Patent ID: 10967700

Abstract:
A vehicle HVAC system delivers airflow to a vehicle occupant cabin having a front row and a rear row. The vehicle HVAC system includes a casing, a front duct, a shifter base assembly and a distribution duct. The front duct defines an airflow passageway that is fluidly coupled to the casing. The shifter base assembly is disposed in the vehicle occupant cabin and includes a base housing defining an airflow passageway that is fluidly coupled to the front duct. The distribution duct defines an airflow passageway that is fluidly coupled to the shifter base assembly and the rear row of the vehicle occupant cabin. The airflow passageways of the casing, the front duct, the base housing and the distribution duct form a continuous passageway through which air flows into the rear row of the vehicle occupant cabin.
