An air vent assembly for a vehicle interior component configured to provide air flow at an outlet from a ventilation system may comprise a housing providing an air flow passage, a cover, a vane assembly to adjust air flow direction at an outlet, a valve assembly to adjust air flow volume from an inlet, a shaft within the passage and an adjuster to adjust air flow direction and/or volume. The vane assembly may comprise a set of vanes to rotate at a ball joint or universal joint to adjust air flow direction. The shaft may be coupled to the valve assembly by a gear mechanism to adjust air flow volume. The assembly may comprise a light module to provide illumination at the outlet. The light source may illuminate a light-transmissive element within the cover. The vane assembly may comprise the light transmissive element.

A personal service unit (PSU) includes a housing, a dial, and a flow control ring. The dial is rotatable about the housing. The housing includes a longitudinal axis therethrough and a first end and a second end opposite the first end. The dial includes a helical first portion along an interior wall of the dial. The flow control ring includes a helical second portion along an exterior wall of the flow control ring. The helical second portion rotatably mates with the helical first portion and rotation of the dial in a first direction moves the flow control ring in a first direction along the longitudinal axis to cause a first adjustment in airflow past the flow control ring and rotation of the flow control ring in an opposite direction moves the flow control ring in an opposite direction to cause a second adjustment in airflow past the flow control ring.

An air vent for introducing air into a motor vehicle interior includes an inlet opening, through which an incoming air flow enters the air vent, an outlet opening, through which an air flow exits the air vent, and an adjuster, which is fluidically and operatively connected to the inlet opening and the outlet opening. The adjuster has at least one entry, which is fluidically and operatively connected to the inlet opening. The adjuster has at least two exits, which are spaced apart from each other and from each of which an open air stream exits into the outlet opening. The adjuster is designed to align the open air streams to a focal point and the adjuster is designed to be located outside of a field of view of the motor vehicle interior.

An air vent for a motor vehicle includes a housing with an air channel for feeding air and a partial hemisphere shell. The partial hemisphere shell is mounted in a rotatable manner within the housing such that air fed through the air channel is deflected on the housing before it exits from the air vent.

A cage that can be rotated about a longitudinal axis and has a lattice tube shape is disposed in a tubular air channel of an air vent, serving as a carrier of an air guide device and an air volume control device.

An air vent for a vehicle includes a housing (10) and an air-guiding element (30), wherein the air-guiding element (30) is mounted in the housing (10) so as to be pivotable in different directions about at least one centre of rotation (D), wherein a first drive element acts on the air-guiding element (30) at a first engagement point (A.sub.1), and a second drive element acts on the air-guiding element (30) at a second engagement point (A.sub.2), wherein the second engagement point (A.sub.2) defines, with the at least one centre of rotation (D) of the air-guiding element (30), a first pivot axis (S1) about which the first drive element pivots the air-guiding element (30), and wherein the first engagement point (A.sub.1) defines, with the at least one centre of rotation (D) of the air-guiding element (30), a second pivot axis (S.sub.2) about which the second drive element pivots the air-guiding element (30).

An air vent for a motor vehicle includes a housing having an insert rotationally and/or pivotably supported in the housing about a bearing system with at least one assembly for guiding and/or deflecting a supplied air flow, and an element arranged centrally in the insert. The element is connected to the assembly for guiding and/or deflecting a supplied air flow. The bearing system is arranged on the central longitudinal axis of the housing and is carried out by a bearing. An optical fiber is accommodated in the bearing. For the at least regional lighting of the air vent, at least one light source is arranged in the housing on the central longitudinal axis upstream of the bearing system, such that the light emitted by the at least one light source is at least partially couplable, as needed, into the first optical fiber via a photometric coupling in the bearing.

An air discharger for discharging an air stream, in particular in a vehicle interior, includes at least one air guide channel and at least one air routing element disposed therein. The routing element being designed as a vane wheel having at least one vane, wherein each of the vanes is formed from at least two segments disposed in succession axially. The segments being able to move at least relative to one another angularly between a position that brings about a “diffuse” mode and a position that brings about a “total air” mode by way of an axially adjustable variable flow cross section of the air guide channel.

The invention concerns a ventilator for a motor vehicle passenger compartment, intended to deliver an air flow towards a space to be conditioned, which comprises: an opening through which an air flow flows during operation, a flared guiding surface (S), extending from the opening, a needle valve (25) comprising a needle valve head (27) with: a tip (29) situated at the end of the needle valve (25), a maximum width portion corresponding in shape to the opening (O), with dimensions of between 80% and 100% of those of the opening (O), a base (33) flared in the direction of flow linking the head (29) to an elongate body (31), the needle valve (25) being able to move in translation between two end positions including: a deployed end position in which the widest portion of the needle valve head (27) is downstream from the opening (O) in the direction of the space to be conditioned, the air flow then being laminar and guided by the guiding surface (S) in a divergent flow, a retracted end position in which the widest portion of the needle valve head (27) is upstream from the opening (O), the air flow then being laminar and guided by the tip (29) of the needle valve (25) in a convergent flow.

A direction controlled service apparatus may include a mounting assembly, a housing assembly configured to operably connect to the mounting assembly, the housing assembly being movable with respect to the mounting assembly, and a plurality of actuators connected between the mounting assembly and the housing assembly, each actuator of the plurality of actuators being configured to contract upon a current being applied to the actuator to rotate the housing assembly with respect to the mounting assembly.
