Abstract
A room air conditioner includes a housing forming an air inlet and an air outlet, a blower for circulating air through the housing, and a heat exchanger for changing the air temperature as the air flows through the housing. An upper portion of the housing which possesses the air outlet is oscillatable about a vertical axis relative to a lower portion of the housing which possesses the air inlet. A drive mechanism oscillates the upper portion in response to the manual inputting of an oscillation signal to a controller. When the air conditioner is shut off, the upper portion is rotated by 180 degrees to expose a more attractive side of the upper portion to viewers in the room.
