Air direction control means for vehicle climate control means

Air direction control means for vehicle climate control systems of the type having air ducts and doors for controlling the flow of air to an operator's compartment of the vehicle in conditions of air flow to dashboard vents, to a combined flow to the floor and defrost, and to defrost, said control means comprising:

• a mounting panel,
• a rotatable driver on said panel having a turning knob associated with climate designations depicted on said panel,
• at least two drive pins on said driver,
• at least two driven links pivotally supported on said panel,
• connecting means having opposite ends,
• one end of said connecting means being secured to said driven links and the opposite end being capable of securement to air duct doors of a vehicle that selectively control the flow of air in air ducts of a vehicle for flow to a dashboard vent of a vehicle, to floor and dashboard vent of a vehicle, to floor and defrost vents of a vehicle, and to a defrost vent of a vehicle,
• a slot means in each of said driven links engageable by respective ones of said drive pins providing selective driving pivotal movement of said diver links upon rotation of said turning knob between said climate designations.
