Abstract
The outlet assembly (10) includes a barrel housing (16) pivotally supported along a horizontal axis. The barrel housing (16) supports a control housing (28) fixedly therein. The control housing (28) pivotally supports a plurality of louvers (34) therein. A link control plate (38) is operatively connected to the louvers (34) and slidable with respect to the control housing (28). The link plate (38) is moved outwardly to allow operation of the louvers (34) in parallel with one another, and is moved inwardly to spread the louvers (34) to cause diffusion of the air.
