A low-profile air-conditioning register includes a retainer, an upstream fin, and downstream fins. The downstream fins include two facing first downstream fins extending in a longitudinal direction and two facing second downstream fins extending in the longitudinal direction of the first downstream fins on an upstream side of the first downstream fins. The low-profile air-conditioning register includes a downstream transmission mechanism. When one of the first downstream fins is tilted toward a tilt position, the downstream transmission mechanism holds, at a neutral position, an other one of the first downstream fins and one of the second downstream fins located at a diagonal position with respect to the other one of the first downstream fins and tilts, toward the tilt position, one of the second downstream fins located at a diagonal position with respect to the one of the first downstream fins.

Low-profile air-conditioning register

An air-conditioning register includes: a downstream fin; and an upstream fin. The downstream fin and the upstream fin are provided in a ventilation passage which allows air-conditioning air to flow. The downstream fin is rotatable around a center line of a first rotation shaft. The upstream fin is rotatable around a center line of a second rotation shaft further on an upstream side than the downstream fin in the ventilation passage. The second rotation shaft extends in a direction different from that of the first rotation shaft. The downstream fin is slidable in a center line direction of the first rotation shaft and has a driving unit which presses the upstream fin in a slide movement direction as the downstream fin slides.

Air-conditioning register

An air conditioning register includes: a downstream side fin; an upstream side fin; an operation knob; and a fork including a pair of transmission pieces, and connected to the operation knob. A transmission shaft is provided in the upstream side fin, and is interposed between the pair of transmission pieces. The transmission shaft is provided with a stopper that regulates further displacement of the fork. A surface of the stopper is an inclined surface that is inclined with respect to a center axis of the transmission shaft so as to be located outside in a radial direction centering on the center axis of the transmission shaft as approaching an end of the transmission shaft. An inclination angle of the inclined surface with respect to the center axis of the transmission shaft is an angle equal to or greater than 9&#xb0; and equal to or less than 14&#xb0;.

Air conditioning register

An air-conditioning register fin includes an elongated plate-shaped fin main body and an elongated decorative member attached to one of edges of the fin main body in a transverse direction. One of the fin main body and the decorative member includes an engagement projection. The other one of the fin main body and the decorative member includes a recess that accommodates the engagement projection and an engagement hook projecting from an inner surface of the recess. The engagement hook holds and engages the engagement projection.

Air-conditioning register fin

An air-conditioning register includes a tubular retainer including a wall and a downstream opening, fins that are located adjacent to the downstream opening in the retainer and arranged parallel to one another so as to be tiltable relative to the retainer, and an operation knob mounted to a central fin. Each of the fins includes two rotation shafts at opposite ends of the fin. The wall of the retainer includes bearing holes, each supporting one of the rotation shafts of the corresponding fin. The overlap between the rotation shaft of one of the fins that is free of the knob and the inner surface defining the corresponding bearing hole is smaller than the overlap between the rotation shaft of the fin to which the knob is mounted and the inner surface defining the corresponding bearing hole.

First and second upstream fins and first and second downstream fins are arranged in the air passage of air-conditioning air to pivot. The first upstream fin includes an upstream body with a cutout extending upstream from the downstream edge. A transmission shaft, which extends along upstream fin shafts, is arranged in the cutout. The first downstream fin includes a downstream body with a slidable operation knob. The operation knob includes a fork that is rotationally supported with a support shaft. The fork includes a pair of transmission pieces, which extends upstream from the operation knob and sandwiches the transmission shaft. The transmission shaft includes a pair of stoppers, which is located at positions that are spaced from each other in the extending direction of the transmission shaft and that sandwich the transmission pieces. The stoppers are caused to contact the transmission pieces by operation of the operation knob.

An air conditioning register includes a retainer having an elongated opening, a first fin, and a plurality of second fins. The first fin is arranged along long sides of the opening at a downstream position in the retainer. The second fins are arranged along short sides at an upstream position in the retainer. The retainer includes a pair of facing inner wall surfaces corresponding to the long sides of the opening. First inclined surfaces that are continuous with the long sides of the opening and second inclined surfaces that are continuous with the first inclined surfaces through ridges are each formed in the corresponding inner wall surface of the retainer.

A register includes a retainer, and a fin assembly. The retainer has an outlet opening. The fin assembly includes a plurality of fin members. The fin members are disposed in the retainer in a manner neighboring one after another. One of the neighboring paired fin members has a first end. The other one of the neighboring paired fin members has a second end facing the first end when the fin members swing to the close position. The register further includes an air deflector disposed between the first end and the second end, whereby deflecting the blowing direction of air flowing out from the outlet opening of the retainer outward when the fin members swing to the close position.
