Abstract
A vent register includes a set of vanes and a mechanical assembly. Each vane is pivotably affixed to a respective stationary point to be rotatable about the stationary point. The mechanical assembly interconnects the vanes so that all of the vanes rotate together in response to one of the vanes being actuated to rotate. At least one of the vanes has an orientation different than at least another one of the vanes such that the at least one of the vanes and the at least another one of the vanes point in different directions as the vanes are rotated.

A vent register comprising:
- a set of vanes, each vane being pivotably affixed to a respective stationary point to be rotatable about the stationary point;
- and
- a mechanical assembly interconnecting the vanes so that all of the vanes rotate together in response to one of the vanes being actuated to rotate;
- and
- wherein at least one of the vanes has an orientation different than at least another one of the vanes such that the at least one of the vanes and the at least another one of the vanes point in different directions as the vanes are rotated.
A vent register comprising:
- a set of horizontally extending vanes that are movable vertically upward and leftward;
- a set of vertically extending vanes that are movable horizontally rightward and leftward;
- and
- a mechanical assembly interconnecting the vertically extending vanes so that the vertically extending vanes move horizontally rightward and leftward together;
- and
- wherein at least one of the vertically extending vanes and another one of the vertically extending vanes point in different directions as the vertically extending vanes move horizontally together.
