Abstract
A vehicle including a passenger cabin and a vent assembly is a disclosed. The vent assembly includes a duct for carrying an airflow and having an outlet through which the airflow is discharged into the passenger cabin; a deflector located within the duct, the deflector having a convex surface across which the airflow passes; and a valve extending around at least part of the convex surface for restricting the direction of the airflow across the convex surface. The airflow is discharged through the outlet in a direction defined by the direction of the airflow across the convex surface; and the valve is rotatable to vary the direction of the airflow across the convex surface.
