Abstract
A plurality of adjustable louver assemblies are provided for a room air conditioner. Each louver assembly has a box-like housing which receives a plurality of horizontal and vertical louvers. Each set of horizontal and vertical louvers are linked so as to move in tandem An actuator wheel is rotatably attached to the housing and is engaged with one of the louvers of the upstream set of louvers such that rotation of the actuator will result in pivoting of the louvers. At least one of the sets of louvers is completely pivotable to a closed position so as to eject air more forcefully from the remaining open louver assemblies of the air conditioner.
