An air register assembly includes a barrel having first and second sides extending between third and fourth sides. A first retainer is disposed adjacent to the third side. A second retainer is disposed adjacent to the fourth side. A support feature extends between the first and second sides of the barrel. The support feature includes a first vane member extending from the first connector, a second vane member extending from the second connector and toward the first vane member, and a linking member extending between the first and second vane members.

An air vent includes a housing, first and second air ducts, a first vane, and a set of vanes. The air ducts convey respective volumetric flows of air through the housing so that each volumetric flow exits the respective air duct in a different intersecting direction so that the flows of air collide after exiting the air ducts. A vane located along one of the air ducts is moveable to vertically change a perceived air discharge direction. A set of vanes includes at least one vane located in each air duct and is moveable to horizontally change the perceived air discharge direction.

An air vent (1) for vehicles, including a housing (6) and a kinematic assembly (2) which can be accommodated at least partly by the housing (6) and includes two side plates (3) and at least one air-guiding element (4) which is movable between the two side plates (3) relative to the side plates (3), wherein the kinematics (5) required for coordinating movement of the at least one air-guiding element (4) are integrated into the side plates (3) or provided on the side plates (3), and wherein the side plates (3) have a shape that is independent of the kinematics (5) required for coordinating the movement of the at least one air-guiding element (4) and is at least regionally complementary to an adapter region (8) of the housing (6), such that, in order to form a kinematics module (7), the housing (6) is releasably connectable to differently configured kinematic assemblies.

Air vent for an automotive HVAC system, having a control support vane (3) and a controlled vane (6), wherein the control support vane (3) and the controlled vane (6) are arranged in respective arrays in different orientations, the control support vane (3) supports a control member (4) connected to the controlled vane (6), which is arranged behind the control support vane (3), and the control support vane (3) and the controlled vane (6) are connected by an extending linkage (8).

An air vent for a motor vehicle includes a housing which defines an air guiding channel and a plurality of lamellae which are provided at their ends with bearing pins, the lamellae being pivotably attached thereby to the housing. The lamellae are mounted on opposing sides with one respective radial bearing and on just one side with one respective axial bearing.

An air vent includes a housing, an air guide surface, an air flow adjusting element, and a vane. The air guide surface at least partially defines an air duct configured to convey a volumetric flow of air through the housing so that the volumetric flow of air exits the air duct in a direction that at least partially defines an air discharge direction perceived outside of the air vent. The air flow adjusting element is moveable to vertically change the perceived air discharge direction, and the vane is movable to horizontally change the perceived air discharge direction. The vane is not visible to a user of the air vent when the air vent is viewed from an air outlet end of the housing.

A damper dial for a vehicle air vent has a dial body, a first dial bush, a second dial bush, an O-ring, and a dial fixture. A hinge hole is formed to penetrate a center portion of the dial body. A dial is formed on a front surface portion of the dial body. A hinge protrusion protrudes from one side surface of the first dial bush. A support pin extends from a distal end portion of the hinge protrusion. An insertion groove is inwardly formed on one surface of the second dial bush. An annular groove is formed outside the insertion groove. The O-ring installed so that an outer surface of the O-ring makes contact with one side surface of the dial body. An assembling hole is perforated and formed in the dial fixture.

A method of manufacturing a vane assembly for an air vent includes comprising molding an intermediate member in a molding die, the intermediate member having a head portion and a stem portion extending distally from the head portion, the stem portion defining a gate for the molding, the intermediate member being an unreinforced polymer material, subsequently molding a vane body over the stem portion of the intermediate member in the molding die, the vane body being a reinforced polymer material, and after molding the vane body over the stem portion of the intermediate member, securing a facia to the head portion of the intermediate member to form the vane assembly.

An antimicrobial, injection molded air register for use in an air distribution system to direct airflow from ductwork into a passenger cabin of a vehicle or into an enclosed space within a residential structure is provided. The air register includes a perforated cover configured to cover an outlet end of the ductwork and a plurality of injection molded components supported by the cover to direct air flow into the passenger cabin. Each of the components includes a surface layer in fluid communication with the airflow and is made of a molded material which absorbs airborne liquid droplets containing infectious, disease-causing pathogens moving with the airflow. The molded material includes antimicrobial agents disbursed throughout each of the surface layers to reduce the number of pathogens contained within droplets absorbed by the surface layers.

An air conditioning kit for vehicles, comprising: an auxiliary compressor, which can be powered with an energy source that is independent of the engine and which optionally coincides with the original battery of the vehicle, the auxiliary compressor being interposed between an intake branch and a delivery branch, a first connector, for the connection of the intake branch to the intake conduit, defined by the circuit, of the primary compressor, a second connector, for the connection of the delivery branch to the delivery conduit, defined by the circuit, of the primary compressor, an apparatus for intercepting at least a part of the lubricant that is usually dispersed in the heat carrier fluid, in order to prevent the complete emptying of lubricant in the primary compressor and/or in the auxiliary compressor.
