  • Patent number: 11938790
    Abstract: A ventilation outlet for a ventilation system of a motor vehicle for directionally supplying a passenger compartment of the motor vehicle with an air flow flowing in a flow direction, having a ventilation duct for passing the air flow, with a duct wall for circumferentially delimiting the ventilation duct and a ventilation duct outlet opening for discharging the air flow into the passenger compartment, and a first air guide louver arranged in the ventilation duct and having a louver head portion and a louver head portion for deflecting the air flow, wherein the first air guide louver is held pivotably relative to the ventilation duct about a pivot axis between a first position and a second position, wherein the pivot axis runs through the louver head portion and is arranged adjacent to the ventilation duct outlet opening.

  • Patent number: 6340328
    Abstract: An air current regulating nozzle arrangement for ventilating the interior of an automobile includes an air duct with a base wall, a top wall, and two opposed side walls leading to an air discharge opening to the interior of the automobile and an array of slats mounted in the air duct adjacent to the air discharge opening which includes a fixed slat and several slats spaced one above the other which are pivotable around horizontal axes. The pivotable slats are connected to an adjusting element inside the air duct so that they can be shifted between a position in which they are parallel to each other and to the longitudinal axis of the air duct and a position in which they are at divergent angles to each other. To provide an air current regulating nozzle which prevents turbulence to a large extent, the base wall is inclined downwardly in the direction toward the air discharge opening in the region of the array of slats, forming an acute angle with the longitudinal axis.
