Abstract: A fresh air nozzle device (10) for the passenger compartment of a vehicle, having a housing (12) which at the outlet side is provided with slats (30) for guiding the air flow and which has a slat-adjusting member. At the outlet side the housing (12) has a circular opening end portion (14) on which there is rotatably provided an adjusting ring (22) forming the slat-adjusting member. The slats (30) are connected to the adjusting ring (22). The opening end portion (14) of the housing (12) is formed with two diametrally oppositely disposed longitudinal slots which are oriented in the peripheral direction of the housing (12) and through each of which extends a respective connecting pin (34). The two connecting pins (34) are axially aligned with each other and they serve for connecting the adjusting ring (22) to an inner ring (24) which is provided with the slats (30).

Abstract: There is described a fresh air nozzle device (10) for the passenger compartment of a vehicle, having a closure flap (20) and an actuating element (60) connected to the closure flap (20). The closure flap (20) is displaceable about a spindle (22) in the housing (12) between a closure position and an open position. At the outlet side the housing (12) has a circular opening edge (18) at which there is rotatably provided an actuating ring (28) forming the actuating element (60). The actuating ring (28) is provided with an arcuately curved toothed rack element (38) which extends along a peripheral portion of the actuating ring (28). The toothed rack element (38) meshes with a drive gear (44) of a gear transmission (46) which is provided on the housing (12) and which is provided with resiliently yielding spoke elements (52). The gear transmission (46) has a driven gear (58) which is connected to the spindle (22) of the closure flap (20).
