Abstract

So as to guide an air current flowing out of an air vent for a motor vehicle, an air deflection element, which can be moved transversely in an air channel of the air vent, is disposed upstream of an air guide body in a flow direction, which includes air passages, for which the air deflection element includes congruent windows.

Claims (15)

1. An air vent comprising:

an air channel that narrows toward an air outlet opening:

an air guide body, which is disposed in the air channel and has an outline area, as seen in a flow direction, that is smaller than an inner cross-section of the air channel at a location at which the air guide body is disposed, so that air flowing through the air channel flows around the air guide body; and

an air deflection element, having an outline area, as seen in the flow direction, that is smaller than an inner cross-section of the air channel at a location at which the air deflection element is disposed, and wherein the air deflection element is movable transversely to the flow direction and located at a location in which the air channel narrows,

wherein the air guide body includes at least one air passage extending in the flow direction, and the at least one air passage through the air guide body and a space between the air guide body and an inner wall of the air channel are configured to be opened or closed in regions by moving the air deflection element transversely to the flow direction through the air channel, and

wherein the air deflection element includes a window, which is configured to be aligned with, or brought out of alignment with, the at least one air passage of the air guide body by moving the air deflection element transversely to the flow direction.

2. The air vent according to claim 1 , wherein the at least one air passage includes a plurality of air passages, and the air deflection element includes a plurality of windows, which are configured to be aligned with the plurality of air passages by moving the air deflection element transversely to the flow direction.

3. The air vent according to claim 1 , wherein the air channel narrows toward the air outlet opening, and the air deflection element is configured to be moved in the air channel in a two-dimensional manner transversely to the flow direction.

4. The air vent according to claim 1 , wherein the air deflection element is disposed on an upstream side of the air guide body.

5. An air vent comprising:

an air channel that narrows toward an air outlet opening;

an air guide body, which is disposed in the air channel and has an outline area, as seen in a flow direction, that is smaller than an inner cross-section of the air channel at a location at which the air guide body is disposed, so that air flowing through the air channel flows around the air guide body; and

an air deflection element, having an outline area, as seen in the flow direction, that is smaller than an inner cross-section of the air channel at a location at which the air deflection element is disposed, and wherein the air deflection element is movable transversely to the flow direction and located at a location in which the air channel narrows,

wherein the air guide body includes at least one air passage extending in the flow direction, and the at least one air passage through the air guide body and a space between the air guide body and an inner wall of the air channel are configured to be opened or closed in regions by moving the air deflection element transversely to the flow direction through the air channel, and

wherein the air channel narrows toward the air outlet opening, and the air deflection element is configured to be moved in the air channel in a two-dimensional manner transversely to the flow direction.
