  • Patent number: 11904658
    Abstract: A ventilation device for the inside of a motor vehicle, having at least one air outflow element and at least one associated directional element. The at least one air outflow element is provided in a functional arrangement with an air channel element. The air channel element represents the connection to a supply device as part of an air conditioning system. At least one light element is also provided. The arrangement of the at least one directional element and the at least one air outflow element work together so that the ventilation device can be continuously adjusted at least between two inside ventilation conditions. The at least two ventilation conditions respectively differ at least by means of a direction of outflowing air directed directly into the inside and directed indirectly along a roof liner designed for this reason in relation to a seat region of the motor vehicle.
