  • Publication number: 20170343235
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a ceiling cassette air conditioner with which design deterioration due to wind direction vanes during operation is reduced. The ceiling cassette air conditioner of this invention includes a main body arranged in a ceiling and having a rectangular cross-section opening opens on a room side, a blower fan blowing air taken in from an air inlet to a discharge outlet in the main body, a heat exchanger arranged in the main body and downstream of the blower fan and exchanging heat with the air taken in from the air inlet, a decorative panel covering the opening to be flush with a ceiling surface, and wind direction vanes arranged in the discharge outlet for adjusting blowing directions. The wind direction vanes are arranged behind the decorative panel.

  • Patent number: 9696051
    Abstract: An air conditioner includes: a stepped portion provided on a side of an outlet of an air passage wall; an air passage extension having a rotary shaft in the outlet, the air passage extension being rotatable in an opening direction about the rotary shaft to bring a rear end into abutment with the stepped portion in such a manner that the air passage extension integrates with the air passage wall to form a curved surface of a predetermined curvature; and a rotary mechanism configured to cause the air passage extension to rotate in such a manner as to bring the rear end into abutment with the stepped portion when the air conditioner is put into operation.

  • Patent number: 9046956
    Abstract: As for a position input apparatus that, when a user applies a pressure to an operation area, determines a pressed position where the pressure is applied, the manufacturing cost of the position input apparatus is reduced. An operation plate is a flat plate having the operation area on one surface. A plurality of pressure sensors (pressure detection devices) detect, at respectively different pressure detection positions, a detection position pressure generated by the pressure applied to the pressed position. A pressed position determination device determines the pressed position, based on a plurality of detection position pressures detected by the plurality of pressure sensors.
