Air jet housing, to deliver an air flow into the interior of a motor vehicle, has a two-part slide with a film hinge and a decorative clip at the visible side

摘要

The slide (1), at an air jet housing to deliver air from an air feed shaft, is in two shell-shaped half sections linked at the rear side by a film hinge. Plastics ratchet locks are at the rear sides with ratchet openings (4) at the rear side of one half-section (2) and sprung ratchet projections (5) at the rear side of the other half-section (3). Locking walls (14) grip behind the openings when together. One half-section (3) has at least one spacer (6) at the leading side, to define the gap between the two half-sections, working with a tongue-shaped shoulder (7) at the other half-section (2). An aligned passage opening (8) passes through the spacer and the shoulder. One half-section (2) has ratchets (9) at least at the leading corner, with grips which can be accessed externally. A sliding chamber (19) for the blade (10) is set by the spacer, between the spacer and the film hinge or behind the closure wall or the ratchet projections. After the two half sections have been bonded by the rear blade, a clip (11) extends over the slide length, with at least one locking shoulder (12) at the rear side to fit into the passage opening, and sprung ratchet inward projections (13) at the side ends to lock with the ratchets at the half-section (2). The clip is of plastics or metal, with a visible surface which is treated by chroming or anodizing.
