Abstract

An air vent is configured to discharge two separate volumetric flows of air in respectively different and intersecting discharge directions. A perceived air discharge direction is adjustable with no change to the intersecting discharge directions. A first volumetric flow of air exits the first air duct in a first direction, and a second volumetric flow of air exits the second air duct in a second direction that intersects the first direction so that the volumetric flows of air collide after exiting airducts of the air vent. A non-visible vane located along one of the air ducts is moveable to change the perceived air discharge direction.
