Abstract:
An air current regulating nozzle arrangement for ventilating the interior of a motor vehicle comprising a nozzle having an air flow passage with an air discharge opening and adjusting means for adjusting an air flow passing through the nozzle, wherein the nozzle passage has at least one outlet section which widens in the direction toward the air discharge opening wherein the adjusting means include an array of slats including at least two slats which are supported adjacent to their outer edges by first supports located at fixed positions with respect to the air flow passage and are supported at locations spaced inwardly from the outer edges by second supports which are movable to cause the slats to rotate with respect to each other between parallel orientations in which one of the slats engages a wall of the outer section to reduce the cross section of the air flow passage at the discharge opening and provide an intensive parallel air flow and orientations in which the slats diverge outwardly toward the air discharge opening to provide a diffused air flow.
