The vent apparatus includes: a transfer duct located inside an upper surface of an interior of a vehicle; a vent located at a portion of the transfer duct; a variable guide located adjacent to the vent; and a driver located at a first end of the variable guide, and configured to apply a driving force to the variable guide and insert the variable guide into a trim, and to change a shape of the variable guide based on the driving force such that a direction of air discharged through the vent is controlled.

A vehicle system includes a floor. A dashboard is positioned vehicle-upward of the floor. A plurality of seating assemblies are coupled to the floor and are arranged into a first row and a second row. A base is coupled to the floor and comprises a trough that extends vehicle-rearward from a forward end to a rearward end. A storage console is coupled to the base and is operable to slide within the trough between a forward position that is proximate to the forward end, a rearward position that is proximate to the rearward end, and an intermediate position there between.

Recreational vehicles are provided with a tapered duct connector and/or a conditioned air receiving sleeve that is positioned in an infra-ceiling space of the vehicle. The tapered duct connector comprises a connector inlet coupled to a conditioned air passage on a wall of the conditioned air receiving sleeve, and a connector outlet coupled to the supply duct, to fluidly couple the sleeve to the supply duct. The tapered duct connector comprises a transitional duct height that increases from the connector outlet to the connector inlet. The conditioned air passage of the conditioned air receiving sleeve, the tapered duct connector, and the supply duct is contained such that air can pass from the conditioned air opening of the conditioned air receiving sleeve, through the conditioned air receiving sleeve, and into the supply duct without contacting structural components in the infra-ceiling space of the recreational vehicle.

A vehicle has an automatically tiltable seat, a plurality of seat actuators fully supporting the automatically-tiltable seat to enable the automatically tiltable seat to pitch or roll to compensate for motion of the vehicle, and a processor to predict the motion of the vehicle and to control the plurality of seat actuators. The plurality of seat actuators automatically adjust the pitch or roll of the automatically tiltable seat in response to the motion of the vehicle. The seat actuators also provide shock absorption.

A seat air-conditioning device includes a seat pad, a back lid and a blower. The back lid covers an opening side of a ventilation groove of the seat pad. The blower generates an airflow in a ventilation passage which is defined by the ventilation groove and the back lid. The back lid has a communication port that is formed at an opposing region of the back lid, which is opposed to the blower. The communication port is configured to conduct the airflow generated by the blower. The seat pad has a plurality of support portions that contact the back lid and are formed at an overlapping region of the seat pad which overlaps with the opposing region in a thickness direction of the seat pad. The support portions are circumferentially arranged one after another around the communication port.

An air vent (10) such as a flat or joint vent has an adjustable air-outflow direction (9) to direct an airstream. An air-deflection area (4) between the air inlet opening (2) and the air outlet opening (3) sets the air-outflow direction (9) at the air outlet opening (3). At least one regulation means (7) in the air-deflection area (4) is arranged in the flow channel (1) in order to influence the geometry of the flow channel. The at least one regulation means (7) is essentially tubular and elastically deformable. The at least one regulation means (7) splits the airstream (15) into partial streams (21) that flow through the regulation means (7).

The present disclosure provides a system for controlling a temperature of a computer disposed in an enclosed compartment of a vehicle. The system includes at least one temperature sensor associated with the computer, the at least one temperature sensor for providing temperature data in connection with the computer to a control module; at least one air vent provided in a surface of the enclosed compartment, wherein the at least one air vent is positioned to direct air flow to a designated area of the computer; an air conditioning system for generating air at an air temperature specified by the control module based at least in part on the temperature data provided by the at least one temperature sensor; and at least one duct for conducting the air generated by the air conditioning system into the enclosed compartment via the at least one vent.

Various disclosed embodiments include illustrative door assemblies, vehicles, and methods of assembling door assemblies. In an illustrative embodiment, a seat includes a base section, a back section, a first section of duct, and one or more vents couplable to the first section of duct. The first section of duct is configured to receive air from an air supply source and the first section of duct is disposed at least partially within the base section. The one or more vents are disposed at an aft surface of a section chosen from the base section and the back section.

A diffusing vent assembly may include a diffuser base and a diffusing head. The diffuser base may include a mounting flange, a collar extending from the mounting flange, and a ductwork fixation channel. The collar may span an infra-ceiling space of a vehicle. The diffusing head may include a diffuser vane configuration, a rotational flange surrounding the diffuser vane configuration, and an air blade. The diffuser base and the diffusing head further comprise complementary rotational securement members that permit rotation of the diffusing head relative to the diffuser base. The air blade may extend through the collar of the diffuser base. Installing the diffusing vent assembly may include engaging the ductwork fixation channel with a supply duct, inserting the diffusing head into the diffuser base, and securing the diffusing head and the diffuser base using the complimentary rotational securement members.

The invention relates to a headliner system for a motor vehicle, said headliner system comprising at least one air supply connection for connecting the headliner system to an air conditioning and ventilation system of the motor vehicle, and at least one outflow device which is fluidically connected to the at least one air supply connection, wherein at least one outflow device has at least two outflow segments, wherein one outflow segment is designed to deliver a designated air volume flow to the passenger compartment, wherein a first outflow segment surrounds a second outflow segment at least in part, and wherein at least one outflow device is designed such that it can be displaced in at least one axis of the outflow device.
