  • Patent number: 4928582
    Abstract: Nozzle for discharging ventilation air from a ventilation system, preferably arranged in a vehicle and including at least one discharge housing with a plurality of parallel plates, which are arranged displaceable relative to each other in the transverse direction under the action of a control lever. The plates are formed with a pattern of holes which in coaction form ventilation ducts through which ventilation air can flow and allow deflection of the ventilation air flow direction in response to a set position of the control lever. An object of the invention is to prevent the parallel plates from turning in relation to each other and about the control lever.

  • Patent number: 4614151
    Abstract: An outlet nozzle for a ventilation system, including at least one housing with a through-flow duct for ventilation air, a plate transverse the flow direction and fixed to the outlet housing, and a plurality of plates parallel to said fixed plate, these plates being mutually displaceable laterally under the action of a control lever, the plates being formed with a perforation pattern for forming in coaction ventilation ducts through which the ventilation air can flow and in response to the set position of the control lever to allow deflection of the ventilation airflow direction. The control lever is arranged to grip in each displaceable plate a grid cross comprising at least two crossing bars having a substantially circular and elliptical cross section, respectively. The control lever is preferably formed like a turning fork, with a longitudinal slot in each prong, the prongs and the slits holding the bars.

  • Patent number: 4519302
    Abstract: An arrangement for distributing ventilation air in a vehicle includes a ventilation housing with at least one air distribution means for distributing air to a plurality of different outlets. A substantially cylindrical distribution chamber in said ventilation housing has an inlet and several outlets distributed circumferentially in its wall. Within said chamber there is a pivotable flap for controlling the outlets. At least three outlets are arranged within an angular sector of 180.degree. or less, and these outlets open out via separate ducts at given outlet locations in the vehicle passenger compartment.
