  • Patent number: 5556334
    Abstract: A ventilation nozzle for the interior of a motor vehicle, having a nozzle housing and a set of pivotable fins which extend parallel to one another over the housing opening. For the purpose of obtaining an aesthetic appearance when the ventilation nozzle is installed in curved wall surfaces, the fins and those housing walls of the nozzle housing which are parallel to the fins each have a front edge extending in a curved manner, matching the curvature of the wall surface, and each fin is divided in the longitudinal direction into a front part, which bears the curved front edge, and into a rear part which continues immediately from the front part. The front parts are fastened rigidly in the nozzle housing, whereas the rear parts are held pivotably on the front parts and are coupled to one another for the purpose of a joint pivoting movement.
