Claim 0:
1. An air-conditioning register, comprising a retainer, wherein
the retainer includes a vent passage for air-conditioning air,
the vent passage includes a downstream end in a direction of a flow of the air-conditioning air in the retainer, the downstream end being connected to an outlet port in a rear wall of an instrument panel,
the rear wall includes an inclined wall in a section above and adjacent to the outlet port, the inclined wall inclined upward toward a downstream side, and an angle defined by the inclined wall and a vertical plane being from 30° to 40°,
the retainer accommodates an upper fin and a lower fin,
the lower fin and the upper fin are located on an upstream side of the outlet port,
the lower fin extends in a vehicle width direction,
the upper fin is located above the lower fin and extends in the vehicle width direction,
the lower fin and the upper fin are both supported by fin pivots so as to be inclinable vertically,
downstream ends of an upper wall of the retainer, the upper fin, the lower fin, and a bottom wall of the retainer are arranged to be progressively shifted to an upstream side toward a lower end,
the lower fin is configured to be inclinable upward toward the downstream end by at most 30° with respect to a horizontal plane,
the air-conditioning register further comprises an interlocking mechanism configured such that, when the lower fin is inclined by a maximum angle with respect to the horizontal plane so as to be inclined upward toward the downstream end, the interlocking mechanism inclines the upper fin together with the lower fin in an interlocking manner such that an angle of the upper fin with respect to the lower fin is greater than that when in a horizontal state of the lower fin and the upper fin, and
the bottom wall includes an inclined surface located under an upstream end of the lower fin, the inclined surface being inclined upward toward the downstream end.
