Abstract: A control mechanism for controlling a plurality of movable elements of a ventilation nozzle using only one drive. The control mechanism includes a base body, a control gate, and at least two driven elements. A sliding block element having two degrees of freedom with respect to the base body is guided by alternating movements in two opposite directions of the first degree of freedom by the control gate and, in the process, consecutively abuts the first and/or second driven elements. So as to design such a control mechanism as simply as possible, rotational movements are utilized, instead of translatory movements.

Abstract: An air vent for a motor vehicle with two air control elements that are disposed inside one another, the outer air control element of which is tubular in such a way that the air control elements delimit a first air channel between one another, and the outer air control element delimits a second air channel between itself and a tubular housing of the air vent. For restricting an air current flowing through the air vent, the two air control elements can be displaced by way of two helical gears coaxially in the housing, which are disposed coaxially inside one another and in the housing and which include a tube including an internal thread and an external thread, serving as a shared drive element, which forms a spindle nut for an interior, and a (hollow) spindle for an exterior, of the two helical gears.

Abstract: Two disks are consecutively disposed transversely to a flow direction in an air vent for a passenger compartment of a motor vehicle, serving as air deflection elements that include mutually intersecting slots, through which a rod that is pivotably mounted in a ball and socket joint passes, so that the air deflection elements can be moved transversely in the air vent by way of the rod. By moving the air deflection elements, an air current through the air vent can be guided to the side, and thus air flowing out of the air vent can be guided obliquely to the side in any arbitrary direction.

Abstract: A holder for holding, for example, a beverage can, in a tilt-proof manner, in a motor vehicle is designed with two rings that are disposed concentrically inside one another, serving as supports (7), which can be consecutively raised and lowered by rotating a control sleeve comprising radial cams. By raising only the larger ring, the holder is suitable for a beverage can having a larger diameter, and by raising both rings, it is suitable for a beverage can having a smaller diameter.

Abstract: An air vent for ventilating a passenger compartment of a motor vehicle. The air vent includes an air channel, which is divided, by an air splitter, into two partial air channels, which can be steplessly partially or completely blocked for air passing through, by blocking elements, which are pivotably mounted at the air splitter. The blocking elements may be displaced by way of a ram, which can be moved in the air splitter transversely to the air channel. Either one or the other blocking element can be selectively displaced by way of the ram. The respective other blocking element, in an open position, then rests against the outside of the air splitter.

Abstract: So as to guide an air current flowing out of an air vent for a motor vehicle, an air deflection element, which can be moved transversely in an air channel of the air vent, is disposed upstream of an air guide body in a flow direction, which includes air passages, for which the air deflection element includes congruent windows.

Abstract: An air vent for ventilating a passenger compartment of a motor vehicle and in which an air quantity control element is provided in an air divider, which can be moved selectively into one of two air ducts, into which the air divider divides the air vent. A ratio of air quantities that flow through the two air ducts determines an outflow direction out of the air vent.

Abstract: An air vent for a passenger compartment of a motor vehicle, having a woven fabric disposed in the air outlet opening thereof, which increases the air permeability thereof upon expansion, whereby a volume of air can be controlled. If, alternatively, the woven fabric is illuminated from behind, a brightness can be varied by expanding the woven fabric.

Abstract: In an air vent for a motor vehicle, a control surface mechanism includes a fixed fin and two congruent rudders at a rear end of the fin in a flow direction, which can be pivoted away from one another in a V shape so as to guide an air current to one side.

Abstract: An air vent for ventilating a passenger compartment of a motor vehicle, including a rectangular housing and a rectangular air outlet opening. So as to guide an air current and so as to control an air volume, a flow-around body is proposed that can be displaced longitudinally and transversely in the housing and also be used to close the air outlet opening.

Abstract: A holder for a beverage container, for example a beverage can has a first support in the form of a ring and a second support projecting into the ring, which supports are, for the purpose of raising and lowering, pivotally mounted on a common axis and connected in terms of drive so that, when the second support is pivoted, the first support is moved along with it. A locking element for the first support is unlocked as a result of pivoting the second support.

Abstract: The invention relates to a glove compartment (3) for a motor vehicle. In order to provide a glove compartment of such a kind that allows the driver better access, the invention proposes that the glove compartment (3) have a pivotal mounting by means of which the glove compartment (3) can be pivoted towards the driver's side of the motor vehicle.
