  • Publication number: 20210213800
    Abstract: An air-conditioning system may include at least one outlet for discharging an air current into the space, first and second distribution elements for adjusting differing first and second parameters of the system, the first and second distribution elements adjustable over first and second adjusting ranges, respectively, and a cam plate for adjusting the distribution elements and featuring first and second guide structure for adjusting the first and second distribution elements, respectively. The guide structures may be configured such that the first distribution element remains in a predefined position over a predefined first angular range of rotation of the cam plate, and the second distribution element may be adjusted in dependence on a rotational angle of the cam plate in the first angular range of rotation. The first distribution element may be adjusted when the second distribution element is in a predefined position at an end of the second adjusting range.

  • Patent number: 9033775
    Abstract: A cam and lever system comprising a cam having a side perpendicular to an axis of rotation of the cam and a channel on the side of the cam, the channel having a bottom wherein the channel is at least partially defined by a first wall and a second wall that diverge as the distance from the bottom increases, a lever, having a pin extending into the channel and an axis of rotation that is generally parallel to the axis of rotation of the cam, and having a configuration sufficient to provide point contact with the walls of the channel.
