Air register

An air register comprising:

• a body having a front plate with a front surface, a rear surface, and at least one opening extending from the front surface to the rear surface;
• an upper air dam having an arcuate first central portion comprising a leading edge and a trailing edge, the arcuate central portion comprising an outer surface;
• a lower air dam having an arcuate second central portion a leading edge and a trailing edge, the arcuate second central portion comprising an outer surface;
• an upper air deflector comprising a first forward lip, a first rear edge and a bottom surface positioned immediately adjacent and in contact with the arcuate first central portion of the upper air dam;
• a lower air deflector comprising a second forward lip, a second rear edge and a top surface positioned immediately adjacent and in contact with the second central portion of the lower air dam;
• an air flow control mechanism operatively connected to the upper air dam or the lower air dam to rotate both the upper air dam and the lower air dam simultaneously;
• and,
• wherein the upper air dam and the lower air dam rotate in opposite directions upon operation of the air flow control mechanism from an open position to a closed position in which the first trailing edge and the second trailing edge are in direct contact with each other or overlap each other;
• and in which the first forward lip overlaps with the first rear edge and the second forward lip overlaps with the second rear edge.
