Abstract
A ventilation system for the interior of a vehicle includes a housing comprising an air inlet; a first air outlet; and a second air outlet, which is arranged directly in front of the first air outlet; and a swivel flap arranged in the area of the air outlets. The second air outlet is arranged in a plane that is oriented at a right angle with respect to the plane of the first air outlet. For achieving an air deflection with a simultaneous air distribution within a narrow space, the housing has a third air outlet which is situated in a plane orthogonal to the planes of the other air outlets.
Claims16
A ventilation system for the interior of a vehicle comprising a housing, said housing comprising:
- an air inlet;
- a first air outlet;
- a second air outlet directly in front of the first air outlet, wherein said second air outlet is in a plane that is at a right angle to the plane of the first air outlet;
- a third air outlet in a plane orthogonal to the planes of the first and the second air outlets;
- and
- a swivel flap;
- wherein, in a first swivelling end position of the swivel flap, the swivel flap partially covers the opening cross-section of the first air outlet and its swivelling end points toward the air inlet, thereby deflecting a portion of air that flows from the air inlet to the first air outlet toward the second and third air outlets.
