Abstract

An air-guiding appliance (10) for the directionally defined introduction of air supplied on the rear side of the appliance into a space (22), in particular interior of a vehicle, having a housing (26), an air-guiding guiding device (12) which has recesses on the front side and by means of which the direction of the air flowing out into the space (22) can be defined, means (16) for setting the direction of the air-guiding device (12) and, if appropriate, means for setting the quantity of air flowing into the space, an air-guiding body (30) or an air-guiding plate which has through-going recesses (32) which correspond with the front-side recesses and the air-charged rear side, the air-guiding body (30) or the air-guiding plate consisting of elastically deformable material, there being means (40.1, 40.2) for displacing the rear side of the air-guiding body (30)/air-guiding plate with respect to the fixed front side of the air-guiding body (30)/air-guiding plate, or vice versa, the displacement means (40.1, 40.2) being acted upon by the means (16) for setting the direction, so that a desired position of the through-going recesses (32) and therefore the desired inflow direction is set, …
