A control device adapted to be installed in a conduit for an automotive air conditioning system includes a generally rectangular housing mounted, for example, in the dashboard of a vehicle to define an opening. A louver assembly is rotatably mounted in the housing on a pair of shafts which extend from end walls of the louver assembly into bearing apertures formed in the end walls of the housing. An O-ring is installed on one of the shafts and frictionally engages the inner wall of one of the bearing apertures to enable the louver assembly to be selectively and rotationally positioned in the housing for controlling the amount and directional flow of the air out of the opening. A pair of slots formed in the end wall of the housing on either side of at least one of the bearing apertures define a resilient tab which allows the louver assembly to be snapped into and out of the housing. |
