Abstract
An air flow control register includes a frame carrying pivotable vanes, which are rotated on parallel axes by a common drive mechanism, so that the setting of the vanes is variable between a maximum flow position, in which the flaps have a minimum inclination with respect to the direction of air flow through the register, and a no-flow position in which this inclination is a maximum. The drive mechanism controls the pivoting of the vanes in such a way that they all rotate by the same amount, with alternate vanes rotating in opposite directions.
