Abstract

An air vent comprising a housing extending between an air inlet opening and an air outlet opening, such that the housing has a first wall segment and a second wall segment; an air guiding element, arranged at least partially inside the housing thereby creating a first partial airflow channel and a second partial airflow channel between the air inlet opening and the air outlet opening; an airflow regulating element for regulating the airflow through the partial air flow channels, which airflow regulating element is arranged at the side of the air guiding element that is facing the air inlet opening; wherein the airflow regulating element forms an extension of the air guiding element in the direction of the air inlet opening and wherein the airflow regulating element is pivotable around an axis that lies behind the center of the airflow regulating element when viewed in the direction from the air outlet opening to the air inlet opening.
