<p>A room air conditioner (10) of the type having a partition (26), which divides the indoor (12) and outdoor sections (14) of the air conditioning unit (10). The partition (26) has an exhaust opening for exhausting room air into the outdoor section. A one-piece exhaust actuation device (25) includes an elongated actuating arm. The arm has a first end (120) extending forwardly of the support structure, an intermediate section (122) extending in close proximity to the support structure and through the second opening into the outdoor section. A second end of the actuation device has a curved section (148) configured to extend into the outdoor section (14) in a first direction and to substantially reverse direction with the end of the curved section (148) adjacent to the outdoor section (14) side of the exhaust opening in the partition (26). The end of the curved section carries a door (152) thereupon which is configured to block air flow through the exhaust opening (106) in the partition when it is in confronting relation therewith. Means are provided on the support structure for pivotally supporting the intermediate section (122) of the actuating arm (25) at a position such that lateral movement of the first end (27) of the arm will result in movement of the door (152) selectively between a position in confronting relation with the exhaust opening and a position allowing free exhaust flow through the exhaust opening.</p> |
