Patent ID: 7238103

Claim:
A register, comprising: a retainer formed as a cylinder shape substantially, demarcating a ventilation passage therein, and having an outlet opening; and a fin assembly comprising a plurality of fin members, the fin members formed as a strip shape substantially, having a swing shaft and disposed in the retainer in a manner neighboring one after another, thereby adjusting a blowing direction of air flowing out from the outlet opening of the retainer by swinging the fin members from a close position, at which an opening area of the outlet opening is minimum, to an opening position, at which the opening area of the outlet opening is maximum, or vice versa; one of the neighboring paired fin members having a first end, the other one of the neighboring paired fin members having a second end facing the first end when the fin members swing to the close position, a space being formed between the first end and the second end when the fin members are disposed in the close position; the register further comprising an air deflector disposed between the first end and the second end, thereby deflecting the blowing direction of air flowing out from the outlet opening of the retainer outward and upward when the fin members swing to the close position, wherein the first end comprises an end of the one of the neighboring paired fin members, the end disposed outward when the fin members swing to the close position, and has a first air deflector surface forming the air deflector and inclined outward when the fin members swing to the close position, wherein the first air deflector surface is inclined upward from an inside of the ventilation passage toward an outside of the outlet opening by an angle of 60 degrees or more with respect to the flowing direction of air coming from inside the ventilation passage when the fin members swing to the close position.
