Abstract
Air duct outlets having remotely located joystick controls are provided. A first set of generally parallel louvers are pivotally connected in spaced-apart adjacent relationship. A second set of generally parallel louvers are pivotally connected in spaced-apart adjacent relationship in an upstream location from the first set of louvers. A joystick is remotely positioned and does not interfere with air flowing through the outlet. The joystick is operably coupled with the first and second sets of louvers and is configured to pivot the first and second sets of louvers in response to user movement thereof.
