Structure of air outlet ar automobile

Abstract

Abstract PURPOSE:To provide a suitable blade movement initial load and to prevent an adverse effect of thermal deformation on the initial load by alternatingly disposing the blade supporting part and/or pivotable joint of a connecting rod in an eccentric position. CONSTITUTION:When all blades 3 are connected to a connecting rod 7, flanges 4a, 4b and shafts 3a, 3b of the blades 3 are alternatingly displaced in the vertical direction by a dimension (a). The shafts 3a, 3b are inserted to the fixing holes 2a, 2b in the upper and lower inner walls of an air outlet casing 2 to complete an air outlet 1. Due to the displacement of the connecting rod 7 by the dimension (a), a flexing by the elastic deformation is generated, which presses the flanges 4a, 4b alternatingly in the vertical direction to the upper or lower inner wall. Therefore, an appropriate contact pressure is generated between the flanges 4a, 4b and the upper and lower inner walls of the casing 2, or between the blades 3 and the connecting rod 7, which creates the blade movement initial load when the blades 3 are operated, and hold the blades 3 in a desired position when the blades 3 are not operated.
