Abstract
A front defroster nozzle apparatus includes a retainer, and a guide fin. The retainer includes an inlet opening, an outlet port, and a retainer base. The retainer base is branched into two forked elements (i.e., first and second branches having a first outlet opening and a first inlet end and a second outlet opening and a second inlet end, respectively). The outlet port involving the first and second outlet openings has an outlet width of 400 mm or less that is larger than an opening width of the inlet opening. The first and second outlet openings have first and second opening widths being larger than first and second opening widths of the first and second inlet ends. The retainer base includes a throttled portion whose flow-passage cross-sectional area accounts for from 80% or less to 60% or more of a flow-passage cross-sectional area of the inlet opening.
