Claim 3

An air distributor according to claim 1, characterized in that the vehicle is a bus.

Claim 4

An air distributor according to claim 1, characterized in that two circular disk means provided with slats are arranged adjacent one another on a single support plate means.

Claim 5

An air distributor according to claim 3, characterized in that the pivotability of each circular disk means is limited to a predetermined range by a stop means.

Claim 6

An air distributor according to claim 4, characterized in that the stop means is adjustable.

Claim 7

An air distributor according to claim 1, characterized in that the pivotability of each circular disk means is limited to a predetermined range by a stop means.

Claim 8

Claim 9

A fluid distributor arrangement comprising: channel means for conveying the fluid to be distributed, passage means for distributing said conveyed fluid including at least one disk means provided on said channel means at an opening thereof, a plurality of slat means pivotally mounted in said disk means for directing the flow of said distributed fluid, means for operatively interconnecting said plurality of slat means for movement in unison, means for rotatably mounting said disk means on said channel means, means for pivoting said slat means and for rotating said disk means independently of one another to control the direction and quantity of the distributed fluid, said means for rotatably mounting said disk means including flange means disposed on said channel means at the opening thereof, a support plate means for rotatably supporting said disk means, and web portions for connecting said flange means with the periphery of said support plate means, said flange means including an outer end portion for fastening the fluid distributor arrangement at the opening of said channel means and a wall portion extending from said outer end portion into said channel means, and wherein additional fluid slot means defined between the wall portion of said flange means, said support plate means and said web means are provided in said channel means for directing at least a portion of the distributed fluid in predetermined directions substantially parallel to the exterior of said channel means.

Claim 10

A fluid distributor arrangement comprising: channel means for conveying the fluid to be distributed, passage means for distributing said conveyed fluid including at least one disk means provided on said channel means at an opening thereof, a plurality of slat means pivotally mounted in said disk means for directing the flow of said distributed fluid, means for operatively interconnecting said plurality of slat means for movement in unison, means for rotatably mounting said disk means on said channel means, means for pivoting said slat means and for rotating said disk means independently of one another to control the direction and quantity of the distributed fluid, said means for rotatably mounting said disk means including flange means disposed on said channel means at the opening thereof, a support plate means for rotatably supporting said disk means, and web portions for connecting said flange means with the periphery of said support plate means, said flange means including an outer end portion for fastening the fluid distributor arrangement at the opening of said channel means and a wall portion extending from said outer end portion into said channel means, and wherein additional fluid slot means defined between the wall portion of said flange means, said support plate means and said web means are provided in said channel means for directing at least a portion of the distributed fluid in predetermined directions substantially parallel to the exterior of said channel means.

Claim 11

A fluid distributor according to claim 8, wherein at least two rotatably mounted disk means are provided on said channel means arranged in close proximity to each other, each of said disk means being provided with a plurality of operatively interconnected pivotally mounted slat means, and means are provided for each of said two disk means for pivoting said slat means and for rotating said disk means independently of one another.

Claim 12

A fluid distributor according to claim 9, wherein web means are provided for shielding in a predetermined direction at least a portion of the distributed fluid.
