ABSTRACT:
An improved ventilation register for a vehicle and the like is provided which comprises an elongated housing adapted to be mounted in a vehicle and having an inlet opening adapted to be connected to a source of air and an outlet opening adapted to distribute the air into a vehicle compartment. A grille assembly is mounted in the outlet opening of the elongated housing and comprising a grille housing having an inlet opening in register with the inlet opening of the elongated housing and an outlet opening in register with the outlet opening of the elongated housing. At least one directional vane can be mounted in the grille housing which is adapted to direct the flow of air passing through the outlet opening of the elongated housing. A flow directing baffle can be provided in the elongated housing between the inlet opening and the grille assembly adapted to separate the flow of air passing through the elongated housing into two streams and to divert one of the two streams into a first direction different from the other of the two streams. The elongated housing outlet opening or the grille can have a curved surface in register with the one stream of air and downstream from the flow directing baffle to direct the one stream of air toward the other stream of air.
