Abstract:
An air outlet assembly securable to a structure, said air outlet assembly comprising:a housing fixedly secured to the structure, said housing defining first and second sides, an inlet and an outlet defining a plane;a first door pivotally secured to said housing adjacent said first side and pivotal between a first closed position substantially covering a portion of said outlet and a first open position defining an obtuse angle between said first door and said plane of said outlet, said first door passing through an intermediate position between said first closed and first open positions;a second door pivotally secured to said housing adjacent said second side and pivotal between a second closed position substantially covering a remaining portion of said outlet and a second open position defining a generally perpendicular angle between said second door and said plane; andan actuator engaging said first and second doors to pivot said first door between said first closed position and said first open position and to pivot said second door between said second closed position and said second open position and back from said second open position toward said second closed position while said actuator pivots said first door between said intermediate position and said first open position such that angles defined by said first and second doors with respect to said plane are supplementary when said first door is between said intermediate position and said first closed position and the angles defined by said first and second doors with respect to said plane are equal when said first door is between said first open position and said intermediate position.
