An air intake grille has an air flow guide member mounted on a housing in such a manner that the direction of air flow can be adjusted using a control member. The air flow guide member is constituted by a sheet assembly formed by laminating a multiplicity of perforated sheets. The sheet assembly is retained by retainers in such a manner that the sheets can slide so as to be stepwisely offset from each other. Further, the sheet assembly is mounted on the housing in such a manner as to be pivotal with respect to a fixed plane, which is the front surface of the housing, or a fixed plane parallel to the front surface. The air intake grille with the above arrangement enables the air flow guide member to be orientated to any desired direction in a single operation of the control member. Since the housing is not split into front and rear portions and the air flow guide member can be handled as an integrated sheet assembly, it is possible to reduce the time and labor required for manufacturing and assembling the air intake grille.
