Abstract:
An air flow control arrangement is constructed with an air feed into an interior of a motor vehicle. Vertical and horizontal air guiding vanes are swivelably arranged in a housing, and controllable by way of an adjusting device. The housing can be fastened in an opening of a column paneling. The housing has a vertically aligned air guiding duct that includes a first lower duct section with an adjusting flap which can be swiveled about a bearing axis into a horizontal closed position, a vertical open position and intermediate positions, and a second adjoining upper duct section with the integrated air guiding vanes. The adjusting flap can be operated by means of the operating element via a reversing bow which is connected with a crank of the flap and can be swiveled at the housing in a bearing. The housing is fastened by detent hooks which can be snapped onto edges of the column paneling. Furthermore, a retaining spring fastens the head side of the housing.
Abstract:
Air vent assemblies for vehicles that facilitate interchangeability of air vents and other components include an air duct manifold, a trim plate, and a plurality of interchangeable air vents. An air duct manifold includes a plurality of air ducts, with each air duct terminating at a respective outlet. A trim plate includes opposite front and rear walls, with a plurality of nozzles extending from the rear wall in spaced-apart relationship. Each nozzle detachably engages a respective air duct outlet and is configured to receive air from the air duct and allow the air to pass therethrough and out of a respective opening in the trim plate front wall. Each air vent is detachably secured within a respective opening in the trim plate front wall and may be easily detached for repair or replacement.
Abstract:
Air duct outlets having joystick controls are provided. A housing has an inlet, an outlet and a frame secured within the housing between the inlet and outlet. A louver assembly is operably coupled to the frame and includes a first set of louvers and a second set of louvers positioned upstream from the first set of louvers. The first set of louvers are operably connected together such that pivotal movement of any one of the louvers in the first set causes pivotal movement of the remaining louvers in the first set. The second set of louvers are operably connected together such that pivotal movement of any one of the louvers in the second set causes pivotal movement of the remaining louvers in the second set. A joystick is configured to pivot the first and second sets of louvers about respective axes.
Abstract:
A device for diffusing a stream of air F inside a passenger compartment, in particular that of a motor vehicle, including an air supply area, whereof at least one part of its diffusion is effected through a porous panel, constituting, in particular, at least one portion of a dashboard, a door panel or a roof, and allowing said stream of air F to flow freely simultaneously in all spatial directions, wherein a filtering member is interposed between the air supply area and the porous panel.
Abstract:
An air ventilator for ventilating cold or heated air into the interior of an automobile from a duct is provided. The air ventilator includes a pair of wing units having a plurality of wings fixed in various angles, a housing for receiving the wing units, and a gear mounted between the wing units and engaged to be driven by a motor to rotate the wing units simultaneously to automatically change the direction of ventilated air. The pair of wing units preferably have their wings twisted to direct air flow in opposite directions.
Abstract:
An air-guiding nozzle has a fixed slat and several parallel pivoting slats. The fixed slat is configured to supply air to a vehicle side window and the pivoting slats are configured to blow air onto a person in the interior of the vehicle. When the pivoting slats are pivoted to their full extent, several of them close the discharge region that blows air onto a person in the interior of the vehicle and at least one of the pivoting slats interacts with the fixed slat such that the discharge region which supplies air to the vehicle side window is enlarged. This allows a compact construction of the air-guiding nozzle, which makes it particularly suitable for integration into the region of the B-pillar above the door ledge of a motor vehicle.
Abstract:
A vehicle (1) having a sound-radiating element (10) for emitting sound waves into a passenger compartment (2) and having an air duct (6) for the air conditioning of the passenger compartment (2), the air duct (6) having an air duct inner wall (7) facing the passenger compartment (2). To reduce the installation space for the sound-radiating element and to simplify the assembly, the sound-radiating element (10) has the air duct inner wall (7) and an oscillation exciter (9) arranged on the air duct inner wall (7), for exciting oscillation of the air duct inner wall (7).
Abstract:
An air-mixing system comprises a fluid deflector device with analogical operation which enables continuous regulation of the distribution of a main flow coming from a main duct into two secondary ducts.
Abstract:
An air outlet system of a sphere and socket type. The air outlet system includes a housing, a hollow sphere rotatably mounted therein, and a bearing therebetween; and pluralities of openings in respective predetermined shapes formed in oppositely disposed portions of the hollow sphere for dispersing air supplied thereto from a remote source in respective diffused or straight paths, depending upon the rotational position of the hollow sphere in the housing. An intermediate position of the sphere between the oppositely disposed openings serves to block the flow of air.
Abstract:
An air current regulating nozzle arrangement for ventilating the interior of an automobile includes an air duct with a base wall, a top wall, and two opposed side walls leading to an air discharge opening to the interior of the automobile and an array of slats mounted in the air duct adjacent to the air discharge opening which includes a fixed slat and several slats spaced one above the other which are pivotable around horizontal axes. The pivotable slats are connected to an adjusting element inside the air duct so that they can be shifted between a position in which they are parallel to each other and to the longitudinal axis of the air duct and a position in which they are at divergent angles to each other. To provide an air current regulating nozzle which prevents turbulence to a large extent, the base wall is inclined downwardly in the direction toward the air discharge opening in the region of the array of slats, forming an acute angle with the longitudinal axis. The slat adjacent to the base wall extends parallel to the base wall when in the slots are in the divergent angled position.
