Abstract
A distribution unit for a ventilation installation for a vehicle has a housing (2) which is provided with outlets (3-10) and has an at least partly cylindrical shell surface in which a valve device (13) is rotatable inside the cylindrical housing via a shaft (14) which is along the axis of the shell surface of the housing. In the cylindrical shell surface of the housing there is at least one concavity (20) which via an aperture (21) which is within the housing and is situated substantially in a radial plane of the housing is connected to the interior of the housing and forms an outlet (6). A thin-walled circular valve element (18) which is incorporated in the valve device (13) and is disc-shaped or basin-shaped cooperates with the aperture and is rotatable in the aforesaid radial plane.
