Abstract
An air-conditioning register includes a cylinder-shaped retainer, a plurality of horizontal fins, a connecting rod, an actuating member, and a moving member. The cylinder-shaped retainer has opposite upper and lower walls and opposite side walls, which form an outlet opening and an air passage. The horizontal fins have a swing shaft, respectively, and are disposed pivotally about the swing shaft within the retainer. The connecting rod connects the horizontal fins. The actuating member actuates the connecting rod to swing the horizontal fins synchronously with each other. The moving member enables the swing shaft of at least one of the horizontal fins to move back and forth with respect to the retainer depending on a swing angle of the horizontal fins with respect to a horizontal plane.
