Abstract
An air outlet opening apparatus for air conditioners is provided. The air outlet opening apparatus includes a shutter for selectively opening and closing the air outlet formed on an air conditioner body. A pair of support plates is mounted beside the shutter to guide the elevation and lowering of the shutter. The air outlet opening apparatus further includes elevation means for selectively elevating and lowering the shutter. The elevation means includes a pair of elevation members positioned to be slid on the support plates, a drive motor for generating power to move the elevation members, and power transmission means for converting the rotating movement of the drive motor to the simultaneous linear movements of the elevation members.
