Abstract
In an air conditioner outlet vent device in which a plurality of second blades are arranged behind a plurality of first blades in a direction perpendicular to the direction in which the first blades are arranged. The second blades are linked to a common link member, supported in a housing in a pivotable manner, and can be pivoted by an operating knob that can slide in the direction in which the second blades are arranged. A cut out recess opening toward the first blades and a pair of covers covering opposite sides of the cut out recess are provided on one of the second blades, and an engaging arm provided on the operating knob is inserted into the cut out recess so that the engaging arm can engage with one of the two covers. It is possible thereby to increase the amount of air blown out, and to enhance the air directing performance by making the gaps between the second blades relatively small.
