Abstract
An air vent is configured to discharge two separate volumetric flows of air in respectively different and intersecting discharge directions. A perceived air discharge direction is adjustable with no change to the intersecting discharge directions. A first volumetric flow of air exits the first air duct in a first direction, and a second volumetric flow of air exits the second air duct in a second direction that intersects the first direction so that the volumetric flows of air collide after exiting airducts of the air vent. A non-visible vane located along one of the air ducts is moveable to change the perceived air discharge direction.
Claims19
An air vent, comprising:
- a housing;
- a first air duct configured to convey a first volumetric flow of air through the housing so that the first volumetric flow of air exits the first air duct in a first direction;
- a second air duct configured to separately convey a second volumetric flow of air through the housing so that the second volumetric flow of air exits the second air duct in a second direction that intersects the first direction so that the volumetric flows of air collide after exiting the airducts;
- and
- a vane located along one of the air ducts, the vane being moveable to vertically change a perceived air discharge direction,
- wherein movement of the vane does not change the first or second direction in which each respective volumetric flow of air exits the respective air duct.
An air vent, comprising:
- air ducts configured to discharge two separate volumetric flows of air in respectively different and intersecting discharge directions;
- and
- a vane that is moveable to adjust a perceived air discharge direction with no change to the intersecting discharge directions,
- wherein the vane is not visible to a user of the air vent when the air vent is viewed from an air outlet end of the air vent.
