Adjustable steering-wheel ventilation

A steering wheel ventilation apparatus for a vehicle, the steering wheel ventilation apparatus comprising:

• a steering wheel;
• a ventilation device which is arranged behind the steering wheel and has a ventilation duct with a first outlet for discharging an air flow directly in a direction of a vehicle occupant seated in front of the steering wheel, and a second outlet for discharging a diffuse air flow, wherein
• the ventilation duct is configured to discharge an air flow selectively via the first outlet and/or the second outlet,
• the ventilation duct is divided into a first duct with the first outlet and a first flap for adjusting a flow cross section, and into a second duct with the second outlet and a second flap for adjusting a flow cross section,
• the first flap and the second flap are connected to one another via an acting mechanism such that the first flap and the second flap are adjustable only together at least partially,
• the acting mechanism is configured to assume a first position, in the case of which the first outlet is open completely via the first flap, whereas the second outlet is closed completely via the second flap,
• the acting mechanism is configured to assume a second position, in the case of which the first outlet is closed completely via the first flap, whereas the second outlet is closed partially via the second flap,
• the acting mechanism is configured to assume a third position, in the case of which the first outlet is closed partially via the first flap, whereas the second outlet is closed partially via the second flap,
• the second flap is configured, in addition to closing and opening the second outlet, to also close the first outlet completely, and
• the acting mechanism is configured to assume a fourth position, in the case of which the first outlet is closed completely via the second flap, whereas the second outlet is open completely via the second flap.
