Abstract: Air is directed from opposing ends of a trough- like continuous contour which defines a guide path for the two opposing streams. The air streams will be attached to flow along the trough and where the oppositely directed streams impact or inpinge upon each other, they will be deflected normal to their path and the two combined streams will be projected or directed perpendicularly outwardly from the trough in the form of a fan-shaped jet. By controlling the velocity of the two opposing jets, the point of impact or impingement of the two jets can be moved along the trough with the trough defining the path of movement of the point or virtual outlet of outward projection of the combined jets. In preferred embodiments, the defrost and heating and air conditioning outlets for automobiles incorporate the invention so as to avoid protrusions and provide a continuous clean and unbroken appearance.

Abstract translation: 空气从槽状连续轮廓的相对端引导，其限定了两个相对的流的引导路径。 气流将被连接以沿着槽流动，并且相对定向的流在彼此冲击或倒入的位置处，它们将被偏离到它们的路径上，并且两个组合的流将以形式从槽垂直地向外突出或定向 的扇形射流。 通过控制两个相对的射流的速度，两个射流的冲击或冲击点可以沿着槽移动，其中槽限定组合射流的向外投影的点或虚拟出口的移动路径。 在优选实施例中，用于汽车的除霜和加热和空调出口结合本发明以避免突起并提供连续清洁且不间断的外观。

Abstract: An air distribution system, particularly for automobiles, in which the depth of the unit is relatively short and in which control over the direction of air flow can be achieved by movement of an element in a plane orthogonal to the direction of air flow. A main air flow outlet is formed in a wall member and a parallel flow path is formed adjacent the outlet and has diverging walls which are relatively short so that there is no wall attachment or coanda effects per se. Flow of fluid through the adjacent parallel flow path or passageway exits through an opening that directs the air in a direction generally parallel to the short wall direction of the adjacent flow path. By controlling the entry of air into the parallel flow path, the main air flow vector is deflected and the direction of flow is thereby controlled. The deflection is greater when an obstacle slightly intrudes the side of the outlet opposite the parallel flow path. With a rectangular outlet opening, four adjacent parallel paths with short, straight or curved walls and adjacent parallel passages and obstacle intruders, the flow can be controlled in four directions or can be caused to diffuse generally in a forward direction. The element for control is basically a plate element movable in the plane transverse to the direction of the main air flow so that relatively short depth is required for installation of the device in an automobile system. By adding a control flap, the angular sweep can be greatly enlarged. By adding fixed control louvers, the maximum angles of directivity can be increased. The control plate can be positioned by a solenoid or driven by a motor to cause oscillatory sweep of the air issuing into the ambient.
