Air register assembly

A vehicle air register assembly, comprising:

• a housing defining a cavity, wherein an upstream portion of the cavity is disposed proximate to an inlet and a downstream portion of the cavity is disposed proximate to an outlet;
• vertical vanes disposed within the upstream portion, wherein the vertical vanes direct air in a horizontal direction;
• and
• a horizontal vane assembly disposed within the downstream portion, wherein the horizontal vane assembly directs the air in a vertical direction, wherein the horizontal vane assembly includes a first horizontal vane and a second horizontal vane each including:
• a driver portion rotatably coupled to the housing proximate to the outlet, the driver portion having a convex surface and a concave surface;
• and
• a follower portion coupled to the housing proximate to the upstream portion, the follower portion having a convex surface and a concave surface, wherein the follower portion is rotatably coupled to the driver portion, and wherein the convex surfaces of the driver portion and the follower portion of the first horizontal vane are each oriented toward the second horizontal vane.

An air register assembly for a vehicle, comprising:

• a housing defining an interior, wherein the housing defines an inlet and an outlet in fluid communication with the interior;
• a first linked vane coupled to the housing, wherein the first linked vane includes:
• a first driver portion rotatably coupled to the housing proximate to the outlet;
• and
• a first follower portion rotatably coupled to the first driver portion;
• a second linked vane coupled to the housing, wherein the second linked vane includes:
• a second driver portion rotatably coupled to the housing proximate to the outlet;
• and
• a second follower portion rotatably coupled to the second driver portion, wherein the first driver portion and the first follower portion are convex relative to the second driver portion and the second follower portion, and wherein the second driver portion and the second follower portion are convex relative to the first driver portion and the first follower portion;
• and
• at least one link feature coupled to the first linked vane and the second linked vane, wherein the at least one link feature is adjusted to adjust the first linked vane and the second linked vane to direct airflow through said air register assembly.
