Abstract: A braking arrangement for rotatably supporting an element rotatable about an axis such as a control wheel, rotary control knob or the like, for example for a vehicle fresh air nozzle, has a plug-shaped casing with an end portion and a peripherally extending flange extending away from the end portion and having a circular external peripheral surface. The external surface of the flange forms a rotary mounting surface for the rotatable element. The flange encloses a central guide space for two braking members which have braking portions facing diametrally away from each other. The braking portions extend through transverse holes in the flange. The two braking members are urged away from each other by a spring disposed therebetween.

Abstract: A fresh air nozzle device (10) for the passenger compartment of a vehicle, having a housing (12) which at the outlet side is provided with slats (30) for guiding the air flow and which has a slat-adjusting member. At the outlet side the housing (12) has a circular opening end portion (14) on which there is rotatably provided an adjusting ring (22) forming the slat-adjusting member. The slats (30) are connected to the adjusting ring (22). The opening end portion (14) of the housing (12) is formed with two diametrally oppositely disposed longitudinal slots which are oriented in the peripheral direction of the housing (12) and through each of which extends a respective connecting pin (34). The two connecting pins (34) are axially aligned with each other and they serve for connecting the adjusting ring (22) to an inner ring (24) which is provided with the slats (30).
