Air register

A register to be mounted in a vent opening of a wall, floor, or ceiling for regulating the passage of air, comprising a grill including a plate having grill openings for directing the passage of air therethrough, a frame connected to the bottom of the grill, at least one damper for regulating the air flow through the register, a pivotal connection connecting said dampers to said frame to allow pivotal movement there between, a biasing mechanism for biasing said damper toward said frame, and a control mechanism for moving said damper between an open position permitting air to flow through said register and a closed position wherein air is inhibited from flowing through said register, said control mechanism including a handle portion and a control bar, said control bar and said handle portion being located on opposite sides of an end wall of said frame, and said biasing mechanism being pivotally connected to said damper.

A register to be mounted in a vent opening of a wall, floor, or ceiling for regulating the passage of air, comprising a grill including a plate, having vanes for directing the passage of air therethrough, a frame connected to the bottom of the grill, at least one damper for regulating the air flow through the register, said damper being pivotally connected to said frame to allow pivotal movement therebetween, and a control mechanism for moving said damper between an open position permitting air to flow through said register, and a closed position wherein air is inhibited from flowing through said register, said control mechanism including a lever and a control bar for translating movement from said lever to said damper, said control bar having a butterfly aperture, said lever being pivotally connected to said control bar at said butterfly aperture, and the configuration of said butterfly aperture limiting movement of said lever.

A register to be mounted in a vent opening of a wall, floor, or ceiling for regulating the passage of air, comprising a grill including a plate, having vanes for directing the passage of air therethrough, a frame connected to the bottom of the grill, at least one damper for regulating the air flow through the register, a pivotal connection connecting said damper to said frame to allow pivotal movement therebetween, a biasing mechanism for urging said damper towards said frame, and a control mechanism for moving said damper between an open position permitting air to flow through said register, and a closed position wherein air is inhibited from flowing through said register, said control mechanism including a lever with a handle portion and a control bar, said control bar and said handle portion being located on opposite sides of an end wall of said frame, said biasing mechanism including at least one spring member mounted on said control bar, said spring mechanism bearing against an extension portion of said damper, and said spring mechanism having a finger received in an aperture of said extension portion.
