of the directional blades between these blades and which is guided in a sliding manner in the nozzle housing by means of a rotary control button having a spiral guideway.

  • Patent number: 5080002
    Abstract: Starting with an outlet nozzle having directional louvers which are mutually slaved by a coupler in the region of their air-intaking back edge and are respectively able to swivel around a swivel axis which runs parallel to the front edge on the outlet side, a further increase of comfort can be achieved by means of an additional diffused setting of the directional louvers with simple means of small construction, whereby the directional louvers are guided in the region of their back edges by those types of crank guideways for the directional louvers in a horizontally and vertically guided crank carriage. The directional louvers are guided in a first setting of the crank carriage into a parallel directed airstream setting with the ability to swivel parallel to each other. During a horizontal movement of the crank carriage, the louvers are correspondingly guided into the respective diffused-flow setting by their respective crank guideways.
