  • Publication number: 20240001732
    Abstract: An air nozzle of an air outlet in an interior of a motor vehicle. An operating element is adjustable around an axis of rotation. A kinematics adjustment system has a deflection unit where, via an adjustment of the operating element, a shut-off flap inside the air outlet is displaceable around a flap axis by the kinematics adjustment system. The operating element is disposed on an end of an actuator rod where the actuator rod is displaceable in a direction of extension from an actuating position into a locking position. The axis of rotation of the operating element runs transversely to the flap axis, a rotational movement of the actuator rod is deflectable by the deflection unit into a rotational movement of the shut-off flap, and, by displacing the actuator rod into the locking position, the deflection unit is lockable by applying a spring force to the deflection unit.

  • Patent number: 9346408
    Abstract: A device to arrange a high-visibility vest device, enclosing a high visibility vest at least in sections, to the side door of a motor vehicle includes fixing elements provided on the door and the vest device that interact with each other so that the vest device is moveable into and out of operative engagement with the door side fixing element.

  • Patent number: 6439296
    Abstract: A heating or air-conditioning system for a vehicle occupant compartment has an air distributor with a warm-air outlet which is connected with an air duct leading to a center plane the vehicle occupant compartment. A cold-air bypass controlled by a cold-air flap is provided for lowering the temperature of the warm air flowing out of the warm air outlet to the air duct. In the cold-air bypass, which has a relatively small cross-section, a throttling element is coupled with the cold-air flap such that the cold-air flap partially, to a defined extent, covers the warm-air outlet in the open position of the cold-air flap, thus maximally opening up the cold-air bypass. In addition, in this arrangement the throttling element completely opens up the warm-air outlet in the closed position of the cold-air flap, thus completely blocking the cold-air bypass.
