Abstract
An air outlet nozzle, in particular for a motor vehicle, includes: a tube-shaped nozzle body; a first air guide element which is arranged in the tube-shaped nozzle body, and which is in contact with the tube-shaped nozzle body and forms a screw shape; a second air guide element which is arranged in the tube-shaped nozzle body, and which is in contact with the tube-shaped nozzle body and forms a screw shape. The first air guide element and the second air guide element are offset from one another in the tube-shape nozzle body, such that a first airway and a second airway are formed in the tube-shaped nozzle body. A moving adjustment element closes the first airway in a first position, and releases the first airway in a second position.
Claims11
An air outlet nozzle for a motor vehicle, comprising:
- a tubular nozzle body;
- a first air guiding element arranged in the tubular nozzle body, said first air guiding element being in contact with the tubular nozzle body and forming a screw shape;
- a second air guiding element arranged in the tubular nozzle body, said second air guiding element being in contact with the tubular nozzle body and forming a screw shape;
- wherein the first air guiding element and the second air guiding element are arranged in the tubular nozzle body in a coaxial manner offset from one another, such that a first air path and second air path having different cross-sectional areas are formed in the tubular nozzle body;
- and
- a movable setting element which closes the first air path in a first position and opens the first air path in a second position, such that the first air path and the second air path are connectable to one another;
- wherein the first and second air guiding elements are connected at a common origin surface with a branching point upstream of the movable setting element, from which the first and second air guiding elements branch in a direction of air flow such that air from the second air path is directed into the first air path when the movable setting element is in the second position.
