Abstract: A mechanical control device for the air flowing through air conditioning outlets. A control assembly with a lever that can be adjusted in two or more predetermined positions for different settings of air flow direction and volume. The lever lodges in two or more respective bays in a plate that locks the lever firmly in one of the preselected positions. The control assembly is mounted typically at a readily accessible position on a wall. A shielded cable assembly is controlled by the control assembly at one end and the other end is connected to the adjustable fins found in conventional air conditioning outlets. The shielded cable is hidden and routed from the wall mounted control assembly to the outlet protruding from the ceiling. The fins are commonly connected and spring biased to a preset position.
