  • Patent number: 10464392
    Abstract: A heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) assembly. The HVAC assembly includes a first shaft and a first airflow door movable by the first shaft. A second shaft and a second airflow door movable by the second shaft are also included. A case houses the first airflow door and the second airflow door. A cap is coupled to both the first shaft and the second shaft outside of the case. Rotation of the cap simultaneously rotates the first shaft and the second shaft.

  • Patent number: 10220667
    Abstract: A heating, ventilation and air conditioning system includes a case having a face outlet and a foot outlet. A door is movable between a first position closing the face outlet and opening the foot outlet and a second position opening the face outlet and closing the foot outlet. A bypass passage allows air flow around the door when the door is in the second position to allow a specified amount of air flow to the foot outlet when the door closes the foot outlet.

  • Patent number: 9956846
    Abstract: A blower unit for a vehicle heating, venting, and air conditioning (HVAC) unit is disclosed. The blower unit includes a case member that defines at least one exterior air intake aperture and at least one interior air intake aperture. The blower unit also includes a sealing member, a first door, and a second door. The first and second doors can move independent of each other. The first and second doors can be positioned in a mixture position to allow air flow into the blower unit through both the exterior and interior air intake apertures. The first door, in the mixture position, is sealed against the sealing member. As such, the first door and the sealing member cooperate to reduce air flow out of the blower unit through the interior air intake aperture.

  • Patent number: 9676245
    Abstract: A heating, ventilation and air conditioning system includes a blower unit that has a first interior air intake, a second interior air intake and an exterior air intake. Three doors are moved between open and closed positions to define a recirculation mode, a fresh mode and a partial recirculation mode. As the doors move between their open and closed positions, a variable partial mode and a variable fresh mode are defined.
