Abstract
A nozzle for an air conditioning vent is disclosed. Specifically, the nozzle is a tube composed of a flexible material to allow the airflow from the nozzle outlet to be adjusted to flow in a desired direction. The nozzle includes an adjustment element to allow a user to adjust and set the output direction of the nozzle. The adjustment element attaches to each end of the nozzle and can be elongated or shortened as needed to achieve the desired output angle. The nozzle can further include reinforcements to help stabilize and maintain the opening throughout the nozzle. Additionally, the nozzle can include an airflow regulator that is configured to achieve a desired cross-sectional area of the nozzle outlet.

A nozzle for air ducts, said nozzle comprising
- a tube made of fabric or foil, the tube having, at an inlet end, an inlet opening for intake of air from an air duct, and, at an outlet end, an outlet opening for outlet of air, wherein the nozzle is provided with a proximal circumferential annular ring and a distal circumferential annular ring which are spaced apart and arranged on an external side of the nozzle,
- and an adjustment device for adjusting a direction of air exiting the nozzle, wherein the adjustment device comprises an adjustment element, a pair of fastening elements,
- wherein each of the fastening elements are attached to the adjustment element and comprise a fastening part, which comprises a saddle part and two arms extending from said saddle part and wherein the fastening part is configured to removably mount the fastening element to the circumferential annular ring by inserting the circumferential annular ring between the pair of arms of the fastening part,
- wherein the adjustment element has an adjustable length for adjusting and locking a degree of tilt of the outlet opening of the nozzle with respect to the inlet opening of the nozzle by adjusting the length of the adjustment element between the fastening elements, when one of the fastening elements is mounted to the proximal circumferential annular ring, and the other of the fastening elements is mounted to the distal circumferential annular ring.
