A bearing arrangement has a bearing pin and a coupling pin, and a second bearing component, which components are mounted on a wall so as to be rotatable about a common axis of rotation. The bearing pin extends along, and the coupling pin extends eccentrically to the axis of rotation. The bearing pin is accommodated in a bearing opening of the wall. The coupling pin is accommodated in a guide slot of the wall and projects from the guide slot. The second bearing component has a first opening, in which the bearing pin is accommodated, and a second opening arranged eccentrically to the first opening, in which second opening the coupling pin is accommodated. The bearing pin is connected to the second bearing component via a lock, and the second bearing component is supported on the coupling pin.

A device for manipulating an actuator (1) of an air vent (2), wherein, for generating as required an adjustment movement acting on the actuator (1), the device has a preferably manually actuable actuating element (3) and a drive mechanism (6) with a motor drive (7). The drive mechanism (6) is assigned a resetting mechanism which is designed to make an adjustment movement, brought about previously by the drive (7), of the actuator (1) relative to the housing (10) of the air vent (2) reversible again, if required, such that the actuator (1) is then again in a position relative to the housing (10) of the air vent (2) that was set previously by actuation of the actuating element (3).

An outlet device is provided. In operation, the outlet device generates an outlet flow and includes: a housing with an inner surface forming a channel which extends between an air inlet orifice and an air outlet orifice, a first air-directing surface which together with a first inner surface section forms a first air channel, a second air-directing surface which lies contrary to the first air-directing surface and which together with a second inner surface section forms a second air channel, a first flap which is pivotable around a first adjustment axis which runs transversely the housing centerline and a second flap which is pivotable around a second adjustment axis which runs transversely the housing centerline, an adjustment device which comprises a control device and a coupling device, wherein the coupling device is actuatable by the control device and couples the pivoting motions of the first flap and the second flap.

An air vent for an automobile comprises a duct in which a passage having an air inlet and an air outlet communicating with each other is formed; a duct cover fixed to a front surface of the duct; a knob mount fixed to a front surface of the duct cover; a knob installed in the knob mount and configured to be laterally movable; a nozzle installed in a direction of the air outlet of the duct and configured to be vertically rotatable; a front vane connected to the nozzle and configured to be laterally rotatable; a damper plate having one side end portion connected to the nozzle and an other side end portion to be moved along a guide groove formed in the duct; and a damper configured to be rotatable to open or close the passage.

An air vent for ventilating a passenger compartment of a motor vehicle. The air vent includes an air channel, which is divided, by an air splitter, into two partial air channels, which can be steplessly partially or completely blocked for air passing through, by blocking elements, which are pivotably mounted at the air splitter. The blocking elements may be displaced by way of a ram, which can be moved in the air splitter transversely to the air channel. Either one or the other blocking element can be selectively displaced by way of the ram. The respective other blocking element, in an open position, then rests against the outside of the air splitter.

An outlet assembly having a plurality of different operating modes for improving air flow in an air distribution system is provided. The assembly includes a first blocking element supported by a first wall of a housing for movement between blocking and unblocking positions within a cavity of the housing. The first blocking element prevents a first layer of air from flowing immediately adjacent the first wall in its blocking position. A second blocking element is supported by a second wall of the housing for movement between blocking and unblocking positions within the cavity. The second blocking element prevents a second layer of air from flowing immediately adjacent the second wall in its blocking position. An actuator subassembly including a selector member is supported for movement between a plurality of predefined positions which correspond to first and second blocking modes and a nominal unblocking mode.

A coupling rod for manipulating air guiding louvers of a louver assembly which are used in an air vent for vehicles. The coupling rod has a multiplicity of bearing regions, each bearing region being configured to receive a bearing shaft (bearing journal, bearing pin, etc) which is assigned to one of the air guiding louvers in such a way that, in the case of a movement of the coupling rod in an adjusting direction relative to the air guiding louvers, the corresponding bearing shaft which is received in the bearing region is suitably guided.

An air-conditioning register includes: a movable fin; an operation knob; and a transmission mechanism. A load generating mechanism is provided in a middle of a force transmission path in the transmission mechanism. The load generating mechanism includes a pressure receiving portion, a pressing member, and a spring. The pressure receiving portion has a pressure receiving surface. The pressing member rotates with respect to the pressure receiving portion as the operation knob rotates. The spring generates a load between the pressing member and the pressure receiving portion by urging the pressing member toward a side approaching the pressure receiving surface and pressing the pressing member against the pressure receiving surface. The pressing member and the pressure receiving portion are each formed of a hard resin material, and the pressing member is directly in contact with the pressure receiving surface to generate the load.

An air vent control system comprises a directional air flow component mounted on a first axis within a first housing, and a second housing defining an inner space in which the first housing is mounted. A first motor moves the directional air flow component to an angular position within the first housing, and a second motor pivots the first housing contained within the second housing. A front and rear opening allows air flow in a direction from the rear opening to the front opening. A controller sets the angular position of the directional air flow component on the first axis, and the angular position of the first housing on the second axis. The respective positions of the directional air flow component relative to the first housing and the first housing relative to the second housing selectively regulate the direction of airflow discharged.
