Patent ID: 7566261

Claim:
An air outlet device for a vehicle cabin, comprising: a tubular body which forms an air guide passage; a plurality of primary wind-direction adjustment plates each having a separate axis of rotation which are rotatably supported within the tubular body and are adapted to open and close an outlet opening of the tubular body, the outlet opening being provided at a front end of the tubular body, wherein one of the primary wind-direction adjustment plates is configured such that its tip end edge gradually separates from an inner wall surface of the tubular body when the primary wind-direction adjustment plates are rotated so as to open the outlet opening from a closed condition; a connection member which connects the primary wind-direction adjustment plates together and rotates the primary wind-direction adjustment plates in an interlocked manner; and a secondary wind-direction adjustment plate which is fixedly secured substantially parallel to a wind upstream surface of said one primary wind-direction adjustment plate with a predetermined spacing formed therebetween, wherein said secondary wind-direction adjustment plate is dimensioned so as not to contact the tubular body when the primary wind-direction adjustment plates are in each of a closed position, half-opened position, and a completely opened position.
