Abstract: An air conditioner register includes a downstream retainer portion, a barrel pivotally mounted in the downstream retainer portion to change the flow direction of air for air conditioning, and a pair of guide fins. First outer surfaces of the barrel extend along first inner surfaces of the downstream retainer portion. The barrel is supported pivotally about a pivot shaft extending in the direction perpendicular to a second inner surface of the downstream retainer portion. Each of the guide fins guides air for air conditioning into the opening of the barrel upstream in the airflow direction. Together with pivoting of the barrel from its neutral position, one of the guide fins is moved together with the barrel to a position between the barrel and a portion of the first inner surface of the downstream retainer portion from which the opening of the barrel upstream in the airflow direction becomes separated as the barrel pivots.

Abstract: A downstream side fin group is formed by a plurality of fins. Among these fins, end fins positioned at both ends in an arranging direction are arranged near second wall portions. Each end fin has an extension portion which is bent at upstream end thereof and extends toward the corresponding second wall portion. A space is provided near each second wall portion in the ventilation passage. Each space is closed by the corresponding extension portion at a time when the corresponding end fin is arranged at a maximum inclined position at which the end fin is most away from the second wall portion, and the extension portion enters the space at a time when the end fin is arranged at a different position from the maximum inclined position.

Abstract: When an operation wall of an inner member is inserted into an insertion portion of an outer member and an engagement piece does not receive a cam operation due to a slanted cam portion, contact pieces of the outer member do not correspond to a positioning hole of the inner member and are located in a position so as not to be inserted into the positioning hole. When the outer member is inserted into an attachment hole of an attachment receiving member with maintaining a state where the engagement piece does not receive the cam operation due to the slanted cam portion, the contact pieces are elastically deformed inwardly and located in a position so as to be inserted into the positioning hole.

Abstract: It is to provide a console box, in which a ventilation duct is integrated with the console box without using a slide core, thus suppressing the increase of costs and preventing dew formation in a box body.
