Abstract
An air diffuser for an air distribution system comprising a first and a second border member. Plural spreaders interconnect the first and second border members thereby defining an airflow aperture therebetween. A pattern controller is slidably disposed between the plural spreaders for controlling the volume of airflow through the airflow aperture. The pattern controller is pivotable within the airflow aperture for controlling the direction of airflow through the airflow aperture.
Claims19
An air diffuser for an air distribution system, comprising:
- a first and a second border member;
- plural spreaders interconnecting said first and second border members thereby defining an airflow aperture therebetween;
- a first and a second pattern controller disposed between said plural spreaders;
- said first and second pattern controller being linearly movable toward and away from one another along said plural spreaders for controlling the volume of airflow through said airflow aperture;
- and
- said first and second pattern controller being rotatably movable relative to one another for controlling the direction of airflow through said airflow aperture.
