Abstract
An air-conditioning register includes a rotation direction changing mechanism, which changes the rotation direction of an operation knob and transmits the rotation to a shut-off damper to tilt the shut-off damper about damper pivots. The rotation direction changing mechanism includes arm portions and a cam member. Each arm portion includes a sliding end portion at the distal end, which moves along an arcuate passage having a center that coincides with the damper pivots in accordance with the tilting motion. A cam groove of the cam member includes sliding regions, along which the sliding end portions slide when the shut-off damper is tilted. Each sliding region includes free running regions on its opposite ends. The moving amount of the sliding end portions along the arcuate passage in the free running regions is less than that in an intermediate region when the cam member is rotated by a certain angle.
