Abstract

A control mechanism for controlling a plurality of movable elements of a ventilation nozzle using only one drive. The control mechanism includes a base body, a control gate, and at least two driven elements. A sliding block element having two degrees of freedom with respect to the base body is guided by alternating movements in two opposite directions of the first degree of freedom by the control gate and, in the process, consecutively abuts the first and/or second driven elements. So as to design such a control mechanism as simply as possible, rotational movements are utilized, instead of translatory movements.
