Claim 12:
13. An air register assembly, comprising:
a frame having a first side and a second side, wherein the frame is operable between a first position and a second position;
a vane rotatably coupled to a third side of the frame and a fourth side of the frame, wherein the vane includes a projection that extends through the third side of the frame;
a vane position indicator coupled to the projection and disposed on an opposing side of the third side of the frame relative to the vane, wherein the vane position indicator rotates with rotation of the vane, and wherein the vane position indicator includes a body that tapers towards a protrusion at an end of the vane position indicator, the protrusion extending towards the vane;
a frame position indicator coupled to the frame, wherein the frame position indicator adjusts with the frame as the frame moves between the first and second positions, and wherein the frame position indicator includes a body that tapers towards a protrusion at an end of the frame position indicator, the protrusion extending towards the vane; and
a guide assembly coupled to the frame and extending upstream from the frame proximate to the vane, wherein the guide assembly includes guide features fixed to the frame, and wherein the guide features include a first guide feature disposed centrally to the frame and fixed to the second side of the frame via a support feature and a second guide feature disposed centrally to the frame and proximate the first side of the frame, wherein the first guide feature is spaced from and operably coupled to the second guide feature and each of the first guide feature and the second guide feature is configured to rotate with the frame.
