Abstract: A lever for an air vent assembly. The lever includes a first arm and a second arm, each extending from a base portion creating a guiding path therebetween. The first arm includes a first portion having a curved profile to facilitate abutment of the first portion with a movable disc of the assembly. The lever has a flexible third arm extending from the base portion and configured substantially parallel to the second arm. This shape and/or material of the third arm facilitates smooth and constant abutment of the first portion with the movable disc, and ensures a soft contact of the first lever against an inner surface of a housing of the assembly.

Abstract: A vehicle air vent manual control assembly can be equipped at a passenger compartment of an automobile. Example installations include at an instrument panel, at a B-pillar, and at a rear center console. The vehicle air vent manual control assembly includes a knob through which a user can manipulate a first set of air directive vanes, a second set of air directive vanes, and a shutoff flap. Pivotal movement of a shaft via the knob prompts movement of the first set of air directive vanes. Translational movement of the shaft via the knob prompts movement of the second set of air directive vanes. And rotational movement of the shaft prompts movement of the shutoff flap.
