  • Publication number: 20220219508
    Abstract: An air vent for a vehicle includes a housing having an air inlet region and an opposite air outlet region, an air stream splitter received at least regionally in the housing in such a way that, at least in the air outlet region of the housing, an air duct that is delimited or defined by the housing is split into a first air duct and a second air duct separated therefrom. For air deflection as needed in a vertical direction, the air vent has at least two air guiding elements, which are received in the first air duct and are opposite to one another and are pivotable about a common first axis of rotation, and including at least two air guiding elements, which are received in the second air duct and are at least regionally opposite to one another and are pivotable about a common second axis of rotation.

  • Publication number: 20220161628
    Abstract: An operator element for an air vent of a vehicle, wherein the operator element is slidably or rotatably mounted relative to a carrier element, and wherein the operator element is associated with a friction brake having an elastically deformable friction body, which elastically springingly pushes against the operator element and/or the carrier element, such that the friction brake moves the operator element relative to the carrier via friction. The friction body is aligned at least in regions in the longitudinal direction of the movement path of the operator element and has at least in regions a cross-section with an at least substantially star-shaped, in particular X-shaped or Y-shaped, cross-sectional surface or a polygonal cross-sectional surface having at least three corners or a cross-sectional surface having circumferentially distributed tooth regions.

  • Publication number: 20180126824
    Abstract: Air vent for a motor vehicle. The air vent includes a housing which creates a flow connection between an air inlet region and an air outlet region. A lamellar carrier is movably mounted in the housing. The air vent also includes a blocking element which can be moved between a closed position in which said element blocks the flow connection and an open position in which said element releases the flow connection. The lamellar carrier and the blocking element are parts of a push-push mechanism which which is activatable by overpressing the lamellar carrier from a specific use position into an operation direction. The lock element changes its position by the activation of the push-push mechanism.
