  • Publication number: 20220314746
    Abstract: In a slim air vent apparatus for a vehicle, since an external wing rotating in an up and down direction is provided per duct, the air vent may be configured to be compact and slim, and since both an internal wing and the external wing are located to be inserted inside the duct, a hidden feeling may be provided and an appearance may be improved. Furthermore, since a function is realized by manually operating a single knob located in the center portion of the external wing by a user, convenience of operation may be improved, costs may be reduced, and thus, the slim air vent apparatus for a vehicle may be universally applied.
