Air vent for a vehicle

An air vent for a vehicle, the air vent comprising:

• a housing with a housing wall that delimits, at least regionally, an air duct for air flowing through the air vent along a main flow direction, wherein, in the air duct, there is provided at least one air-guiding slat, which is pivotable or rotatable relative to the housing wall about an axis of rotation, or a slat pack having a multiplicity of air-guiding slats, which are pivotable or rotatable relative to the housing wall about in each case one axis of rotation, such that, in the region of the at least one air-guiding slat or in the region of the slat pack, the air duct is subdivided into a multiplicity of sub-ducts, wherein there is additionally provided at least one lateral blocking element, which is displaceable, pivotable or rotatable relative to the at least one air-guiding slat or the slat pack and to the housing wall for blocking, as required, a sub-duct formed between the at least one air-guiding slat or an outer air-guiding slat of the slat pack and the housing wall;
• wherein the at least one blocking element is operatively coupled to the at least one air-guiding slat, or to the outer air-guiding slat of the slat pack, via a slotted guide;
• wherein the slotted guide has a first slot-shaped, web-shaped or groove-shaped control curve, into which a peg-shaped sliding block of the blocking element engages and is guided, when the at least one air-guiding slat or the air-guiding slats of the slat pack are pivoted or rotated relative to the housing wall, wherein the slotted guide is fixedly connected to the at least one air-guiding slat or to the outer slat of the slat pack such that the slotted guide pivots or rotates, with the at least one air-guiding slat or the outer slat, about the axis of rotation of the at least one air-guiding slat or the outer slat.

• wherein the at least one air-guiding slat or the air-guiding slats of the slat pack is/are adjustable between a straight-ahead position, in which the at least one air-guiding slat or the air-guiding slats of the slat pack is/are each oriented parallel to the main flow direction, and at least one extreme position, in which the at least one air-guiding slat or the air-guiding slats of the slat pack is/are deflected to a maximum extent relative to the main flow direction;
• wherein the at least one lateral blocking element is adjustable between a straight-ahead position, in which the lateral blocking element is oriented parallel to the main flow direction, and a blocking position, in which the lateral blocking element is pivoted into the sub-duct between the at least one air-guiding slat or the outer air-guiding slat of the slat pack and the housing wall;
• wherein the at least one lateral blocking element is designed to assume its blocking position only if the outer air-guiding slat, facing the at least one lateral blocking element, of the slat pack or the at least one air-guiding slat assumes its extreme position which is pivoted in a direction of the lateral blocking element.
