Abstract
Wind deflecting plates of an air conditioning grille include flexible plates are made of a thermoplastic material, so that they may bend to smoothly change the direction of wind when the deflecting plates are swung, and front and rear supports for the flexible plates. The material for the front and rear supports is of the same type as the material for the flexible plate and has a melting point close to that of the flexible plate but a hardness and stiffness different from the material of the flexible plate. The supports support the associated flexible plate at the windward and leeward ends thereof, respectively, and urge the flexible plate when bent to return to the flat state. At the end surface facing a blower rotor, the rear support has an arc portion having a shape corresponding to the outer surface of the rotor.
