Abstract
In an air conditioner, at least one up-down wind direction board rotates in an up-down direction around almost horizontal rotation axis within an air outlet, and a plurality of lateral wind direction boards rotating laterally are provided around rotation axes as the center which are almost orthogonal to the rotation axis of said up-down wind direction board. Also a diffuser constituting a part of the air outlet is provided rotationally around an almost horizontal rotation axis as the center at the lower portion of the air outlet. A motor for driving the up-down wind direction board is provided at the side of one side wall portion of the air outlet. The up-down wind direction board is set by said motor to any arbitrary angle of tilt between the initial stop position closing said air outlet and maximum open position almost vertically downward. When the said up-down wind direction board is in a range from the position of a particular angle of tilt to said maximum open position between said up-down wind direction board and said diffuser, a drive force transmitting device provided is capable of transmitting the movement of said up-down wind direction board to said diffuser thereby permitting the driving of both the up-down wind direction board and diffuser by a single motor.
