Description

レジスタregister
　本発明は、自動車の車室内の換気や空調の空気吹出部に使用されるレジスタに関するものである。 The present invention relates to a register used in an air blowing part for ventilation or air conditioning in a passenger compartment of an automobile.
　従来、レジスタは、例えば、自動車のインストルメントパネル等に配設され、例えば空調装置で調節された調和空気を車室内に吹き出す空気吹出部に使用されている。これらのレジスタは、略矩形筒状の枠体内部に左右方向へ平行に延び、上下方向へ回動可能に配設された複数の水平フィンと、水平フィンの後方において、上下方向へ平行に延び、左右方向へ回動可能に配設された垂直フィンと、複数の水平フィンの１つに左右方向にスライド移動可能に装着された操作ノブと、を有している。 Conventionally, a register is disposed in, for example, an instrument panel of an automobile, and is used, for example, in an air blowing unit that blows conditioned air adjusted by an air conditioner into a vehicle interior. These registers extend in parallel in the left-right direction inside the substantially rectangular cylindrical frame, and extend in parallel in the up-down direction behind the horizontal fins, which are arranged to be rotatable in the up-down direction. And a vertical fin disposed so as to be pivotable in the left-right direction, and an operation knob mounted on one of the plurality of horizontal fins so as to be slidable in the left-right direction.
　そして、これらのレジスタにおいては、使用者が操作ノブを用いて一の水平フィンを上下方向に回動させることによって、複数の水平フィンにおける上下方向の回動量を調整可能に構成されている。又、使用者が一の水平フィンに沿って左右方向にスライド移動させることによって、後方に位置する複数の垂直フィンにおける左右方向の回動量を調整可能に構成されている。これらのレジスタによれば、複数の水平フィン及び複数の垂直フィンの回動量を調整することによって、空気の吹出方向を上下左右に調整することができる。 These registers are configured such that the user can adjust the amount of vertical rotation of the plurality of horizontal fins by rotating one horizontal fin up and down using the operation knob. Further, the user can adjust the amount of rotation in the left-right direction of the plurality of vertical fins positioned rearward by sliding the left-right direction along one horizontal fin. According to these registers, the air blowing direction can be adjusted up, down, left, and right by adjusting the rotation amounts of the plurality of horizontal fins and the plurality of vertical fins.
　このようなレジスタにおける操作ノブとして、二股状に形成されたアーム部材が操作ノブの後方部分に上下方向に回動可能に支持されているものが存在している。この場合、アーム部材は、一の垂直フィンに形成された切欠部の周縁部における上側部分と下側部分とを接続する連結シャフトを挟むように配設されており、操作ノブのスライド移動に伴う力を、連結シャフトを介して、垂直フィンに伝達している。 As an operation knob in such a register, there is one in which an arm member formed in a bifurcated shape is supported at the rear portion of the operation knob so as to be rotatable in the vertical direction. In this case, the arm member is disposed so as to sandwich the connecting shaft that connects the upper part and the lower part in the peripheral part of the notch part formed in one vertical fin, and is accompanied by the sliding movement of the operation knob. Force is transmitted to the vertical fins via the connecting shaft.
　この構成の場合、使用者が操作ノブを用いて水平フィンを上下方向に回動させると、アーム部材は、操作ノブに対して上下方向に回動し、垂直フィンの切欠部内を移動する。この時、アーム部材の先端が切欠部周縁部における上側及び下側に形成された張出部に対して接触してしまい、異音が発生してしまう場合があった。 In this configuration, when the user rotates the horizontal fin in the vertical direction using the operation knob, the arm member rotates in the vertical direction with respect to the operation knob and moves in the cutout portion of the vertical fin. At this time, the tip of the arm member may come into contact with the overhanging portions formed on the upper side and the lower side of the peripheral portion of the notch portion, and abnormal noise may occur.
　この問題点を解消すべくなされた発明として、特許文献１記載の発明が知られている。特許文献１記載のレジスタは、複数の前ブレードと、複数の後ブレードを有しており、一の前ブレードにスライド移動可能に配設された操作ノブを用いて、空気の吹出方向を上下左右に調整可能に構成されている。そして、特許文献１記載のレジスタにおいて、一の後ブレードには、前方に開口する切欠部が形成されており、当該切欠部の周縁部には、互いに上下方向に対向する一対の張出部が形成されている。又、連結シャフトが、当該切欠部の周縁部における上側部分と下側部分とを接続している。 The invention described in Patent Document 1 is known as an invention that has been made to solve this problem. The register described in Patent Document 1 has a plurality of front blades and a plurality of rear blades, and uses an operation knob disposed on the one front blade so as to be slidable. It is configured to be adjustable. And in the register | resistor of patent document 1, the notch part opened ahead is formed in one rear blade, and a pair of overhang | projection part which mutually opposes in the up-down direction is formed in the peripheral part of the said notch part. Is formed. Moreover, the connection shaft has connected the upper part and lower part in the peripheral part of the said notch part.
　そして、特許文献１において、操作ノブの後部には、アーム部材が上下方向に回動可能に配設されている。当該アーム部材は、連結シャフトを左右両側から挟む二股状の湾曲アームと、各湾曲アームの後端を上下方向に拡張した拡張部を有している。当該レジスタは、一の垂直フィンにおける上側張出部及び下側張出部と、アーム部材の後端部（即ち、拡張部）との間の距離を小さくすることで、上側張出部又は下側張出部に対し、アーム部材が接触することで生じる異音の音量を抑制している。 And in patent document 1, the arm member is arrange | positioned by the rear part of the operation knob so that rotation is possible to an up-down direction. The arm member has a bifurcated curved arm that sandwiches the connecting shaft from both the left and right sides, and an extended portion that extends the rear end of each curved arm in the vertical direction. The register is configured such that the distance between the upper and lower projecting portions of one vertical fin and the rear end portion (that is, the expansion portion) of the arm member is reduced, so that the upper projecting portion or the lower projecting portion is reduced. The volume of abnormal noise generated by the arm member coming into contact with the side projecting portion is suppressed.
特開２０１６－０５２８１５号公報JP 2016-052815 A
　上述したように、特許文献１記載の技術によっても、上側張出部又は下側張出部に対してアーム部材が接触することで生じる異音の音量を小さくすることができる。しかしながら、現在においても、操作部材の操作に伴ってアーム部材が垂直方向に回動した場合に、上側張出部又は下側張出部に対してアーム部材が接触することで生じる異音の音量を更に小さくすることは、まだ尚強く要望されている。 As described above, even with the technique described in Patent Document 1, it is possible to reduce the volume of abnormal noise generated when the arm member comes into contact with the upper projecting portion or the lower projecting portion. However, even now, when the arm member rotates in the vertical direction in accordance with the operation of the operation member, the volume of abnormal noise generated by the arm member coming into contact with the upper overhanging portion or the lower overhanging portion. There is still a strong demand for a further reduction in the size.
　そこで、本発明は、上述した問題点を解決するためになされたものであり、操作ノブを操作することにより調和空気等の吹出方向を調整可能なレジスタに関し、操作ノブを用いた吹出方向の調整に際し、アーム部材に起因する異音を低減可能なレジスタを提供する。 Therefore, the present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and relates to a register capable of adjusting the blowing direction of conditioned air or the like by operating the operation knob, and adjusting the blowing direction using the operation knob. At the time, a resistor capable of reducing abnormal noise caused by the arm member is provided.

Further, in the front of the register 1, the vertical direction and the horizontal direction are defined from the viewpoint of the user facing the register 1.
（レジスタの概略構成）
　先ず、第１実施形態に係るレジスタについて説明する。
　図１～図４に示すように、レジスタ１は、リテーナ２と、ベゼル５とを有しており、空調装置で調節された調和空気を車室内に吹き出すように構成されている。リテーナ２は、略矩形筒状に形成されており、その内部が通風路３を構成している。リテーナ２の後端部は、通風路３を介して空調装置（図示せず）に接続されている。 (Schematic configuration of registers)
First, the register according to the first embodiment will be described.
As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the register 1 includes a retainer 2 and a bezel 5, and is configured to blow conditioned air adjusted by an air conditioner into the vehicle interior. The retainer 2 is formed in a substantially rectangular cylindrical shape, and the inside of the retainer 2 constitutes the ventilation path 3. A rear end portion of the retainer 2 is connected to an air conditioner (not shown) through the ventilation path 3.
　そして、ベゼル５は、リテーナ２の前面に配設される略矩形枠状の部材であり、空気吹出口６を有している。空気吹出口６は、空調装置で調節された空気を、通風路３を介して、レジスタ１の外部（乗員側）に向けて吹き出す。そして、ベゼル５の右側部分には、操作ダイヤル７が配設されており、当該操作ダイヤル７は、リテーナ２内部の通風路３を、シャッタ４によって開閉する際に操作される。 The bezel 5 is a substantially rectangular frame-like member disposed on the front surface of the retainer 2 and has an air outlet 6. The air outlet 6 blows out the air adjusted by the air conditioner toward the outside (occupant side) of the register 1 through the ventilation path 3. An operation dial 7 is disposed on the right side of the bezel 5, and the operation dial 7 is operated when the ventilation path 3 inside the retainer 2 is opened and closed by the shutter 4.
　リテーナ２の前側開口部分には、複数の水平フィン１０が、左右両側の側壁に対して回動可能に支持されている。複数（第１実施形態においては、３本）の水平フィン１０は、それぞれ左右方向に延びるように形成された板状の水平フィン本体１１を有しており、上下方向に配設された各水平フィン１０の夫々に対して、平行に配設されている。 A plurality of horizontal fins 10 are supported at the front opening of the retainer 2 so as to be rotatable with respect to the left and right side walls. A plurality (three in the first embodiment) of horizontal fins 10 each have a plate-like horizontal fin body 11 formed so as to extend in the left-right direction, and each horizontal fin disposed in the vertical direction. The fins 10 are arranged in parallel with each other.
　そして、各水平フィン１０の左右両端部には、回動支持軸１２が同軸上に設けられている（図３等参照）。当該回動支持軸１２は、水平フィン１０の左右両端部から外側方向に突出している。各回動支持軸１２がリテーナ２の左右側壁に対して回動可能に取り付けられている為、各水平フィン１０は、回動支持軸１２の軸心周り（つまり、上下方向）に回動可能に取り付けられている。 Rotating support shafts 12 are coaxially provided at both left and right ends of each horizontal fin 10 (see FIG. 3 and the like). The rotation support shaft 12 protrudes outward from the left and right ends of the horizontal fin 10. Since each rotation support shaft 12 is rotatably attached to the left and right side walls of the retainer 2, each horizontal fin 10 can be rotated around the axis of the rotation support shaft 12 (that is, in the vertical direction). It is attached.
　各水平フィン１０の左右方向における端部には、リンク支持軸１３が、当該端部の略中央部に形成されている。当該レジスタ１においては、３本の水平フィン１０のリンク支持軸１３がリンク部材（図示せず）で連結されている為、３本の水平フィン１０が全て連動して上下方向に回動する。 The link support shaft 13 is formed in the substantially center part of the said edge part in the edge part in the left-right direction of each horizontal fin 10. FIG. In the register 1, since the link support shafts 13 of the three horizontal fins 10 are connected by a link member (not shown), all the three horizontal fins 10 are pivoted in the vertical direction.
　図１乃至図４に示すように、上下方向に並ぶ水平フィン１０の中段には、中央水平フィン１０Ａが配置されている。中央水平フィン１０Ａには、操作ノブ３０が、中央水平フィン１０Ａの水平フィン本体１１に沿って、左右方向へスライド可能に取り付けられている。当該レジスタ１においては、操作ノブ３０を上下方向に操作することにより、中央水平フィン１０Ａを上下方向に回動する。そして、中央水平フィン１０Ａの回動が各リンク支持軸１３を介して伝達される為、各水平フィン１０は、全て連動して上下方向に回動する。これにより、当該レジスタ１において、空気吹出口６から吹出される空気の吹出方向が上下方向に調整される。 As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, a central horizontal fin 10 </ b> A is arranged in the middle of the horizontal fins 10 arranged in the vertical direction. An operation knob 30 is attached to the central horizontal fin 10A so as to be slidable in the left-right direction along the horizontal fin body 11 of the central horizontal fin 10A. In the register 1, the central horizontal fin 10A is rotated in the vertical direction by operating the operation knob 30 in the vertical direction. And since rotation of center horizontal fin 10A is transmitted via each link support shaft 13, all horizontal fins 10 rotate up and down in conjunction with each other. Thereby, in the said register | resistor 1, the blowing direction of the air blown from the air blower outlet 6 is adjusted to an up-down direction.
　そして、リテーナ２内部においては、複数（第１実施形態においては、５本）の垂直フィン２０が、複数の水平フィン１０よりも後側で、且つシャッタ４よりも前側部分に配設されている。各垂直フィン２０は、上下方向に延びる板状を為し、互いに平行となるように配設されている。 In the retainer 2, a plurality of (in the first embodiment, five) vertical fins 20 are arranged on the rear side of the plurality of horizontal fins 10 and on the front side of the shutter 4. . Each vertical fin 20 has a plate shape extending in the vertical direction, and is arranged so as to be parallel to each other.
　図４等に示すように、各垂直フィン２０の上下両端部には、上回動支持軸２２、下回動支持軸２３が、それぞれ上下方向に突出し、且つ、同軸上に位置するように形成されている。上回動支持軸２２、下回動支持軸２３は、リテーナ２の上下側壁に回動可能に支持されている為、各垂直フィン２０は、上回動支持軸２２及び下回動支持軸２３を結ぶ軸周りに、左右方向へ回動可能に取り付けられている。 As shown in FIG. 4 and the like, an upper rotation support shaft 22 and a lower rotation support shaft 23 are formed at the upper and lower ends of each vertical fin 20 so as to protrude in the vertical direction and to be positioned coaxially. Has been. Since the upper rotation support shaft 22 and the lower rotation support shaft 23 are rotatably supported on the upper and lower side walls of the retainer 2, each vertical fin 20 is connected to the upper rotation support shaft 22 and the lower rotation support shaft 23. It is attached so that it can rotate in the left-right direction around the axis connecting the two.
　そして、各垂直フィン２０の上端部には、リンク支持軸２４が後方部分に形成されている。図４に示すように、各垂直フィン２０のリンク支持軸２４がリンク部材６０で連結されている為、一の垂直フィンが左右方向に回動すると、全ての垂直フィン２０が連動して左右方向に回動するように構成されている。 A link support shaft 24 is formed in the rear part at the upper end of each vertical fin 20. As shown in FIG. 4, since the link support shaft 24 of each vertical fin 20 is connected by a link member 60, when one vertical fin rotates in the left-right direction, all the vertical fins 20 are interlocked and moved in the left-right direction. It is comprised so that it may rotate.
　ここで、複数の垂直フィン２０は、レジスタ１の左右方向における中央部分に、中央垂直フィン２０Ａを有している。図１～図４に示すように、中央垂直フィン２０Ａは、中央水平フィン１０Ａにスライド移動可能に取り付けられた操作ノブ３０の背面側に位置している。中央垂直フィン２０Ａは、後述する連結機構部ＣＰによって、操作ノブ３０のスライド移動が伝達されるように連結されている為、操作ノブ３０のスライド移動に伴って、左右方向に回動する。 Here, the plurality of vertical fins 20 have a central vertical fin 20 </ b> A at the central portion in the left-right direction of the register 1. As shown in FIGS. 1 to 4, the central vertical fin 20A is located on the back side of the operation knob 30 that is slidably attached to the central horizontal fin 10A. Since the center vertical fin 20A is connected by a connecting mechanism part CP described later so that the slide movement of the operation knob 30 is transmitted, the center vertical fin 20A rotates in the left-right direction as the operation knob 30 slides.
　そして、複数の垂直フィン２０は、夫々、リンク支持軸２４を介して、リンク部材６０に連結されている為、全ての垂直フィン２０が、中央垂直フィン２０Ａの左右方向への回動に連動して左右方向へ回動する。従って、当該レジスタ１によれば、操作ノブ３０をスライド移動させて、全ての垂直フィン２０を左右方向へ回動させることによって、空気吹出口６から吹出される空気の吹出方向を、左右方向に調整することができる。 Since each of the plurality of vertical fins 20 is connected to the link member 60 via the link support shaft 24, all the vertical fins 20 are interlocked with the rotation of the central vertical fin 20A in the left-right direction. Turn left and right. Therefore, according to the register 1, by sliding the operation knob 30 and rotating all the vertical fins 20 in the left-right direction, the blowing direction of the air blown from the air outlet 6 is changed in the left-right direction. Can be adjusted.
（連結機構部の概略構成）
　続いて、本実施形態に係るレジスタ１における連結機構部ＣＰについて、図面を参照しつつ説明する。連結機構部ＣＰは、複数の水平フィン１０を上下方向に、複数の垂直フィン２０を左右方向にそれぞれ回動させるための機構部であり、図５乃至図７に示すように、中央水平フィン１０Ａに対してスライド移動可能に取り付けられた操作ノブ３０と、中央垂直フィン２０Ａとを連結して構成される。 (Schematic structure of the coupling mechanism)
Next, the coupling mechanism portion CP in the register 1 according to the present embodiment will be described with reference to the drawings. The coupling mechanism CP is a mechanism for rotating the plurality of horizontal fins 10 in the up-down direction and the plurality of vertical fins 20 in the left-right direction. As shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the central horizontal fin 10 </ b> A. The operation knob 30 attached so as to be slidable with respect to the central vertical fin 20A is connected.
（中央垂直フィンにおける切欠部の構成）
　図５乃至図７に示すように、中央垂直フィン２０Ａは、切欠部２５が形成されている点を除き、他の垂直フィン２０と同様の構成であり、垂直フィン本体２１と、上回動支持軸２２と、下回動支持軸２３と、リンク支持軸２４とを有している。 (Configuration of the notch in the central vertical fin)
As shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the center vertical fin 20 </ b> A has the same configuration as the other vertical fins 20 except that the notch 25 is formed, and the vertical fin body 21 and the upper rotation support are configured. The shaft 22 has a lower rotation support shaft 23 and a link support shaft 24.
　即ち、中央垂直フィン２０Ａの上下両端部においても、上回動支持軸２２、下回動支持軸２３が、夫々上下方向に突出し、且つ、同軸上に位置するように形成されている。そして、中央垂直フィン２０Ａの下端部における後方部分には、リンク支持軸２４が形成されている。そして、中央垂直フィン２０Ａにおいても、垂直フィン本体２１は、他の垂直フィン２０と同様に、上回動支持軸２２と下回動支持軸２３を通る中心線を基準として、後方側に延びる平板状に形成されている。 That is, the upper rotation support shaft 22 and the lower rotation support shaft 23 are formed so as to protrude in the vertical direction and be positioned coaxially at both upper and lower ends of the central vertical fin 20A. A link support shaft 24 is formed at the rear portion of the lower end portion of the central vertical fin 20A. Also in the central vertical fin 20 </ b> A, the vertical fin body 21 is a flat plate extending rearward with respect to the center line passing through the upper rotation support shaft 22 and the lower rotation support shaft 23, as with the other vertical fins 20. It is formed in a shape.
　そして、中央垂直フィン２０Ａには、切欠部２５が、当該垂直フィン本体２１の前方側において、中央垂直フィン２０Ａの上下方向略中央部分に形成されている。当該切欠部２５は、垂直フィン本体２１の前端縁から後方に向かって切り欠かれ、前方に向かって開口するように形成されており、連結シャフト２６と、上側張出部２７と、下側張出部２８とを有している。 In the central vertical fin 20A, a notch 25 is formed at a substantially central portion in the vertical direction of the central vertical fin 20A on the front side of the vertical fin body 21. The notch 25 is cut away from the front end edge of the vertical fin main body 21 toward the rear, and is formed to open toward the front, and includes a connecting shaft 26, an upper overhang 27, and a lower tension. And an exit portion 28.
　切欠部２５の周縁部における前端部には、連結シャフト２６が形成されており、当該連結シャフト２６は、切欠部２５における周縁部の上部及び下部を接続するように垂直に延びている。連結シャフト２６は、垂直フィン本体２１と一体に形成されており、操作ノブ３０のスライド移動に伴う力が伝達される部分を構成している。 A connecting shaft 26 is formed at the front end portion of the peripheral portion of the notch 25, and the connecting shaft 26 extends vertically so as to connect the upper and lower portions of the peripheral portion of the notch 25. The connecting shaft 26 is formed integrally with the vertical fin body 21 and constitutes a portion to which a force accompanying the sliding movement of the operation knob 30 is transmitted.
　上側張出部２７は、切欠部２５の周縁部における上側部分に、フランジ状に形成されており、垂直フィン本体２１を基準として、左右方向（即ち、水平方向）に張り出すように形成されている。そして、下側張出部２８は、切欠部２５の周縁部における下側部分に、フランジ状に形成されており、切欠部２５を介して、上側張出部２７と対向するように配置される。又、下側張出部２８は、上側張出部２７と同様に、垂直フィン本体２１を基準として、左右方向（即ち、水平方向）に張り出すように形成されている。 The upper projecting portion 27 is formed in a flange shape at the upper portion of the peripheral portion of the notch 25 and is formed so as to project in the left-right direction (that is, the horizontal direction) with the vertical fin body 21 as a reference. Yes. The lower projecting portion 28 is formed in a flange shape at the lower portion of the peripheral edge of the notch 25 and is disposed so as to face the upper projecting portion 27 through the notch 25. . Similarly to the upper projecting portion 27, the lower projecting portion 28 is formed so as to project in the left-right direction (that is, the horizontal direction) with the vertical fin body 21 as a reference.
（操作ノブの構成）
　操作ノブ３０は、上述したように、連結機構部ＣＰを構成すると共に、レジスタ１の使用者が空気の吹出方向を調節する際の操作に用いられるノブ本体４０と、アーム部材５０とを有している。当該アーム部材５０は、中央垂直フィン２０Ａの連結シャフト２６と係合しており、ノブ本体４０のスライド移動に伴う力が伝達される。 (Operation knob configuration)
As described above, the operation knob 30 constitutes the coupling mechanism portion CP, and has a knob body 40 and an arm member 50 that are used for an operation when the user of the register 1 adjusts the air blowing direction. ing. The arm member 50 is engaged with the connecting shaft 26 of the central vertical fin 20A, and the force accompanying the sliding movement of the knob body 40 is transmitted.
（ノブ本体の構成）
　図５乃至図７に示すように、ノブ本体４０は、中央水平フィン１０Ａに対してスライド可能に取り付けられると共に、水平フィン１０を垂直方向に回動させる為の操作ノブ３０の主要部を構成する。ノブ本体４０は、挿通孔４１と、軸保持部４２を有している。 (Configuration of knob body)
As shown in FIGS. 5 to 7, the knob body 40 is slidably attached to the central horizontal fin 10 </ b> A and constitutes a main part of the operation knob 30 for rotating the horizontal fin 10 in the vertical direction. . The knob body 40 has an insertion hole 41 and a shaft holding portion 42.
　挿通孔４１は、当該ノブ本体４０を左右方向に貫通するように形成されている。当該ノブ本体４０は、中央垂直フィン２０Ａを挿通孔４１に挿通するように取り付けられている為、中央垂直フィン２０Ａに対して、左右方向にスライド移動可能に配設される。 The insertion hole 41 is formed so as to penetrate the knob body 40 in the left-right direction. Since the knob main body 40 is attached so as to pass the central vertical fin 20A through the insertion hole 41, the knob main body 40 is arranged to be slidable in the left-right direction with respect to the central vertical fin 20A.
　そして、軸保持部４２は、ノブ本体４０の後端部において、左右両端部それぞれに設けられており、後述するアーム部材５０のアーム回動軸５１を軸支している（図３、図５等参照）。従って、当該軸保持部４２は、ノブ本体４０に対して、当該アーム部材５０を垂直方向へ回動自在に支持している。 The shaft holding portion 42 is provided at each of the left and right end portions of the rear end portion of the knob body 40 and supports an arm rotation shaft 51 of an arm member 50 described later (FIGS. 3 and 5). Etc.). Therefore, the shaft holding portion 42 supports the arm member 50 so as to be rotatable in the vertical direction with respect to the knob body 40.
（アーム部材の構成）
　そして、アーム部材５０は、ノブ本体４０の後端部において、垂直方向に回動可能に取り付けられており、アーム回動軸５１と、湾曲アーム５２を有している。当該アーム部材５０は、中央垂直フィン２０Ａの連結シャフト２６と係合することで、ノブ本体４０のスライド移動に伴う力を、中央垂直フィン２０Ａに対して伝達する。そして、アーム部材５０は、ノブ本体４０に対して垂直方向に回動可能に取り付ける為のアーム回動軸５１と、当該アーム回動軸５１から後方に向かって延びる二股状の湾曲アーム５２と、を有している。 (Configuration of arm member)
The arm member 50 is attached to the rear end portion of the knob body 40 so as to be rotatable in the vertical direction, and includes an arm rotation shaft 51 and a bending arm 52. The arm member 50 is engaged with the connecting shaft 26 of the central vertical fin 20A, thereby transmitting the force accompanying the sliding movement of the knob body 40 to the central vertical fin 20A. The arm member 50 includes an arm rotation shaft 51 that is rotatably attached to the knob body 40 in a vertical direction, a bifurcated curved arm 52 that extends rearward from the arm rotation shaft 51, and have.
　アーム回動軸５１は、アーム部材５０の前端部の外側部分に、左右方向に突出するように形成されており、左右両側のアーム回動軸５１が同軸上に位置している。図３等にしめすように、当該アーム回動軸５１は、ノブ本体４０後端部に形成された軸保持部４２によって、回動自在に保持されている。これにより、アーム部材５０は、ノブ本体４０に対して、アーム回動軸５１を中心として垂直方向へ回動可能に連結されている。 The arm rotation shaft 51 is formed on the outer portion of the front end portion of the arm member 50 so as to protrude in the left-right direction, and the left and right arm rotation shafts 51 are coaxially positioned. As shown in FIG. 3 and the like, the arm rotation shaft 51 is rotatably held by a shaft holding portion 42 formed at the rear end portion of the knob body 40. Thereby, the arm member 50 is connected to the knob body 40 so as to be rotatable in the vertical direction around the arm rotation shaft 51.
　そして、二股状の湾曲アーム５２は、アーム回動軸５１の左右方向中央部分において、左右方向に間隔を空けて形成されており、アーム部材５０の前端部から後方に向かって延びている。図８、図９に示すように、当該湾曲アームは、アーム回動軸５１から後方に向かって延びる途中で下方に向かって一度湾曲した後、その後方において上方に向かって湾曲している。二股状に形成された湾曲アーム５２の間には、中央垂直フィン２０Ａの連結シャフト２６が配置される（図３乃至図７参照）。換言すれば、一対の湾曲アーム５２は、連結シャフト２６を挟んで左右両側に配設される。 The bifurcated curved arm 52 is formed with a space in the left-right direction at the center portion in the left-right direction of the arm rotation shaft 51 and extends rearward from the front end portion of the arm member 50. As shown in FIGS. 8 and 9, the bending arm is bent downward once while extending backward from the arm rotation shaft 51, and then bent upward at the rear. A connecting shaft 26 of the central vertical fin 20A is disposed between the curved arms 52 formed in a bifurcated shape (see FIGS. 3 to 7). In other words, the pair of bending arms 52 are arranged on both the left and right sides with the connecting shaft 26 interposed therebetween.
　従って、操作ノブ３０がスライド移動すると、ノブ本体４０と共に、アーム部材５０も移動する為、湾曲アーム５２は、中央垂直フィン２０Ａの連結シャフト２６を押圧する。そして、この連結シャフト２６の押圧に伴って、中央垂直フィン２０Ａが左右方向へ回動する為、他の垂直フィン２０も、連動して左右方向に回動する。 Therefore, when the operation knob 30 is slid, the arm member 50 is moved together with the knob body 40, so that the bending arm 52 presses the connecting shaft 26 of the central vertical fin 20A. As the connecting shaft 26 is pressed, the central vertical fin 20A rotates in the left-right direction, so that the other vertical fins 20 also rotate in the left-right direction in conjunction with each other.
　尚、第１実施形態においては、中央水平フィン１０Ａの上下方向への回動に伴って、操作ノブ３０も上下方向に回動するが、一対の湾曲アーム５２の間に、上下方向に延びる連結シャフト２６が配置されている為、湾曲アーム５２が、操作ノブ３０の上下方向への回動に伴って、連結シャフト２６に接触することはない。従って、操作ノブ３０の上下方向に対する回動は、複数の垂直フィン２０を左右方向へ回動させることはない。 In the first embodiment, as the central horizontal fin 10A rotates in the vertical direction, the operation knob 30 also rotates in the vertical direction. However, the connection between the pair of curved arms 52 extends in the vertical direction. Since the shaft 26 is disposed, the bending arm 52 does not come into contact with the connecting shaft 26 as the operation knob 30 is rotated in the vertical direction. Therefore, the rotation of the operation knob 30 in the vertical direction does not rotate the plurality of vertical fins 20 in the left-right direction.
　そして、各湾曲アーム５２の先端（アーム回動軸５１側とは逆側の端部）には、上側接触片５３及び下側接触片５６が形成されている。上側接触片５３は、当該アーム部材５０における各湾曲アーム５２の先端から伸びており、側面視において、前記上側張出部２７側に突出する円弧を描くように湾曲している（図８、図９等参照）。 An upper contact piece 53 and a lower contact piece 56 are formed at the tip of each curved arm 52 (the end opposite to the arm rotation shaft 51 side). The upper contact piece 53 extends from the tip of each curved arm 52 in the arm member 50, and is curved so as to draw an arc that protrudes toward the upper projecting portion 27 in a side view (FIG. 8, FIG. 9 etc.).
　図７乃至図９に示すように、上側接触片５３の上面（即ち、上側張出部２７側に位置する面）には、上側接触部５４が形成されている。図９等に示すように、上側接触片５３の上面は、前記上側張出部２７に近づく上方側ほど、その左右方向の寸法が狭まるように形成されており、その頂点部分によって、上側接触部５４が構成されている。 As shown in FIGS. 7 to 9, an upper contact portion 54 is formed on the upper surface of the upper contact piece 53 (that is, the surface located on the upper projecting portion 27 side). As shown in FIG. 9 and the like, the upper surface of the upper contact piece 53 is formed such that the dimension in the left-right direction becomes narrower toward the upper side closer to the upper projecting portion 27, and the upper contact portion is formed by the apex portion. 54 is configured.
　そして上側接触片５３の先端部（アーム回動軸５１側とは逆側の端部）には、上側テーパ部５５が形成されている。上側テーパ部５５は、上側接触片５３における上側張出部２７側の端面であって、前記上側接触片５３の基端側に向かう程、前記上側張出部２７側に近づくように傾斜している。 Further, an upper taper portion 55 is formed at the tip of the upper contact piece 53 (the end opposite to the arm rotation shaft 51 side). The upper taper portion 55 is an end surface of the upper contact piece 53 on the upper projecting portion 27 side, and is inclined so as to approach the upper projecting portion 27 side toward the base end side of the upper contact piece 53. Yes.
　従って、レジスタ１の組立作業を行う際に、上側接触片５３に対して上方から他の構成部材が接触したとしても、上側テーパ部５５によって外方へ跳ねかえすことができる。これにより、当該レジスタ１によれば、レジスタ１の組立作業を行う際に、上側テーパ部５５によって、他の構成部材が上側接触片５３と下側接触片５６の間に入り込むことを防止することができ、もって、レジスタ１の組立作業性を高めることができる。 Therefore, when the assembly operation of the register 1 is performed, even if another component member comes into contact with the upper contact piece 53 from above, it can be flipped outward by the upper taper portion 55. Thereby, according to the register 1, when the register 1 is assembled, the upper tapered portion 55 prevents other constituent members from entering between the upper contact piece 53 and the lower contact piece 56. Therefore, the assembly workability of the register 1 can be improved.
　そして、下側接触片５６は、当該アーム部材５０の各湾曲アーム５２の先端において、上側接触片５３の基端よりも下方から伸びており、側面視において、前記下側張出部２８側に突出する円弧を描くように湾曲している（図８、図９等参照）。 The lower contact piece 56 extends from below the proximal end of the upper contact piece 53 at the distal end of each curved arm 52 of the arm member 50, and in the side view, on the lower projecting portion 28 side. It is curved to draw a protruding arc (see FIGS. 8 and 9).
　当該下側接触片５６の下面（即ち、下側張出部２８側に位置する面）には、下側接触部５７が形成されている（図７乃至図９参照）。下側接触部５７の下面は、前記下側張出部２８に近づく下方側ほど、その左右方向の寸法が狭まるように形成されており、その頂点部分によって、下側接触部５７が構成されている。 A lower contact portion 57 is formed on the lower surface of the lower contact piece 56 (that is, the surface located on the lower projecting portion 28 side) (see FIGS. 7 to 9). The lower surface of the lower contact portion 57 is formed such that the lateral dimension of the lower side closer to the lower overhanging portion 28 becomes narrower. The lower contact portion 57 is configured by the apex portion. Yes.
　又、下側接触部５７の先端部（アーム回動軸５１側とは逆側の端部）には、下側テーパ部５８が形成されている。下側テーパ部５８は、下側接触片５６における下側張出部２８側の端面であって、前記下側接触部５７の基端側に向かう程、前記下側張出部２８側に近づくように傾斜している。 Further, a lower taper portion 58 is formed at the tip end portion of the lower contact portion 57 (the end portion opposite to the arm rotation shaft 51 side). The lower taper portion 58 is an end surface of the lower contact piece 56 on the lower projecting portion 28 side and approaches the lower projecting portion 28 side toward the base end side of the lower contact portion 57. So as to be inclined.
　従って、レジスタ１の組立作業を行う際に、下側接触片５６に対して下方から他の構成部材が接触したとしても、下側テーパ部５８によって外方へ跳ねかえすことができる。これにより、当該レジスタ１によれば、レジスタ１の組立作業を行う際に、下側テーパ部５８によって、他の構成部材が上側接触片５３と下側接触片５６の間に入り込むことを防止することができ、もって、レジスタ１の組立作業性を高めることができる。 Therefore, when the assembly operation of the register 1 is performed, even if another component member comes into contact with the lower contact piece 56 from below, it can be flipped outward by the lower taper portion 58. Thereby, according to the register 1, when the register 1 is assembled, the lower taper portion 58 prevents other constituent members from entering between the upper contact piece 53 and the lower contact piece 56. Therefore, the assembly workability of the register 1 can be improved.

　続いて、上述のように構成されたレジスタ１において、シャッタ４を開けた状態で空気の吹出方向を上下左右に調整する方法について説明する。先ず、空気の吹出方向を左右に調整する場合について説明する。この場合、使用者は、中央水平フィン１０Ａに沿って、操作ノブ３０を左右方向にスライド移動させる。これにより、操作ノブ３０の移動力がアーム部材５０の湾曲アーム５２から、連結シャフト２６を介して、中央垂直フィン２０Ａに伝達される。これにより、中央垂直フィン２０Ａが左右方向に回動する為、他の垂直フィン２０は、各リンク支持軸２４及びリンク部材６０を介して、それに連動して左右方向に回動する。これにより、当該レジスタ１によれば、操作ノブ３０を左右方向にスライド移動させることで、空気の吹出方向を、所望の方向へ左右に調整することができる。 (Register operation)
Subsequently, in the register 1 configured as described above, a method of adjusting the air blowing direction up, down, left, and right with the shutter 4 opened will be described. First, the case where the air blowing direction is adjusted to the right and left will be described. In this case, the user slides the operation knob 30 in the left-right direction along the central horizontal fin 10A. Thereby, the moving force of the operation knob 30 is transmitted from the curved arm 52 of the arm member 50 to the central vertical fin 20 </ b> A via the connecting shaft 26. Accordingly, since the central vertical fin 20A rotates in the left-right direction, the other vertical fins 20 rotate in the left-right direction in conjunction with the link support shafts 24 and the link members 60. Thereby, according to the said register | resistor 1, the blowing direction of air can be adjusted right and left to a desired direction by sliding the operation knob 30 to the left and right direction.
　続いて、第１実施形態に係るレジスタ１において、空気の吹出方向を上下に調整する場合について、図面を参照しつつ詳細に説明する。 Subsequently, in the register 1 according to the first embodiment, the case where the air blowing direction is adjusted up and down will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
（通常状態における連結機構部の状態）
　はじめに、各水平フィン１０の前端と後端が同じ高さとなる通常状態である場合について、図１１を参照しつつ説明する。通常状態にある場合、操作ノブ３０のノブ本体４０は、中央水平フィン１０Ａと共に、ノブ本体４０の前端と後端が同じ高さとなる状態となっている。 (The state of the coupling mechanism in the normal state)
First, the case where the front end and the rear end of each horizontal fin 10 are in the normal state where they are the same height will be described with reference to FIG. When in the normal state, the knob body 40 of the operation knob 30 is in a state where the front end and the rear end of the knob body 40 are at the same height together with the central horizontal fin 10A.
　ここで、第１実施形態における操作ノブ３０においては、上述したように、アーム部材５０は、ノブ本体４０の後端部において、上下方向に回動可能に軸支されており、湾曲アーム５２の後端部に上側接触片５３及び下側接触片５６を有している。従って、アーム部材５０は、ノブ本体４０の後端部において、アーム回動軸５１を軸に回動可能な状態にあり、上側張出部２７と下側張出部２８の間の切欠部２５内には、上側接触片５３及び下側接触片５６が位置している。 Here, in the operation knob 30 in the first embodiment, as described above, the arm member 50 is pivotally supported at the rear end portion of the knob body 40 so as to be pivotable in the vertical direction, and An upper contact piece 53 and a lower contact piece 56 are provided at the rear end. Accordingly, the arm member 50 is in a state of being rotatable about the arm rotation shaft 51 at the rear end portion of the knob body 40, and the cutout portion 25 between the upper projecting portion 27 and the lower projecting portion 28. Inside, the upper contact piece 53 and the lower contact piece 56 are located.
（下方回動状態における連結機構部の状態）
　次に、複数の水平フィン１０を水平状態から下方回動状態に変更し、空気の吹出方向を下向きに調整する場合について説明する。 (The state of the connecting mechanism in the downward rotation state)
Next, a case where the plurality of horizontal fins 10 are changed from the horizontal state to the downward rotation state and the air blowing direction is adjusted downward will be described.
　複数の水平フィン１０を下方回動状態に調整する場合、使用者は、操作ノブ３０を用いて、中央水平フィン１０Ａを下方向に回動させ、水平フィン本体１１の前端が下側に、後端が上側になるように調整する。この中央水平フィン１０Ａの回動に連動して、他の水平フィン１０も同様に、水平フィン本体１１の前端が下側に、後端が上側になるように回動する。これにより、当該レジスタ１によれば、操作ノブ３０を下方向に回動させることで、空気の吹出方向を、所望の下方向に調整することができる（図１２参照）。 When adjusting the plurality of horizontal fins 10 to the downward rotation state, the user uses the operation knob 30 to rotate the central horizontal fin 10A downward so that the front end of the horizontal fin body 11 is on the lower side and the rear side. Adjust so that the edge is on the top. In conjunction with the rotation of the central horizontal fin 10A, the other horizontal fins 10 are similarly rotated so that the front end of the horizontal fin body 11 is on the lower side and the rear end is on the upper side. Thereby, according to the said register | resistor 1, the blowing direction of air can be adjusted to a desired downward direction by rotating the operation knob 30 below (refer FIG. 12).
　この時、中央水平フィン１０Ａの回動に伴って、軸保持部４２が形成されているノブ本体４０の後端側が、通常状態の位置から斜め前方上側に移動する為、アーム部材５０は、アーム回動軸５１を軸に回動しながら前方に移動し、上側接触片５３及び下側接触片５６も連動して前方へ移動していく。図１２、図１３に示すように、水平フィン１０を限界まで下方へ回動させると、上側接触片５３における上側接触部５４の一部のみが、中央垂直フィン２０Ａの上側張出部２７下面と当接する。尚、この時、中央垂直フィン２０Ａの下側張出部２８上面と、下側接触片５６の下端面との間には、所定の隙間が形成されている。 At this time, as the central horizontal fin 10A rotates, the rear end side of the knob body 40 in which the shaft holding portion 42 is formed moves obliquely forward from the normal position. The upper contact piece 53 and the lower contact piece 56 move forward in conjunction with each other while moving about the rotation axis 51. As shown in FIGS. 12 and 13, when the horizontal fin 10 is rotated downward to the limit, only a part of the upper contact portion 54 of the upper contact piece 53 is in contact with the lower surface of the upper overhanging portion 27 of the central vertical fin 20 </ b> A. Abut. At this time, a predetermined gap is formed between the upper surface of the lower protruding portion 28 of the central vertical fin 20 </ b> A and the lower end surface of the lower contact piece 56.
　上述したように、上側接触片５３は、側面視において、上側張出部２７側に突出する円弧を描くように湾曲している為、上側接触片５３と上側張出部２７との間の距離は、湾曲アーム５２の先端に比べて十分に小さい。従って、当該レジスタ１によれば、複数の水平フィン１０を下方回動状態に調整する場合に、上側接触片５３が上側張出部２７の下面と当接する際の異音の音量を低減することができる。 As described above, the upper contact piece 53 is curved so as to draw an arc projecting toward the upper overhanging portion 27 in a side view, and therefore the distance between the upper contact piece 53 and the upper overhanging portion 27. Is sufficiently smaller than the tip of the curved arm 52. Therefore, according to the register 1, when adjusting the plurality of horizontal fins 10 to the downward rotation state, it is possible to reduce the volume of abnormal noise when the upper contact piece 53 contacts the lower surface of the upper overhanging portion 27. Can do.
　又、上側接触片５３は、湾曲アーム５２の先端から円弧を描くように突出形成されている為、上側張出部２７に対して上側接触片５３が接触した場合の衝撃を、当該上側接触片５３の弾性変形によって吸収することができる。即ち、当該レジスタ１によれば、この点においても、複数の水平フィン１０を下方回動状態に調整する場合に、上側接触片５３が上側張出部２７の下面と当接する際の異音の音量を低減することができる。 Further, since the upper contact piece 53 is formed so as to draw an arc from the tip of the bending arm 52, an impact when the upper contact piece 53 comes into contact with the upper projecting portion 27 is applied to the upper contact piece 53. 53 can be absorbed by elastic deformation. That is, according to the register 1, also in this point, when the plurality of horizontal fins 10 are adjusted to the downward rotation state, the abnormal noise generated when the upper contact piece 53 comes into contact with the lower surface of the upper overhanging portion 27. Volume can be reduced.
　図１３に示すように、中央垂直フィン２０Ａの上側張出部２７下面に対して、上側接触片５３における上側接触部５４の一部のみが当接する。即ち、当該レジスタ１によれば、上側張出部２７に対して上側接触片５３が接触する際の接触面積を小さくすることができるので、上側張出部２７に対して、アーム部材５０が接触することで生じる異音の音量を低減し得る。 As shown in FIG. 13, only a part of the upper contact portion 54 of the upper contact piece 53 contacts the lower surface of the upper overhang portion 27 of the central vertical fin 20A. That is, according to the register 1, the contact area when the upper contact piece 53 comes into contact with the upper overhanging portion 27 can be reduced, so that the arm member 50 comes into contact with the upper overhanging portion 27. By doing so, it is possible to reduce the volume of abnormal noise generated.
（上方回動状態における連結機構部の状態）
　続いて、複数の水平フィン１０を水平状態から上方回動状態に変更し、空気の吹出方向を上向きに調整する場合について説明する。 (The state of the connecting mechanism in the upward rotation state)
Subsequently, the case where the plurality of horizontal fins 10 are changed from the horizontal state to the upward rotation state and the air blowing direction is adjusted upward will be described.
　複数の水平フィン１０を上方回動状態に調整する場合、使用者は、操作ノブ３０を用いて、中央水平フィン１０Ａを上方向に回動させ、水平フィン本体１１の前端が上側に、後端が下側になるように調整する。この中央水平フィン１０Ａの回動に連動して、他の水平フィン１０も同様に、水平フィン本体１１の前端が上側に、後端が下側になるように回動する。これにより、当該レジスタ１によれば、操作ノブ３０を上方向に回動させることで、空気の吹出方向を、所望の上方向に調整することができる（図１４参照）。 When adjusting the plurality of horizontal fins 10 to the upward rotation state, the user rotates the central horizontal fin 10 </ b> A upward using the operation knob 30 so that the front end of the horizontal fin body 11 is on the upper side and the rear end. Adjust so that is at the bottom. In conjunction with the rotation of the central horizontal fin 10A, the other horizontal fins 10 are similarly rotated so that the front end of the horizontal fin body 11 is on the upper side and the rear end is on the lower side. Thereby, according to the said register | resistor 1, the blowing direction of air can be adjusted to a desired upward direction by rotating the operation knob 30 upwards (refer FIG. 14).
　この時、中央水平フィン１０Ａの回動に伴って、軸保持部４２が形成されているノブ本体４０の後端側が、通常状態の位置から斜め前方下側に移動する為、アーム部材５０は、アーム回動軸５１を軸に回動しながら前方に移動し、上側接触片５３及び下側接触片５６も連動して前方へ移動していく。 At this time, as the central horizontal fin 10A rotates, the rear end side of the knob main body 40 on which the shaft holding portion 42 is formed moves obliquely forward and downward from the position in the normal state. The upper contact piece 53 and the lower contact piece 56 move forward in conjunction with each other while moving about the arm rotation shaft 51 as an axis.
　ここで、アーム部材５０の各湾曲アーム５２は、上方に向かって突出するように湾曲している為、湾曲アーム５２が下側張出部２８の前端上面に干渉することはない。従って、水平フィン１０を上方に回動させ得る範囲が、下側張出部２８とアーム部材５０の接触によって制限されることはなく、操作ノブ３０による操作性を維持することができる。 Here, since each curved arm 52 of the arm member 50 is curved so as to protrude upward, the curved arm 52 does not interfere with the upper surface of the front end of the lower projecting portion 28. Therefore, the range in which the horizontal fin 10 can be rotated upward is not limited by the contact between the lower projecting portion 28 and the arm member 50, and the operability by the operation knob 30 can be maintained.
　図１４、図１５に示すように、水平フィン１０を限界まで上方へ回動させると、下側接触片５６における下側接触部５７の一部のみが、中央垂直フィン２０Ａの下側張出部２８上面と当接する。尚、この時、中央垂直フィン２０Ａの上側張出部２７上面と、上側接触片５３の上端面との間には、所定の隙間が形成されている。 As shown in FIGS. 14 and 15, when the horizontal fin 10 is rotated upward to the limit, only a part of the lower contact portion 57 of the lower contact piece 56 becomes the lower protruding portion of the central vertical fin 20 </ b> A. 28 is in contact with the upper surface. At this time, a predetermined gap is formed between the upper surface of the upper protruding portion 27 of the central vertical fin 20 </ b> A and the upper end surface of the upper contact piece 53.
　そして、下側接触片５６は、側面視において、下側張出部２８側に突出する円弧を描くように湾曲している為、下側接触片５６と下側張出部２８との間の距離は、湾曲アーム５２の先端に比べて十分に小さい。従って、当該レジスタ１によれば、複数の水平フィン１０を上方回動状態に調整する場合に、下側接触片５６が下側張出部２８の上面と当接する際の異音の音量を低減することができる。 Since the lower contact piece 56 is curved so as to draw an arc that protrudes toward the lower projecting portion 28 in a side view, the lower contact piece 56 is located between the lower contact piece 56 and the lower projecting portion 28. The distance is sufficiently smaller than the tip of the curved arm 52. Therefore, according to the register 1, when adjusting the plurality of horizontal fins 10 to the upward rotation state, the volume of abnormal noise when the lower contact piece 56 contacts the upper surface of the lower overhanging portion 28 is reduced. can do.
　又、下側接触片５６は、湾曲アーム５２の先端から円弧を描くように突出形成されている為、下側張出部２８に対して下側接触片５６が接触した場合の衝撃を、当該下側接触片５６の弾性変形によって吸収することができる。即ち、当該レジスタ１によれば、この点においても、複数の水平フィン１０を上方回動状態に調整する場合に、下側接触片５６が下側張出部２８の上面と当接する際の異音の音量を低減することができる。 Further, since the lower contact piece 56 is formed so as to draw an arc from the tip of the bending arm 52, the impact when the lower contact piece 56 comes into contact with the lower projecting portion 28 is It can be absorbed by elastic deformation of the lower contact piece 56. That is, according to the register 1, also in this respect, when the plurality of horizontal fins 10 are adjusted to the upward rotation state, the difference between the lower contact piece 56 and the upper surface of the lower projecting portion 28 is different. The sound volume can be reduced.
　図１５に示すように、中央垂直フィン２０Ａの下側張出部２８上面に対して、下側接触片５６における下側接触部５７の一部のみが当接する。即ち、当該レジスタ１によれば、下側張出部２８に対して下側接触片５６が接触する際の接触面積を小さくすることができるので、下側張出部２８に対して、アーム部材５０が接触することで生じる異音の音量を低減し得る。 As shown in FIG. 15, only a part of the lower contact portion 57 of the lower contact piece 56 contacts the upper surface of the lower overhang portion 28 of the central vertical fin 20A. That is, according to the register 1, the contact area when the lower contact piece 56 comes into contact with the lower projecting portion 28 can be reduced. It is possible to reduce the volume of abnormal noise generated when 50 contacts.
　図１１乃至図１５に示すように、第１実施形態におけるレジスタ１によれば、操作ノブ３０を操作して複数の水平フィン１０を上下方向に回動させる何れの過程においても、上側張出部２７と上側接触片５３の間、又は、下側張出部２８と下側接触片５６の間の何れか一方に隙間が形成される。従って、当該レジスタ１によれば、操作ノブ３０を操作して複数の水平フィン１０を上下方向に回動させる操作に際して、アーム部材５０との間に大きな摩擦抵抗が生じることはなく、空気の吹出方向を上下に調整する際の操作性を良好に維持することができる。 As shown in FIGS. 11 to 15, according to the register 1 in the first embodiment, the upper projecting portion is used in any process of operating the operation knob 30 to rotate the plurality of horizontal fins 10 in the vertical direction. A gap is formed between the upper contact piece 53 and the upper contact piece 53 or between the lower projecting portion 28 and the lower contact piece 56. Therefore, according to the register 1, when the operation knob 30 is operated to rotate the plurality of horizontal fins 10 in the vertical direction, a large frictional resistance is not generated between the arm member 50 and the air blowout. The operability when adjusting the direction up and down can be maintained well.
　又、上側接触片５３及び下側接触片５６は、アーム部材５０における湾曲アーム５２を基準として、夫々、上側張出部２７及び下側張出部２８に近づくような円弧を描くように形成されている為、アーム部材５０に対する上側張出部２７、下側張出部２８の距離を短くすることができる。従って、操作ノブ３０を操作して複数の水平フィン１０を上下方向に回動させる場合に、上側張出部２７、下側張出部２８に接触するまでにアーム部材５０が移動する距離を短くすることができる為、両者の接触に起因する異音の大きさを低減することができる。 The upper contact piece 53 and the lower contact piece 56 are formed so as to draw arcs that approach the upper projecting portion 27 and the lower projecting portion 28, respectively, with the curved arm 52 of the arm member 50 as a reference. Therefore, the distance between the upper projecting portion 27 and the lower projecting portion 28 with respect to the arm member 50 can be shortened. Accordingly, when the operation knob 30 is operated to rotate the plurality of horizontal fins 10 in the up and down direction, the distance that the arm member 50 moves before contacting the upper projecting portion 27 and the lower projecting portion 28 is shortened. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the size of abnormal noise resulting from the contact between the two.
　以上説明したように、第１実施形態に係るレジスタ１では、リテーナ２と、ベゼル５と、複数の水平フィン１０と、複数の垂直フィン２０と、操作ノブ３０とを有しており、操作ノブ３０を用いて、水平フィン１０、垂直フィン２０を回動させることによって、吹き出される空気の流れを所望の方向に調整可能に構成されている。 As described above, the register 1 according to the first embodiment includes the retainer 2, the bezel 5, the plurality of horizontal fins 10, the plurality of vertical fins 20, and the operation knob 30. 30, the horizontal fin 10 and the vertical fin 20 are rotated to adjust the flow of the blown air in a desired direction.
　図３乃至図７に示すように、操作ノブ３０は、中央水平フィン１０Ａに対してスライド可能に取り付けられたノブ本体４０と、ノブ本体４０の後部に対して垂直方向に回動可能に取り付けられ、中央垂直フィン２０Ａと連結される二股状のアーム部材５０と、を有している。そして、中央垂直フィン２０Ａは、前方部分が開口された切欠部２５と、連結シャフト２６と、上側張出部２７と、下側張出部２８とを有しており、連結シャフト２６は前記二股状のアーム部材５０の間に配置され、切欠部２５の周縁における前端部を上下方向に連結している。 As shown in FIGS. 3 to 7, the operation knob 30 is attached to a knob body 40 slidably attached to the central horizontal fin 10 </ b> A and to a rear portion of the knob body 40 so as to be vertically rotatable. A bifurcated arm member 50 connected to the central vertical fin 20A. The central vertical fin 20A includes a notch 25 having an open front portion, a connecting shaft 26, an upper projecting portion 27, and a lower projecting portion 28. The connecting shaft 26 has the bifurcated portion. It arrange | positions between the shaped arm members 50, and has connected the front-end part in the periphery of the notch part 25 to an up-down direction.
　図８乃至図１０に示すように、アーム部材５０の後端部において、二股状に形成された湾曲アーム５２の先端から伸びる上側接触片５３及び下側接触片５６が形成されている。上側接触片５３は、当該湾曲アーム５２の先端から伸びており、前記上側張出部２７側に突出するように湾曲している。又、下側接触片５６は、当該湾曲アーム５２の先端における前記上側接触片５３よりも下方から伸びており、前記下側張出部２８側に突出するように湾曲している。 As shown in FIGS. 8 to 10, an upper contact piece 53 and a lower contact piece 56 are formed at the rear end portion of the arm member 50 so as to extend from the tip of the forked arm 52 formed in a bifurcated shape. The upper contact piece 53 extends from the tip of the bending arm 52 and is curved so as to protrude toward the upper projecting portion 27. The lower contact piece 56 extends from below the upper contact piece 53 at the tip of the bending arm 52 and is curved so as to protrude toward the lower projecting portion 28.
　従って、当該レジスタ１によれば、中央垂直フィン２０Ａにおける上側張出部２７及び下側張出部２８と、アーム部材５０の後端部（即ち、上側接触片５３及び下側接触片５６）との間の距離を小さくすることができる。これにより、当該レジスタ１によれば、操作ノブ３０の操作に伴って、アーム部材５０が垂直方向に回動した場合であっても、上側張出部２７又は下側張出部２８に対して、アーム部材５０が接触することで生じる異音の音量を小さくすることができる。 Therefore, according to the register 1, the upper projecting portion 27 and the lower projecting portion 28 in the central vertical fin 20A, and the rear end portions of the arm member 50 (that is, the upper contact piece 53 and the lower contact piece 56). The distance between can be reduced. Thereby, according to the said register 1, even if it is a case where the arm member 50 rotates to the orthogonal | vertical direction with operation of the operation knob 30, it is with respect to the upper side overhang | projection part 27 or the lower side overhang | projection part 28. The volume of abnormal noise generated by the contact of the arm member 50 can be reduced.
　又、上側接触片５３及び下側接触部５７片は、アーム部材５０における湾曲アーム５２の先端から夫々伸びている為、上側接触片５３と上側張出部２７とが接触した場合や、下側接触片５６と下側張出部２８とが接触した場合における衝撃を、上側接触片５３、下側接触片５６によって吸収することができ、もって、上側張出部２７又は下側張出部２８に対して、アーム部材５０が接触することで生じる異音を低減し得る。
　また、アーム部材５０は、２つの湾曲状の上側接触片５３と下側接触片５６とを有し、プレート状部材の中央部から肉抜きをした構成を有するので、アーム部材５０の軽量化を図ることができ、また、アーム部材５０の軽量化に基づき上側接触片５３又は下側接触片５６と上側張出部２７又は下側張出部２８とが接触する際の衝撃を小さくして接触時の異音を低減することができる。 Further, since the upper contact piece 53 and the lower contact portion 57 piece respectively extend from the tip of the curved arm 52 in the arm member 50, the upper contact piece 53 and the upper projecting portion 27 come into contact with each other, or the lower side The impact when the contact piece 56 and the lower overhanging portion 28 come into contact with each other can be absorbed by the upper contact piece 53 and the lower contact piece 56, and thus the upper overhanging portion 27 or the lower overhanging portion 28. On the other hand, it is possible to reduce abnormal noise caused by the arm member 50 contacting.
In addition, the arm member 50 has two curved upper contact pieces 53 and a lower contact piece 56, and has a structure in which the central portion of the plate-like member is cut out, so that the weight of the arm member 50 can be reduced. In addition, it is possible to reduce the impact when the upper contact piece 53 or the lower contact piece 56 comes into contact with the upper projecting portion 27 or the lower projecting portion 28 based on the weight reduction of the arm member 50. Abnormal noise at the time can be reduced.
　図１０等に示すように、上側接触片５３の上面は、前記上側張出部２７に近づく上方側ほど、その左右方向の寸法が狭まるように形成されており、その頂点部分によって、上側接触部５４が構成されている。そして、下側接触部５７の下面は、前記下側張出部２８に近づく下方側ほど、その左右方向の寸法が狭まるように形成されており、その頂点部分によって、下側接触部５７が構成されている。 As shown in FIG. 10 and the like, the upper surface of the upper contact piece 53 is formed such that the dimension in the left-right direction becomes narrower toward the upper side closer to the upper projecting portion 27, and the upper contact portion is formed by the apex portion. 54 is configured. The lower surface of the lower contact portion 57 is formed such that the lateral dimension thereof is narrowed toward the lower side closer to the lower overhanging portion 28, and the lower contact portion 57 is configured by the apex portion. Has been.
　即ち、当該レジスタ１によれば、上側接触部５４によって、上側張出部２７に対して上側接触片５３が接触する際の接触面積を小さくすると共に、下側接触部５７によって、下側張出部２８に対して下側接触片５６が接触する際の接触面積を小さくすることができる。これにより、当該レジスタ１は、上側張出部２７又は下側張出部２８に対して、アーム部材５０が接触することで生じる異音を低減し得る。 That is, according to the register 1, the upper contact portion 54 reduces the contact area when the upper contact piece 53 contacts the upper overhang portion 27, and the lower contact portion 57 lowers the lower overhang portion 27. The contact area when the lower contact piece 56 comes into contact with the portion 28 can be reduced. As a result, the register 1 can reduce noise generated when the arm member 50 contacts the upper projecting portion 27 or the lower projecting portion 28.
　そして、前記上側接触片５３の先端部には、上側テーパ部５５が形成され、前記下側接触片５６の先端部には、下側テーパ部５８が形成されている（図９参照）。上側テーパ部５５は、上側接触片５３の上面を構成しており、前記上側接触片５３の基端側に向かう程、前記上側張出部２７側に近づくように傾斜している。下側テーパ部５８は、下側接触片５６の下面を構成しており、前記下側接触片５６の基端側に向かう程、前記下側張出部２８側に近づくように傾斜している。これにより、当該レジスタ１を組み立てる場合に、上側接触片５３の上側テーパ部５５と下側接触片５６の下側テーパ部５８との間に、他の構成部材、例えば、上側張出部２７の一部又は下側張出部２８の一部が入ってしまうことを防止することができ、レジスタ１の生産効率を向上させることができる。 An upper taper portion 55 is formed at the tip of the upper contact piece 53, and a lower taper portion 58 is formed at the tip of the lower contact piece 56 (see FIG. 9). The upper taper portion 55 constitutes the upper surface of the upper contact piece 53, and is inclined so as to approach the upper overhanging portion 27 side toward the proximal end side of the upper contact piece 53. The lower taper portion 58 constitutes the lower surface of the lower contact piece 56 and is inclined so as to approach the lower projecting portion 28 side toward the proximal end side of the lower contact piece 56. . Accordingly, when the register 1 is assembled, another component member, for example, the upper overhanging portion 27, is interposed between the upper tapered portion 55 of the upper contact piece 53 and the lower tapered portion 58 of the lower contact piece 56. It is possible to prevent a part or a part of the lower projecting portion 28 from entering, and the production efficiency of the register 1 can be improved.
　続いて、第２実施形態に係るレジスタについて、図１６乃至図２６を参照しつつ説明する。尚、第２実施形態に係るレジスタは、前記した第１実施形態に係るレジスタ１と基本的に同一の構成を有しており、第１実施形態のレジスタと第２実施形態のレジスタとは、操作ノブに連結されるアーム部材の構成のみが異なっているだけである。
　従って、以下の説明においては、アーム部材の構成上の相違点に着目して説明することとし、その他の構成における各構成要素・部材には第１実施形態におけると同一の符号を付するとともに、その詳細な説明を省略するものとする。 Next, a register according to the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The register according to the second embodiment has basically the same configuration as the register 1 according to the first embodiment, and the register according to the first embodiment and the register according to the second embodiment are: Only the configuration of the arm member connected to the operation knob is different.
Therefore, in the following description, the description will be made by paying attention to the difference in configuration of the arm member, and the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment are attached to the respective components and members in the other configurations, Detailed description thereof will be omitted.
　以下、第２実施形態に係るレジスタ１に使用されているアーム部材１５０の特徴的構成について説明する。
（アーム部材の構成）
　アーム部材１５０は、図１６、図１７、図１９乃至図２１等に示すように、ノブ本体４０の後端部において、垂直方向に回動可能に取り付けられるアーム回動軸１５１、アーム回動軸１５１から二股状に延設された一対の湾曲アーム１５２、及び、各湾曲アーム１５２の後端部における下側面からリング状に一対の形成されたリング状部材１５３を有している。かかる各リング状部材１５３において、その自由端部１５４と各湾曲アーム１５２の上側面１５５との間にはスリット部１５６が形成されている。
　ここに、アーム部材１５０における二股状の各湾曲アーム１５２の間に、中央垂直フィン２０Ａの連結シャフト２６が係合し、これによりノブ本体４０のスライド移動に伴う力が中央垂直フィン２０Ａに対して伝達される。 Hereinafter, a characteristic configuration of the arm member 150 used in the register 1 according to the second embodiment will be described.
(Configuration of arm member)
As shown in FIGS. 16, 17, 19 to 21, the arm member 150 includes an arm rotation shaft 151 and an arm rotation shaft that are attached to the rear end portion of the knob body 40 so as to be rotatable in the vertical direction. It has a pair of curved arms 152 extending in a bifurcated manner from 151, and a pair of ring-shaped members 153 formed in a ring shape from the lower surface at the rear end of each curved arm 152. In each ring-shaped member 153, a slit portion 156 is formed between the free end portion 154 and the upper side surface 155 of each curved arm 152.
Here, the connecting shaft 26 of the central vertical fin 20A is engaged between the bifurcated curved arms 152 of the arm member 150, whereby the force accompanying the sliding movement of the knob body 40 is applied to the central vertical fin 20A. Communicated.
　アーム回動軸１５１は、アーム部材１５０の前端部の外側部分に、左右方向に突出するように形成されており、左右両側のアーム回動軸１５１が同軸上に位置している。図３等に示すように、アーム回動軸１５１は、ノブ本体４０後端部に形成された軸保持部４２によって、回動自在に保持されている。これにより、アーム部材１５０は、ノブ本体４０に対して、アーム回動軸１５１を中心として垂直方向へ回動可能に連結されている。 The arm rotation shaft 151 is formed on the outer portion of the front end portion of the arm member 150 so as to protrude in the left-right direction, and the left and right arm rotation shafts 151 are coaxially positioned. As shown in FIG. 3 and the like, the arm rotation shaft 151 is rotatably held by a shaft holding portion 42 formed at the rear end portion of the knob body 40. Thereby, the arm member 150 is connected to the knob body 40 so as to be rotatable in the vertical direction around the arm rotation shaft 151.
　二股状の湾曲アーム１５２は、アーム回動軸１５１の左右方向中央部分において、左右方向に間隔を空けて形成されており、アーム部材１５０の前端部から後方に向かって延びている。図２０、図２１に示すように、湾曲アーム１５２は、アーム回動軸１５１から後方に向かって延びる途中で下方に向かって一度湾曲した後、その後方において上方に向かって湾曲している。二股状に形成された湾曲アーム１５２の間には、中央垂直フィン２０Ａの連結シャフト２６が配置される（図３、図１６乃至図１９参照）。換言すれば、一対の湾曲アーム１５２は、連結シャフト２６を挟んで左右両側に配設される。 The bifurcated curved arm 152 is formed at a central portion in the left-right direction of the arm rotation shaft 151 with a space in the left-right direction, and extends rearward from the front end portion of the arm member 150. As shown in FIGS. 20 and 21, the bending arm 152 is once bent downward while being extended rearward from the arm rotation shaft 151, and then bent upward at the rear thereof. The connecting shaft 26 of the central vertical fin 20A is disposed between the curved arms 152 formed in a bifurcated shape (see FIGS. 3 and 16 to 19). In other words, the pair of bending arms 152 are disposed on both the left and right sides with the connecting shaft 26 interposed therebetween.
　従って、操作ノブ３０がスライド移動すると、ノブ本体４０と共に、アーム部材１５０も移動する為、湾曲アーム１５２は、中央垂直フィン２０Ａの連結シャフト２６を押圧する。そして、この連結シャフト２６の押圧に伴って、中央垂直フィン２０Ａが左右方向へ回動し、これにより他の垂直フィン２０も、連動して左右方向に回動する。 Therefore, when the operation knob 30 is slid, the arm member 150 is moved together with the knob body 40, so that the bending arm 152 presses the connecting shaft 26 of the central vertical fin 20A. As the connecting shaft 26 is pressed, the central vertical fin 20A rotates in the left-right direction, and thereby the other vertical fins 20 also rotate in the left-right direction in conjunction with each other.
　尚、第２実施形態においては、中央水平フィン１０Ａの上下方向への回動に伴って、操作ノブ３０も上下方向に回動するが、一対の湾曲アーム１５２の間に、上下方向に延びる連結シャフト２６が配置されている為、湾曲アーム１５２が、操作ノブ３０の上下方向への回動に伴って、連結シャフト２６に接触することはない。従って、操作ノブ３０の上下方向に対する回動は、複数の垂直フィン２０を左右方向へ回動させることはない。 In the second embodiment, as the central horizontal fin 10 </ b> A rotates in the vertical direction, the operation knob 30 also rotates in the vertical direction, but the connection extending in the vertical direction between the pair of curved arms 152. Since the shaft 26 is disposed, the bending arm 152 does not come into contact with the connecting shaft 26 as the operation knob 30 is rotated in the vertical direction. Therefore, the rotation of the operation knob 30 in the vertical direction does not rotate the plurality of vertical fins 20 in the left-right direction.
　各湾曲アーム１５２の後端部における下側面から上方に向かってリング状に形成されたリング状部材１５３を有しており、かかるリング状部材１５３の上面１５７は、図１６、図１７、図１９に示すように、上側張出部２７側に対向しており、また、リング状部材１５３の下面１５８は、下側張出部２８に対向している。 Each of the curved arms 152 has a ring-shaped member 153 formed in a ring shape upward from the lower side surface at the rear end portion, and the upper surface 157 of the ring-shaped member 153 is shown in FIGS. As shown in FIG. 6, the upper projecting portion 27 faces the lower surface 158, and the lower surface 158 of the ring-shaped member 153 faces the lower projecting portion 28.
　また、図２０、図２２、図２４、図２６に示すように、リング状部材１５３の厚さは周縁部に近接するに従ってテーパ状に薄く形成され、また、リング状部材１５３の周端面は断面視で三角形状に形成されている。これより、上側張出部２７に対してリング状部材１５３の上面１５７が接触する際の接触面積を小さくすると共に、下側張出部２８に対してリング状部材１５３の下面１５８部が接触する際の接触面積を小さくすることができる。これにより、リング状部材１５３が上側張出部２７又は下側張出部２８に対して接触する際に生じる異音を低減することができる。 Further, as shown in FIGS. 20, 22, 24, and 26, the thickness of the ring-shaped member 153 is formed so as to be tapered toward the periphery, and the peripheral end surface of the ring-shaped member 153 is a cross-section. It is formed in a triangular shape as viewed. Accordingly, the contact area when the upper surface 157 of the ring-shaped member 153 contacts the upper projecting portion 27 is reduced, and the lower surface 158 of the ring-shaped member 153 contacts the lower projecting portion 28. The contact area at the time can be reduced. Thereby, the abnormal noise which arises when the ring-shaped member 153 contacts with respect to the upper side overhang | projection part 27 or the lower side overhang | projection part 28 can be reduced.
（レジスタの動作）
　続いて、上述のように構成された第２実施形態に係るレジスタ１において、シャッタ４を開けた状態で空気の吹出方向を上下左右に調整する方法について説明する。先ず、空気の吹出方向を左右に調整する場合について説明する。この場合、使用者は、中央水平フィン１０Ａに沿って、操作ノブ３０を左右方向にスライド移動させる。これにより、操作ノブ３０の移動力がアーム部材１５０の湾曲アーム１５２から、連結シャフト２６を介して、中央垂直フィン２０Ａに伝達される。これにより、中央垂直フィン２０Ａが左右方向に回動する為、他の垂直フィン２０は、各リンク支持軸２４及びリンク部材６０を介して、それに連動して左右方向に回動する。これにより、当該レジスタ１によれば、操作ノブ３０を左右方向にスライド移動させることで、空気の吹出方向を、所望の方向へ左右に調整することができる。 (Register operation)
Subsequently, in the register 1 according to the second embodiment configured as described above, a method of adjusting the air blowing direction vertically and horizontally with the shutter 4 opened will be described. First, the case where the air blowing direction is adjusted to the right and left will be described. In this case, the user slides the operation knob 30 in the left-right direction along the central horizontal fin 10A. Thereby, the moving force of the operation knob 30 is transmitted from the curved arm 152 of the arm member 150 to the central vertical fin 20 </ b> A via the connection shaft 26. Accordingly, since the central vertical fin 20A rotates in the left-right direction, the other vertical fins 20 rotate in the left-right direction in conjunction with the link support shafts 24 and the link members 60. Thereby, according to the said register | resistor 1, the blowing direction of air can be adjusted right and left to a desired direction by sliding the operation knob 30 to the left and right direction.
　続いて、第２実施形態に係るレジスタ１において、空気の吹出方向を上下に調整する場合について、図面を参照しつつ詳細に説明する。 Subsequently, in the register 1 according to the second embodiment, the case where the air blowing direction is adjusted up and down will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
（通常状態における連結機構部の状態）
　はじめに、各水平フィン１０の前端と後端が同じ高さとなる通常状態である場合について、図１６を参照しつつ説明する。通常状態にある場合、操作ノブ３０のノブ本体４０は、中央水平フィン１０Ａと共に、ノブ本体４０の前端と後端が同じ高さとなる状態となっている。 (The state of the coupling mechanism in the normal state)
First, the case of the normal state where the front end and the rear end of each horizontal fin 10 are the same height will be described with reference to FIG. When in the normal state, the knob body 40 of the operation knob 30 is in a state where the front end and the rear end of the knob body 40 are at the same height together with the central horizontal fin 10A.
　ここで、第２実施形態における操作ノブ３０においては、上述したように、アーム部材１５０は、ノブ本体４０の後端部において、上下方向に回動可能に軸支されており、湾曲アーム１５２の後端部に一体に形成されたリング状部材１５３を有している。従って、アーム部材１５０は、ノブ本体４０の後端部において、アーム回動軸１５１を軸に回動可能な状態にあり、上側張出部２７と下側張出部２８の間の切欠部２５内には、リング状部材１５３の上面１５７及び下面１５８が位置している。 Here, in the operation knob 30 in the second embodiment, as described above, the arm member 150 is pivotally supported at the rear end portion of the knob body 40 so as to be pivotable in the vertical direction. A ring-shaped member 153 formed integrally with the rear end portion is provided. Therefore, the arm member 150 is rotatable at the rear end portion of the knob body 40 around the arm rotation shaft 151, and the cutout portion 25 between the upper projecting portion 27 and the lower projecting portion 28. Inside, the upper surface 157 and the lower surface 158 of the ring-shaped member 153 are located.
（下方回動状態における連結機構部の状態）
　次に、複数の水平フィン１０を水平状態から下方回動状態に変更し、空気の吹出方向を下向きに調整する場合について説明する。 (The state of the connecting mechanism in the downward rotation state)
Next, a case where the plurality of horizontal fins 10 are changed from the horizontal state to the downward rotation state and the air blowing direction is adjusted downward will be described.
　複数の水平フィン１０を下方回動状態に調整する場合、使用者は、操作ノブ３０を用いて、中央水平フィン１０Ａを下方向に回動させ、水平フィン本体１１の前端が下側に、後端が上側になるように調整する。この中央水平フィン１０Ａの回動に連動して、他の水平フィン１０も同様に、水平フィン本体１１の前端が下側に、後端が上側になるように回動する。これにより、第２実施形態のレジスタ１によれば、操作ノブ３０を下方向に回動させることで、空気の吹出方向を、所望の下方向に調整することができる（図２３参照）。 When adjusting the plurality of horizontal fins 10 to the downward rotation state, the user uses the operation knob 30 to rotate the central horizontal fin 10A downward so that the front end of the horizontal fin body 11 is on the lower side and the rear side. Adjust so that the edge is on the top. In conjunction with the rotation of the central horizontal fin 10A, the other horizontal fins 10 are similarly rotated so that the front end of the horizontal fin body 11 is on the lower side and the rear end is on the upper side. Thereby, according to the register | resistor 1 of 2nd Embodiment, the blowing direction of air can be adjusted to a desired downward direction by rotating the operation knob 30 downward (refer FIG. 23).
　この時、中央水平フィン１０Ａの回動に伴って、軸保持部４２が形成されているノブ本体４０の後端側が、通常状態の位置から斜め前方上側に移動する為、アーム部材１５０は、アーム回動軸１５１を軸に回動しながら前方に移動し、リング状部材１５３の上面１５７及び下面１５８も連動して前方へ移動していく。図２３、図２４に示すように、水平フィン１０を限界まで下方へ回動させると、リング状部材１５３の上面１５７の一部のみが、中央垂直フィン２０Ａの上側張出部２７下面と当接する。尚、この時、中央垂直フィン２０Ａの下側張出部２８上面と、リング状部材１５３の下面１５８との間には、所定の隙間が形成されている。 At this time, as the central horizontal fin 10A is rotated, the rear end side of the knob body 40 in which the shaft holding portion 42 is formed moves obliquely forward and upward from the normal position. It moves forward while rotating about the rotation shaft 151, and the upper surface 157 and the lower surface 158 of the ring-shaped member 153 also move forward in conjunction with each other. As shown in FIGS. 23 and 24, when the horizontal fin 10 is rotated downward to the limit, only a part of the upper surface 157 of the ring-shaped member 153 comes into contact with the lower surface of the upper overhanging portion 27 of the central vertical fin 20A. . At this time, a predetermined gap is formed between the upper surface of the lower projecting portion 28 of the central vertical fin 20A and the lower surface 158 of the ring-shaped member 153.
　上述したように、リング状部材１５３の上面１５７は、側面視において、上側張出部２７側に突出する円弧を描くように湾曲している為、リング状部材の上面と上側張出部２７との間の距離は、湾曲アーム１５２の先端に比べて十分に小さい。従って、前記レジスタ１によれば、複数の水平フィン１０を下方回動状態に調整する場合に、リング状部材１５３の上面１５７が上側張出部２７の下面と当接する際の異音の音量を低減することができる。 As described above, since the upper surface 157 of the ring-shaped member 153 is curved so as to draw an arc that protrudes toward the upper projecting portion 27 in a side view, the upper surface of the ring-shaped member and the upper projecting portion 27 Is sufficiently smaller than the tip of the curved arm 152. Therefore, according to the register 1, when the plurality of horizontal fins 10 are adjusted to the downward rotation state, the volume of the abnormal noise when the upper surface 157 of the ring-shaped member 153 contacts the lower surface of the upper overhanging portion 27 is increased. Can be reduced.
　又、前記したように、リング状部材１５３の上面１５７は、湾曲アーム５２の先端から円弧を描くように突出形成されている為、上側張出部２７に対して上面１５７が接触する場合の衝撃を、リング状部材１５３の弾性変形によって吸収することができる。即ち、レジスタ１によれば、この点においても、複数の水平フィン１０を下方回動状態に調整する場合に、リング状部材１５３の上面１５７が上側張出部２７の下面と当接する際の異音の音量を低減することができる。 Further, as described above, since the upper surface 157 of the ring-shaped member 153 is formed so as to draw an arc from the tip of the curved arm 52, the impact when the upper surface 157 contacts the upper projecting portion 27. Can be absorbed by elastic deformation of the ring-shaped member 153. That is, according to the register 1, in this respect as well, when the plurality of horizontal fins 10 are adjusted to the downward rotation state, the difference when the upper surface 157 of the ring-shaped member 153 comes into contact with the lower surface of the upper projecting portion 27 is different. The sound volume can be reduced.
　図２４に示すように、中央垂直フィン２０Ａの上側張出部２７下面に対して、リング状部材１５３の上面１５７の一部のみが当接する。即ち、レジスタ１によれば、上側張出部２７に対して上面１５７が接触する際の接触面積を小さくすることができるので、上側張出部２７に対して、アーム部材１５０が接触することで生じる異音の音量を低減し得る。 24, only a part of the upper surface 157 of the ring-shaped member 153 comes into contact with the lower surface of the upper overhanging portion 27 of the central vertical fin 20A. That is, according to the register 1, the contact area when the upper surface 157 contacts the upper overhanging portion 27 can be reduced, so that the arm member 150 comes into contact with the upper overhanging portion 27. The volume of the abnormal noise that occurs can be reduced.
（上方回動状態における連結機構部の状態）
　続いて、複数の水平フィン１０を水平状態から上方回動状態に変更し、空気の吹出方向を上向きに調整する場合について説明する。 (The state of the connecting mechanism in the upward rotation state)
Subsequently, the case where the plurality of horizontal fins 10 are changed from the horizontal state to the upward rotation state and the air blowing direction is adjusted upward will be described.
　複数の水平フィン１０を上方回動状態に調整する場合、使用者は、操作ノブ３０を用いて、中央水平フィン１０Ａを上方向に回動させ、水平フィン本体１１の前端が上側に、後端が下側になるように調整する。この中央水平フィン１０Ａの回動に連動して、他の水平フィン１０も同様に、水平フィン本体１１の前端が上側に、後端が下側になるように回動する。これにより、レジスタ１によれば、操作ノブ３０を上方向に回動させることで、空気の吹出方向を、所望の上方向に調整することができる（図２５参照）。 When adjusting the plurality of horizontal fins 10 to the upward rotation state, the user rotates the central horizontal fin 10 </ b> A upward using the operation knob 30 so that the front end of the horizontal fin body 11 is on the upper side and the rear end. Adjust so that is at the bottom. In conjunction with the rotation of the central horizontal fin 10A, the other horizontal fins 10 are similarly rotated so that the front end of the horizontal fin body 11 is on the upper side and the rear end is on the lower side. Thereby, according to the register | resistor 1, the blowing direction of air can be adjusted to a desired upward direction by rotating the operation knob 30 upwards (refer FIG. 25).
　この時、中央水平フィン１０Ａの回動に伴って、軸保持部４２が形成されているノブ本体４０の後端側が、通常状態の位置から斜め前方下側に移動する為、アーム部材１５０は、アーム回動軸１５１を軸に回動しながら前方に移動し、リング状部材１５３の上面１５７及び下面１５８も連動して前方へ移動していく。 At this time, as the central horizontal fin 10A rotates, the rear end side of the knob body 40 on which the shaft holding portion 42 is formed moves from the position in the normal state to the diagonally lower front side. It moves forward while rotating about the arm rotation shaft 151, and the upper surface 157 and the lower surface 158 of the ring-shaped member 153 also move forward in conjunction with each other.
　ここで、アーム部材１５０の各湾曲アーム１５２は、上方に向かって突出するように湾曲している為、湾曲アーム１５２が下側張出部２８の前端上面に干渉することはない。従って、水平フィン１０を上方に回動させ得る範囲が、下側張出部２８とアーム部材１５０の接触によって制限されることはなく、操作ノブ３０による操作性を維持することができる。 Here, since each curved arm 152 of the arm member 150 is curved so as to protrude upward, the curved arm 152 does not interfere with the upper surface of the front end of the lower projecting portion 28. Therefore, the range in which the horizontal fin 10 can be rotated upward is not limited by the contact between the lower projecting portion 28 and the arm member 150, and the operability by the operation knob 30 can be maintained.
　図２５、図２６に示すように、水平フィン１０を限界まで上方へ回動させると、リング状部材１５３の上面１５７の一部のみが、中央垂直フィン２０Ａの下側張出部２８上面と当接する。尚、この時、中央垂直フィン２０Ａの上側張出部２７上面と、リング状部材１５３の上面１５７との間には、所定の隙間が形成されている。 As shown in FIGS. 25 and 26, when the horizontal fin 10 is rotated upward to the limit, only a part of the upper surface 157 of the ring-shaped member 153 contacts the upper surface of the lower protruding portion 28 of the central vertical fin 20A. Touch. At this time, a predetermined gap is formed between the upper surface of the upper projecting portion 27 of the central vertical fin 20 </ b> A and the upper surface 157 of the ring-shaped member 153.
　ここに、リング状部材１５３の下面１５８は、側面視において、下側張出部２８側に突出する円弧を描くように湾曲している為、リング状部材１５３の下面１５８と下側張出部２８との間の距離は、湾曲アーム１５２の先端に比べて十分に小さい。従って、レジスタ１によれば、複数の水平フィン１０を上方回動状態に調整する場合に、リング状部材１５３の下面１５８が下側張出部２８の上面と当接する際の異音の音量を低減することができる。 Here, since the lower surface 158 of the ring-shaped member 153 is curved so as to draw an arc projecting toward the lower projecting portion 28 in a side view, the lower surface 158 and the lower projecting portion of the ring-shaped member 153 are curved. The distance between the first arm 28 and the second arm 28 is sufficiently smaller than the tip of the curved arm 152. Therefore, according to the register 1, when adjusting the plurality of horizontal fins 10 to the upward rotation state, the volume of abnormal noise when the lower surface 158 of the ring-shaped member 153 comes into contact with the upper surface of the lower projecting portion 28 is increased. Can be reduced.
　又、リング状部材１５３の下面１５８は、湾曲アーム１５２の先端から円弧を描くように突出形成されている為、下側張出部２８に対して下面１５８が接触した場合の衝撃を、リング状部材１５３の弾性変形によって吸収することができる。即ち、レジスタ１によれば、この点においても、複数の水平フィン１０を上方回動状態に調整する場合に、リング状部材１５３の下面１５８が下側張出部２８の上面と当接する際の異音の音量を低減することができる。 Further, since the lower surface 158 of the ring-shaped member 153 is formed so as to draw an arc from the tip of the curved arm 152, the impact when the lower surface 158 comes into contact with the lower projecting portion 28 is affected by the ring shape. It can be absorbed by elastic deformation of the member 153. That is, according to the register 1, also in this respect, when the plurality of horizontal fins 10 are adjusted to the upward rotation state, the lower surface 158 of the ring-shaped member 153 is in contact with the upper surface of the lower projecting portion 28. The volume of abnormal noise can be reduced.
　図２６に示すように、中央垂直フィン２０Ａの下側張出部２８上面に対して、リング状部材１５３の上面１５７の一部のみが当接する。即ち、レジスタ１によれば、下側張出部２８に対して下面１５８が接触する際の接触面積を小さくすることができるので、下側張出部２８に対して、アーム部材１５０が接触することで生じる異音の音量を低減し得る。 26, only a part of the upper surface 157 of the ring-shaped member 153 contacts the upper surface of the lower overhanging portion 28 of the central vertical fin 20A. That is, according to the register 1, the contact area when the lower surface 158 contacts the lower projecting portion 28 can be reduced, so that the arm member 150 contacts the lower projecting portion 28. Therefore, the volume of abnormal noise generated can be reduced.
　図２３乃至図２６に示すように、第２実施形態におけるレジスタ１によれば、操作ノブ３０を操作して複数の水平フィン１０を上下方向に回動させる何れの過程においても、上側張出部２７とリング状部材１５３の上面１５７の間、又は、下側張出部２８とリング状部材１５３の下面１５８の間の何れか一方に隙間が形成される。従って、レジスタ１によれば、操作ノブ３０を操作して複数の水平フィン１０を上下方向に回動させる操作に際して、アーム部材１５０との間に大きな摩擦抵抗が生じることはなく、空気の吹出方向を上下に調整する際の操作性を良好に維持することができる。 As shown in FIGS. 23 to 26, according to the register 1 in the second embodiment, the upper overhanging portion is used in any process of operating the operation knob 30 to rotate the horizontal fins 10 in the vertical direction. 27 and a top surface 157 of the ring-shaped member 153, or a gap is formed between the lower projecting portion 28 and the bottom surface 158 of the ring-shaped member 153. Therefore, according to the register 1, when the operation knob 30 is operated to rotate the plurality of horizontal fins 10 in the vertical direction, a large frictional resistance is not generated between the arm member 150 and the air blowing direction. The operability when adjusting the height up and down can be maintained well.
　又、リング状部材１５３の上面１５７及び下面１５８は、アーム部材１５０における湾曲アーム１５２を基準として、夫々、上側張出部２７及び下側張出部２８に近づくような円弧を描くように形成されている為、アーム部材１５０に対する上側張出部２７、下側張出部２８の距離を短くすることができる。従って、操作ノブ３０を操作して複数の水平フィン１０を上下方向に回動させる場合に、上側張出部２７、下側張出部２８に接触するまでにアーム部材１５０が移動する距離を短くすることができる為、両者の接触に起因する異音の大きさを低減することができる。 Further, the upper surface 157 and the lower surface 158 of the ring-shaped member 153 are formed so as to draw arcs that approach the upper projecting portion 27 and the lower projecting portion 28, respectively, with the curved arm 152 of the arm member 150 as a reference. Therefore, the distance between the upper projecting portion 27 and the lower projecting portion 28 with respect to the arm member 150 can be shortened. Therefore, when the operation knob 30 is operated to rotate the plurality of horizontal fins 10 in the vertical direction, the distance that the arm member 150 moves before the upper projecting portion 27 and the lower projecting portion 28 come into contact with each other is shortened. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the size of abnormal noise resulting from the contact between the two.
　以上説明した通り第２実施形態に係るレジスタ１では、アーム部材１５０は、操作ノブ３０の後部に回動可能に取り付けられるアーム回動軸１５１と、アーム回動軸１５１から二股状に延設された一対の湾曲アーム１５２と、各湾曲アーム１５２の後端部における下側面からリング状に形成された一対のリング状部材１５３と、各リング状部材１５３の自由端部１５４と湾曲アーム１５２の上側面１５５との間に形成されたスリット部１５６とを備えている。
　前記のように構成されたレジスタのアーム部材１５０では、アーム回動軸１５１から二股状に延設された一対の各湾曲アーム１５２の後端部における下側面からリング状のリング状部材１５３が形成されており、プレート状部材の中央部から肉抜きをした構成を有するので、アーム部材１５０の軽量化を図ることができ、また、アーム部材１５０の軽量化に基づきリング状部材１５３の上面１５７又は下面１５８と上側張出部２７又は下側張出部２８とが接触する際の衝撃を小さくして接触時の異音を低減することができる。
　また、リング状部材１５３の自由端部１５４と湾曲アーム１５２の上側面１５５との間にはスリット部１５６が形成されているので、リング状部材１５３は容易に弾性変形して撓み易くなり、これよりリング状部材１５３の上面１５７又は下面１５８と上側張出部２７又は下側張出部２８とが接触する際の衝撃を小さくして接触時の異音を低減することができる。 As described above, in the register 1 according to the second embodiment, the arm member 150 extends in a bifurcated manner from the arm rotation shaft 151 that is rotatably attached to the rear portion of the operation knob 30 and the arm rotation shaft 151. A pair of curved arms 152, a pair of ring-shaped members 153 formed in a ring shape from the lower surface at the rear end of each curved arm 152, and a free end 154 of each ring-shaped member 153 and the upper side of the curved arm 152. And a slit portion 156 formed between the side surface 155 and the side surface 155.
In the arm member 150 of the register configured as described above, a ring-shaped ring-shaped member 153 is formed from the lower side surface at the rear end portion of each of the pair of curved arms 152 extending in a forked manner from the arm rotation shaft 151. The arm member 150 can be reduced in weight because the plate member is thinned from the center portion of the plate-like member, and the upper surface 157 of the ring-shaped member 153 or the like based on the weight reduction of the arm member 150 can be achieved. It is possible to reduce the impact when the lower surface 158 and the upper overhanging portion 27 or the lower overhanging portion 28 are in contact with each other, thereby reducing abnormal noise during the contact.
Further, since the slit portion 156 is formed between the free end portion 154 of the ring-shaped member 153 and the upper side surface 155 of the curved arm 152, the ring-shaped member 153 is easily elastically deformed and easily bent. In addition, it is possible to reduce the impact when the upper surface 157 or the lower surface 158 of the ring-shaped member 153 contacts the upper projecting portion 27 or the lower projecting portion 28, and to reduce noise during the contact.
　また、リング状部材１５３の厚さは周縁部に近接するに従ってテーパ状に薄く形成され、また、リング状部材１５３の周端面は断面視で三角形状に形成されているので、上側張出部２７に対してリング状部材１５３の上面１５７が接触する際の接触面積を小さくすると共に、下側張出部２８に対してリング状部材１５３の下面１５８が接触する際の接触面積を小さくすることができる。これにより、リング状部材が上側張出部又は下側張出部に対して接触する際に生じる異音を低減することができる。 Further, the thickness of the ring-shaped member 153 is formed so as to taper as it approaches the peripheral portion, and the peripheral end surface of the ring-shaped member 153 is formed in a triangular shape in a cross-sectional view. The contact area when the upper surface 157 of the ring-shaped member 153 comes into contact with the lower projecting portion 28 is reduced, and the contact area when the lower surface 158 of the ring-shaped member 153 comes into contact with the lower projecting portion 28 is reduced. it can. Thereby, the abnormal noise which arises when a ring-shaped member contacts with respect to an upper side overhang | projection part or a lower side overhang | projection part can be reduced.
　続いて、第３実施形態に係るレジスタについて、図２７乃至図３５を参照しつつ説明する。尚、第３実施形態に係るレジスタは、前記した第１実施形態に係るレジスタ１と基本的に同一の構成を有しており、第１実施形態のレジスタと第３実施形態のレジスタとは、操作ノブに連結されるアーム部材の構成のみが異なっているだけである。
　従って、以下の説明においては、アーム部材の構成上の相違点に着目して説明することとし、その他の構成における各構成要素・部材には第１実施形態におけると同一の符号を付するとともに、その詳細な説明を省略するものとする。 Next, a register according to the third embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The register according to the third embodiment has basically the same configuration as the register 1 according to the first embodiment, and the register according to the first embodiment and the register according to the third embodiment are: Only the configuration of the arm member connected to the operation knob is different.
Therefore, in the following description, the description will be made by paying attention to the difference in configuration of the arm member, and the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment are attached to the respective components and members in the other configurations, Detailed description thereof will be omitted.
　以下、第３実施形態に係るレジスタ１に使用されているアーム部材２５０の特徴的構成について説明する。
（アーム部材の構成）
　アーム部材２５０は、図２７、図２８、図３０乃至図３２等に示すように、ノブ本体４０の後端部において、垂直方向に回動可能に取り付けられるアーム回動軸２５１、アーム回動軸２５１から二股状に延設された一対の湾曲アーム２５２、及び、各湾曲アーム２５２の後端部に一体に設けられ、湾曲アーム２５２の後端部の上側及び下側にて円弧状に延設された一対のリング状部材２５３を有している。更に、各リング状部材２５３の上側自由端部２５４と湾曲アーム２５２の後端部における上側面２５５との間には、第１スリット部２５６が形成されている。同様に、リング状部材２５３の下側自由端部２５７と湾曲アーム２５２の後端部における下側面２５８との間には、第２スリット部２５９が形成されている。
　ここに、アーム部材２５０における二股状の各湾曲アーム２５２の間に、中央垂直フィン２０Ａの連結シャフト２６が係合し、これによりノブ本体４０のスライド移動に伴う力が中央垂直フィン２０Ａに対して伝達される。 Hereinafter, a characteristic configuration of the arm member 250 used in the register 1 according to the third embodiment will be described.
(Configuration of arm member)
27, 28, 30 to 32, and the like, the arm member 250 includes an arm rotation shaft 251 and an arm rotation shaft that are attached to the rear end portion of the knob body 40 so as to be rotatable in the vertical direction. A pair of curved arms 252 extending in a bifurcated manner from 251, and integrally provided at the rear end of each curved arm 252, and extending in an arc shape above and below the rear end of the curved arm 252. A pair of ring-shaped members 253 is provided. Further, a first slit portion 256 is formed between the upper free end portion 254 of each ring-shaped member 253 and the upper side surface 255 at the rear end portion of the curved arm 252. Similarly, a second slit portion 259 is formed between the lower free end portion 257 of the ring-shaped member 253 and the lower side surface 258 at the rear end portion of the curved arm 252.
Here, the connecting shaft 26 of the central vertical fin 20A is engaged between the bifurcated curved arms 252 of the arm member 250, whereby the force accompanying the sliding movement of the knob body 40 is applied to the central vertical fin 20A. Communicated.
　アーム回動軸２５１は、アーム部材２５０の前端部の外側部分に、左右方向に突出するように形成されており、左右両側のアーム回動軸２５１が同軸上に位置している。図３等に示すように、アーム回動軸２５１は、ノブ本体４０後端部に形成された軸保持部４２によって、回動自在に保持されている。これにより、アーム部材２５０は、ノブ本体４０に対して、アーム回動軸２５１を中心として垂直方向へ回動可能に連結されている。 The arm rotation shaft 251 is formed on the outer part of the front end portion of the arm member 250 so as to protrude in the left-right direction, and the arm rotation shafts 251 on both the left and right sides are coaxially positioned. As shown in FIG. 3 and the like, the arm rotation shaft 251 is rotatably held by a shaft holding portion 42 formed at the rear end portion of the knob body 40. Accordingly, the arm member 250 is connected to the knob body 40 so as to be rotatable in the vertical direction around the arm rotation shaft 251.
　二股状の湾曲アーム２５２は、アーム回動軸２５１の左右方向中央部分において、左右方向に間隔を空けて形成されており、アーム部材２５０の前端部から後方に向かって延びている。図３１、図３２に示すように、湾曲アーム２５２は、アーム回動軸２５１から後方に向かって延びる途中で下方に向かって一度湾曲した後、その後方において上方に向かって湾曲している。二股状に形成された湾曲アーム２５２の間には、中央垂直フィン２０Ａの連結シャフト２６が配置される（図３、図２７乃至図３０参照）。換言すれば、一対の湾曲アーム２５２は、連結シャフト２６を挟んで左右両側に配設される。 The bifurcated curved arm 252 is formed at a central portion in the left-right direction of the arm rotation shaft 251 with an interval in the left-right direction, and extends rearward from the front end portion of the arm member 250. As shown in FIGS. 31 and 32, the bending arm 252 is once bent downward while being extended rearward from the arm rotation shaft 251, and then bent upward at the rear thereof. A connecting shaft 26 of the central vertical fin 20A is disposed between the curved arms 252 formed in a bifurcated shape (see FIGS. 3 and 27 to 30). In other words, the pair of curved arms 252 are disposed on both the left and right sides with the connecting shaft 26 interposed therebetween.
　従って、操作ノブ３０がスライド移動すると、ノブ本体４０と共に、アーム部材２５０も移動する為、湾曲アーム２５２は、中央垂直フィン２０Ａの連結シャフト２６を押圧する。そして、この連結シャフト２６の押圧に伴って、中央垂直フィン２０Ａが左右方向へ回動し、これにより他の垂直フィン２０も、連動して左右方向に回動する。 Therefore, when the operation knob 30 is slid, the arm member 250 is moved together with the knob body 40, so that the bending arm 252 presses the connecting shaft 26 of the central vertical fin 20A. As the connecting shaft 26 is pressed, the central vertical fin 20A rotates in the left-right direction, and thereby the other vertical fins 20 also rotate in the left-right direction in conjunction with each other.
　尚、第３実施形態においては、中央水平フィン１０Ａの上下方向への回動に伴って、操作ノブ３０も上下方向に回動するが、一対の湾曲アーム２５２の間に、上下方向に延びる連結シャフト２６が配置されている為、湾曲アーム２５２が、操作ノブ３０の上下方向への回動に伴って、連結シャフト２６に接触することはない。従って、操作ノブ３０の上下方向に対する回動は、複数の垂直フィン２０を左右方向へ回動させることはない。 In the third embodiment, as the central horizontal fin 10A rotates in the vertical direction, the operation knob 30 also rotates in the vertical direction. However, the connection extending between the pair of curved arms 252 extends in the vertical direction. Since the shaft 26 is disposed, the bending arm 252 does not come into contact with the connecting shaft 26 as the operation knob 30 is rotated in the vertical direction. Therefore, the rotation of the operation knob 30 in the vertical direction does not rotate the plurality of vertical fins 20 in the left-right direction.
　各湾曲アーム２５２の後端部に一体に設けられ、湾曲アーム２５２の後端部における上側及び下側にて円弧状に延設されたリング状部材２５３を有しており、かかるリング状部材２５３の上面２６０は、図２７、図２８、図３０に示すように、上側張出部２７側に対向しており、また、リング状部材２５３の下面２６１は、下側張出部２８に対向している。 Each of the curved arms 252 has a ring-shaped member 253 that is provided integrally with the rear end of the curved arm 252 and extends in an arc shape on the upper and lower sides of the rear end of the curved arm 252. 27, 28, and 30, the upper surface 260 of the ring-shaped member faces the upper projecting portion 27 side, and the lower surface 261 of the ring-shaped member 253 faces the lower projecting portion 28. ing.
　また、図３１、図３３に示すように、リング状部材２５３の厚さは周縁部に近接するに従ってテーパ状に薄く形成され、また、リング状部材２５３の周端面は断面視で三角形状に形成されている。これより、上側張出部２７に対してリング状部材２５３の上面２６０が接触する際の接触面積を小さくすると共に、下側張出部２８に対してリング状部材２５３の下面２６１が接触する際の接触面積を小さくすることができる。これにより、リング状部材２５３が上側張出部２７又は下側張出部２８に対して接触する際に生じる異音を低減することができる。 Further, as shown in FIGS. 31 and 33, the thickness of the ring-shaped member 253 is formed as a taper as it approaches the peripheral portion, and the peripheral end surface of the ring-shaped member 253 is formed in a triangular shape in a sectional view. Has been. As a result, the contact area when the upper surface 260 of the ring-shaped member 253 contacts the upper projecting portion 27 is reduced, and the lower surface 261 of the ring-shaped member 253 contacts the lower projecting portion 28. The contact area can be reduced. Thereby, the abnormal noise which arises when the ring-shaped member 253 contacts with the upper side overhang | projection part 27 or the lower side overhang | projection part 28 can be reduced.
（レジスタの動作）
　続いて、上述のように構成された第３実施形態に係るレジスタ１において、シャッタ４を開けた状態で空気の吹出方向を上下左右に調整する方法について説明する。先ず、空気の吹出方向を左右に調整する場合について説明する。この場合、使用者は、中央水平フィン１０Ａに沿って、操作ノブ３０を左右方向にスライド移動させる。これにより、操作ノブ３０の移動力がアーム部材１５０の湾曲アーム１５２から、連結シャフト２６を介して、中央垂直フィン２０Ａに伝達される。これにより、中央垂直フィン２０Ａが左右方向に回動する為、他の垂直フィン２０は、各リンク支持軸２４及びリンク部材６０を介して、それに連動して左右方向に回動する。これにより、当該レジスタ１によれば、操作ノブ３０を左右方向にスライド移動させることで、空気の吹出方向を、所望の方向へ左右に調整することができる。 (Register operation)
Subsequently, in the register 1 according to the third embodiment configured as described above, a method of adjusting the air blowing direction up, down, left, and right with the shutter 4 opened will be described. First, the case where the air blowing direction is adjusted to the right and left will be described. In this case, the user slides the operation knob 30 in the left-right direction along the central horizontal fin 10A. Thereby, the moving force of the operation knob 30 is transmitted from the curved arm 152 of the arm member 150 to the central vertical fin 20 </ b> A via the connection shaft 26. Accordingly, since the central vertical fin 20A rotates in the left-right direction, the other vertical fins 20 rotate in the left-right direction in conjunction with the link support shafts 24 and the link members 60. Thereby, according to the said register | resistor 1, the blowing direction of air can be adjusted right and left to a desired direction by sliding the operation knob 30 to the left and right direction.
　続いて、第３実施形態に係るレジスタ１において、空気の吹出方向を上下に調整する場合について、図面を参照しつつ詳細に説明する。 Subsequently, in the register 1 according to the third embodiment, the case where the air blowing direction is adjusted up and down will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
（通常状態における連結機構部の状態）
　はじめに、各水平フィン１０の前端と後端が同じ高さとなる通常状態である場合について、図２７を参照しつつ説明する。通常状態にある場合、操作ノブ３０のノブ本体４０は、中央水平フィン１０Ａと共に、ノブ本体４０の前端と後端が同じ高さとなる状態となっている。 (The state of the coupling mechanism in the normal state)
First, the case where the front end and the rear end of each horizontal fin 10 are in the normal state where they are the same height will be described with reference to FIG. When in the normal state, the knob body 40 of the operation knob 30 is in a state where the front end and the rear end of the knob body 40 are at the same height together with the central horizontal fin 10A.
　ここで、第３実施形態における操作ノブ３０においては、上述したように、アーム部材２５０は、ノブ本体４０の後端部において、上下方向に回動可能に軸支されており、湾曲アーム２５２の後端部に一体に形成されたリング状部材２５３を有している。従って、アーム部材２５０は、ノブ本体４０の後端部において、アーム回動軸２５１を軸に回動可能な状態にあり、上側張出部２７と下側張出部２８の間の切欠部２５内には、リング状部材２５３の上面２６０及び下面２６１が位置している。 Here, in the operation knob 30 in the third embodiment, as described above, the arm member 250 is pivotally supported at the rear end portion of the knob body 40 so as to be pivotable in the vertical direction, and the bending arm 252 It has a ring-shaped member 253 integrally formed at the rear end. Therefore, the arm member 250 is in a state of being rotatable about the arm rotation shaft 251 at the rear end portion of the knob body 40, and the notch portion 25 between the upper projecting portion 27 and the lower projecting portion 28. Inside, the upper surface 260 and the lower surface 261 of the ring-shaped member 253 are located.
（下方回動状態における連結機構部の状態）
　次に、複数の水平フィン１０を水平状態から下方回動状態に変更し、空気の吹出方向を下向きに調整する場合について説明する。 (The state of the connecting mechanism in the downward rotation state)
Next, a case where the plurality of horizontal fins 10 are changed from the horizontal state to the downward rotation state and the air blowing direction is adjusted downward will be described.
　複数の水平フィン１０を下方回動状態に調整する場合、使用者は、操作ノブ３０を用いて、中央水平フィン１０Ａを下方向に回動させ、水平フィン本体１１の前端が下側に、後端が上側になるように調整する。この中央水平フィン１０Ａの回動に連動して、他の水平フィン１０も同様に、水平フィン本体１１の前端が下側に、後端が上側になるように回動する。これにより、第３実施形態のレジスタ１によれば、操作ノブ３０を下方向に回動させることで、空気の吹出方向を、所望の下方向に調整することができる（図３４参照）。 When adjusting the plurality of horizontal fins 10 to the downward rotation state, the user uses the operation knob 30 to rotate the central horizontal fin 10A downward so that the front end of the horizontal fin body 11 is on the lower side and the rear side. Adjust so that the edge is on the top. In conjunction with the rotation of the central horizontal fin 10A, the other horizontal fins 10 are similarly rotated so that the front end of the horizontal fin body 11 is on the lower side and the rear end is on the upper side. Thereby, according to the register | resistor 1 of 3rd Embodiment, the blowing direction of air can be adjusted to a desired downward direction by rotating the operation knob 30 downward (refer FIG. 34).
　この時、中央水平フィン１０Ａの回動に伴って、軸保持部４２が形成されているノブ本体４０の後端側が、通常状態の位置から斜め前方上側に移動する為、アーム部材２５０は、アーム回動軸２５１を軸に回動しながら前方に移動し、リング状部材２５３の上面２６０及び下面２６１も連動して前方へ移動していく。図３４に示すように、水平フィン１０を限界まで下方へ回動させると、リング状部材２５３の上面２６０の一部のみが、中央垂直フィン２０Ａの上側張出部２７下面と当接する。尚、この時、中央垂直フィン２０Ａの下側張出部２８上面と、リング状部材２５３の下面２６１との間には、所定の隙間が形成されている。 At this time, as the central horizontal fin 10A rotates, the rear end side of the knob main body 40 on which the shaft holding portion 42 is formed moves obliquely forward and upward from the normal position. It moves forward while rotating about the rotation shaft 251, and the upper surface 260 and the lower surface 261 of the ring-shaped member 253 also move forward in conjunction with each other. As shown in FIG. 34, when the horizontal fin 10 is rotated downward to the limit, only a part of the upper surface 260 of the ring-shaped member 253 contacts the lower surface of the upper overhanging portion 27 of the central vertical fin 20A. At this time, a predetermined gap is formed between the upper surface of the lower projecting portion 28 of the central vertical fin 20 </ b> A and the lower surface 261 of the ring-shaped member 253.
　上述したように、リング状部材２５３の上面２６０は、側面視において、上側張出部２７側に突出する円弧を描くように湾曲している為、リング状部材２５３の上面２６０と上側張出部２７との間の距離は、湾曲アーム２５２の先端に比べて十分に小さい。従って、前記レジスタ１によれば、複数の水平フィン１０を下方回動状態に調整する場合に、リング状部材２５３の上面２６０が上側張出部２７の下面と当接する際の異音の音量を低減することができる。 As described above, since the upper surface 260 of the ring-shaped member 253 is curved so as to draw an arc that protrudes toward the upper projecting portion 27 in a side view, the upper surface 260 and the upper projecting portion of the ring-shaped member 253 are curved. 27 is sufficiently smaller than the tip of the curved arm 252. Therefore, according to the register 1, when the plurality of horizontal fins 10 are adjusted to the downward rotation state, the volume of the abnormal noise when the upper surface 260 of the ring-shaped member 253 contacts the lower surface of the upper overhanging portion 27 is increased. Can be reduced.
　又、前記したように、リング状部材２５３の上面２６０は、湾曲アーム２５２の先端から円弧を描くように突出形成されている為、上側張出部２７に対して上面２６０が接触する場合の衝撃を、リング状部材２５３の弾性変形によって吸収することができる。即ち、レジスタ１によれば、この点においても、複数の水平フィン１０を下方回動状態に調整する場合に、リング状部材２５３の上面２６０が上側張出部２７の下面と当接する際の異音の音量を低減することができる。 Further, as described above, the upper surface 260 of the ring-shaped member 253 is formed so as to draw an arc from the tip of the curved arm 252, so that the impact when the upper surface 260 comes into contact with the upper projecting portion 27. Can be absorbed by elastic deformation of the ring-shaped member 253. That is, according to the register 1, also in this respect, when the plurality of horizontal fins 10 are adjusted to the downward rotation state, the difference between the upper surface 260 of the ring-shaped member 253 and the lower surface of the upper projecting portion 27 is different. The sound volume can be reduced.
　中央垂直フィン２０Ａの上側張出部２７下面に対して、リング状部材２５３の上面２６０の一部のみが当接する。即ち、レジスタ１によれば、上側張出部２７に対して上面２６０が接触する際の接触面積を小さくすることができるので、上側張出部２７に対して、アーム部材２５０が接触することで生じる異音の音量を低減し得る。 Only a part of the upper surface 260 of the ring-shaped member 253 contacts the lower surface of the upper overhanging portion 27 of the central vertical fin 20A. That is, according to the register 1, the contact area when the upper surface 260 comes into contact with the upper overhanging portion 27 can be reduced, so that the arm member 250 comes into contact with the upper overhanging portion 27. The volume of the abnormal noise that occurs can be reduced.
（上方回動状態における連結機構部の状態）
　続いて、複数の水平フィン１０を水平状態から上方回動状態に変更し、空気の吹出方向を上向きに調整する場合について説明する。 (The state of the connecting mechanism in the upward rotation state)
Subsequently, the case where the plurality of horizontal fins 10 are changed from the horizontal state to the upward rotation state and the air blowing direction is adjusted upward will be described.
　複数の水平フィン１０を上方回動状態に調整する場合、使用者は、操作ノブ３０を用いて、中央水平フィン１０Ａを上方向に回動させ、水平フィン本体１１の前端が上側に、後端が下側になるように調整する。この中央水平フィン１０Ａの回動に連動して、他の水平フィン１０も同様に、水平フィン本体１１の前端が上側に、後端が下側になるように回動する。これにより、レジスタ１によれば、操作ノブ３０を上方向に回動させることで、空気の吹出方向を、所望の上方向に調整することができる（図３５参照）。 When adjusting the plurality of horizontal fins 10 to the upward rotation state, the user rotates the central horizontal fin 10 </ b> A upward using the operation knob 30 so that the front end of the horizontal fin body 11 is on the upper side and the rear end. Adjust so that is at the bottom. In conjunction with the rotation of the central horizontal fin 10A, the other horizontal fins 10 are similarly rotated so that the front end of the horizontal fin body 11 is on the upper side and the rear end is on the lower side. Thereby, according to the register | resistor 1, the blowing direction of air can be adjusted to a desired upward direction by rotating the operation knob 30 upwards (refer FIG. 35).
　この時、中央水平フィン１０Ａの回動に伴って、軸保持部４２が形成されているノブ本体４０の後端側が、通常状態の位置から斜め前方下側に移動する為、アーム部材２５０は、アーム回動軸２５１を軸に回動しながら前方に移動し、リング状部材２５３の上面２６０及び下面２６１も連動して前方へ移動していく。 At this time, as the central horizontal fin 10A rotates, the rear end side of the knob main body 40 on which the shaft holding portion 42 is formed moves obliquely forward and downward from the position in the normal state. It moves forward while rotating about the arm rotation shaft 251, and the upper surface 260 and the lower surface 261 of the ring-shaped member 253 also move forward in conjunction with each other.
　ここで、アーム部材２５０の各湾曲アーム２５２は、上方に向かって突出するように湾曲している為、湾曲アーム２５２が下側張出部２８の前端上面に干渉することはない。従って、水平フィン１０を上方に回動させ得る範囲が、下側張出部２８とアーム部材２５０の接触によって制限されることはなく、操作ノブ３０による操作性を維持することができる。 Here, since each curved arm 252 of the arm member 250 is curved so as to protrude upward, the curved arm 252 does not interfere with the upper surface of the front end of the lower projecting portion 28. Therefore, the range in which the horizontal fin 10 can be rotated upward is not limited by the contact between the lower projecting portion 28 and the arm member 250, and the operability by the operation knob 30 can be maintained.
　図３５に示すように、水平フィン１０を限界まで上方へ回動させると、リング状部材２５３の上面２６０の一部のみが、中央垂直フィン２０Ａの下側張出部２８上面と当接する。尚、この時、中央垂直フィン２０Ａの上側張出部２７上面と、リング状部材２５３の上面２６０との間には、所定の隙間が形成されている。 As shown in FIG. 35, when the horizontal fin 10 is rotated upward to the limit, only a part of the upper surface 260 of the ring-shaped member 253 comes into contact with the upper surface of the lower protruding portion 28 of the central vertical fin 20A. At this time, a predetermined gap is formed between the upper surface of the upper projecting portion 27 of the central vertical fin 20 </ b> A and the upper surface 260 of the ring-shaped member 253.
　ここに、リング状部材２５３の下面２６１は、側面視において、下側張出部２８側に突出する円弧を描くように湾曲している為、リング状部材２５３の下面２６１と下側張出部２８との間の距離は、湾曲アーム１５２の先端に比べて十分に小さい。従って、レジスタ１によれば、複数の水平フィン１０を上方回動状態に調整する場合に、リング状部材２５３の下面２６１が下側張出部２８の上面と当接する際の異音の音量を低減することができる。 Here, the lower surface 261 of the ring-shaped member 253 is curved so as to draw an arc that protrudes toward the lower projecting portion 28 in a side view, so the lower surface 261 of the ring-shaped member 253 and the lower projecting portion The distance between the first arm 28 and the second arm 28 is sufficiently smaller than the tip of the curved arm 152. Therefore, according to the register 1, when adjusting the plurality of horizontal fins 10 to the upward rotation state, the volume of the abnormal noise when the lower surface 261 of the ring-shaped member 253 contacts the upper surface of the lower projecting portion 28 is increased. Can be reduced.
　又、リング状部材２５３の下面２６１は、湾曲アーム２５２の先端から円弧を描くように突出形成されている為、下側張出部２８に対して下面２６１が接触した場合の衝撃を、リング状部材２５３の弾性変形によって吸収することができる。即ち、レジスタ１によれば、この点においても、複数の水平フィン１０を上方回動状態に調整する場合に、リング状部材２５３の下面２６１が下側張出部２８の上面と当接する際の異音の音量を低減することができる。 Further, since the lower surface 261 of the ring-shaped member 253 is formed so as to draw an arc from the tip of the curved arm 252, an impact when the lower surface 261 comes into contact with the lower projecting portion 28 is affected by the ring shape. It can be absorbed by elastic deformation of the member 253. That is, according to the register 1, also in this point, when the plurality of horizontal fins 10 are adjusted to the upward rotation state, the lower surface 261 of the ring-shaped member 253 is in contact with the upper surface of the lower projecting portion 28. The volume of abnormal noise can be reduced.
　中央垂直フィン２０Ａの下側張出部２８上面に対して、リング状部材２５３の上面２６０の一部のみが当接する。即ち、レジスタ１によれば、下側張出部２８に対して下面２６１が接触する際の接触面積を小さくすることができるので、下側張出部２８に対して、アーム部材２５０が接触することで生じる異音の音量を低減し得る。 Only a part of the upper surface 260 of the ring-shaped member 253 contacts the upper surface of the lower overhanging portion 28 of the central vertical fin 20A. That is, according to the register 1, the contact area when the lower surface 261 contacts the lower projecting portion 28 can be reduced, so that the arm member 250 contacts the lower projecting portion 28. Therefore, the volume of abnormal noise generated can be reduced.
　図３４、図３５に示すように、第３実施形態におけるレジスタ１によれば、操作ノブ３０を操作して複数の水平フィン１０を上下方向に回動させる何れの過程においても、上側張出部２７とリング状部材２５３の上面２６０の間、又は、下側張出部２８とリング状部材２５３の下面２６１の間の何れか一方に隙間が形成される。従って、レジスタ１によれば、操作ノブ３０を操作して複数の水平フィン１０を上下方向に回動させる操作に際して、アーム部材２５０との間に大きな摩擦抵抗が生じることはなく、空気の吹出方向を上下に調整する際の操作性を良好に維持することができる。 As shown in FIGS. 34 and 35, according to the register 1 in the third embodiment, the upper overhanging portion is used in any process of operating the operation knob 30 to rotate the plurality of horizontal fins 10 in the vertical direction. 27 and the upper surface 260 of the ring-shaped member 253, or a gap is formed between the lower projecting portion 28 and the lower surface 261 of the ring-shaped member 253. Therefore, according to the register 1, when the operation knob 30 is operated to rotate the plurality of horizontal fins 10 in the vertical direction, no large frictional resistance is generated between the arm member 250 and the air blowing direction. The operability when adjusting the height up and down can be maintained well.
　又、リング状部材２５３の上面２６０及び下面２６１は、アーム部材２５０における湾曲アーム２５２を基準として、夫々、上側張出部２７及び下側張出部２８に近づくような円弧を描くように形成されている為、アーム部材２５０に対する上側張出部２７、下側張出部２８の距離を短くすることができる。従って、操作ノブ３０を操作して複数の水平フィン１０を上下方向に回動させる場合に、上側張出部２７、下側張出部２８に接触するまでにアーム部材２５０が移動する距離を短くすることができる為、両者の接触に起因する異音の大きさを低減することができる。 Further, the upper surface 260 and the lower surface 261 of the ring-shaped member 253 are formed so as to draw arcs that approach the upper projecting portion 27 and the lower projecting portion 28, respectively, with the curved arm 252 in the arm member 250 as a reference. Therefore, the distance between the upper projecting portion 27 and the lower projecting portion 28 with respect to the arm member 250 can be shortened. Accordingly, when the operation knob 30 is operated to rotate the plurality of horizontal fins 10 in the up and down direction, the distance that the arm member 250 moves before contacting the upper overhanging portion 27 and the lower overhanging portion 28 is shortened. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the size of abnormal noise resulting from the contact between the two.
　以上説明した通り第３実施形態に係るレジスタ１では、アーム部材２５０は、操作ノブ３０の後部に回動可能に取り付けられるアーム回動軸２５１と、アーム回動軸２５１から二股状に延設された一対の湾曲アーム２５２と、各湾曲アーム２５２の後端部に一体に設けられ、湾曲アーム２５２の後端部の上側及び下側にて円弧状に延設された一対のリング状部材２５３と、各リング状部材２５３の上側自由端部２５４と湾曲アーム２５２の後端部における上側面２５５との間に形成された第１スリット部２５６と、リング状部材２５３の下側自由端部２５７と湾曲アーム２５２の後端部における下側面２５８との間に形成された第２スリット部２５９とを備えている。
　前記のように構成されたレジスタ１のアーム部材２５０は、アーム回動軸２５１から二股状に延設された一対の各湾曲アーム２５２の後端部の上側及び下側にて円弧状に延設されたリング状部材２５３が形成されており、プレート状部材の中央部から肉抜きをした構成を有するので、アーム部材２５０の軽量化を図ることができ、また、アーム部材２５０の軽量化に基づきリング状部材２５３の上面２６０又は下面２６１と上側張出部２７又は下側張出部２８とが接触する際の衝撃を小さくして接触時の異音を低減することができる。
　また、リング状部材２５３の上側自由端部２５４と湾曲アーム２５２の後端部における上側面２５５との間に形成された第１スリット部２５６と、リング状部材２５３の下側自由端部２５７と湾曲アーム２５２の後端部における下側面２５８との間に形成された第２スリット部２５９とが形成されているので、リング状部材２５３は容易に弾性変形して撓み易くなり、これよりリング状部材２５３の上面２６０又は下面２６１と上側張出部２７又は下側張出部２８とが接触する際の衝撃を小さくして接触時の異音を低減することができる。 As described above, in the register 1 according to the third embodiment, the arm member 250 extends in a bifurcated manner from the arm rotation shaft 251 that is rotatably attached to the rear portion of the operation knob 30 and the arm rotation shaft 251. A pair of curved arms 252 and a pair of ring-shaped members 253 provided integrally with the rear end of each curved arm 252 and extending in an arc shape on the upper and lower sides of the rear end of the curved arm 252; The first slit portion 256 formed between the upper free end 254 of each ring-shaped member 253 and the upper side surface 255 at the rear end of the curved arm 252, and the lower free end 257 of the ring-shaped member 253, And a second slit portion 259 formed between the curved arm 252 and the lower side surface 258 at the rear end portion.
The arm member 250 of the register 1 configured as described above extends in an arc shape on the upper and lower sides of the rear end portions of the pair of curved arms 252 extending in a bifurcated manner from the arm rotation shaft 251. Since the ring-shaped member 253 is formed and has a structure in which the central portion of the plate-shaped member is cut out, the weight of the arm member 250 can be reduced, and the weight of the arm member 250 can be reduced. The impact when the upper surface 260 or the lower surface 261 of the ring-shaped member 253 is in contact with the upper overhanging portion 27 or the lower overhanging portion 28 can be reduced, and abnormal noise during the contact can be reduced.
Further, a first slit portion 256 formed between the upper free end portion 254 of the ring-shaped member 253 and the upper side surface 255 at the rear end portion of the curved arm 252, a lower free end portion 257 of the ring-shaped member 253, Since the second slit portion 259 formed between the lower end surface 258 at the rear end portion of the curved arm 252 is formed, the ring-shaped member 253 is easily elastically deformed and is easily bent, and thus the ring-shaped member The impact when the upper surface 260 or the lower surface 261 of the member 253 is in contact with the upper overhanging portion 27 or the lower overhanging portion 28 can be reduced, and abnormal noise during the contact can be reduced.
　また、リング状部材の厚さは周縁部に近接するに従ってテーパ状に薄く形成され、また、リング状部材の周端面は断面視で三角形状に形成されているので、上側張出部に対してリング状部材の上側部が接触する際の接触面積を小さくすると共に、下側張出部に対してリング状部材の下側部が接触する際の接触面積を小さくすることができる。これにより、リング状部材が上側張出部又は下側張出部に対して接触する際に生じる異音を低減することができる。 Further, the thickness of the ring-shaped member is formed in a tapered shape as it approaches the peripheral portion, and the peripheral end surface of the ring-shaped member is formed in a triangular shape in a cross-sectional view. While reducing the contact area at the time of the upper part contact of a ring-shaped member contacting, the contact area at the time of the lower side part of a ring-shaped member contacting with respect to a lower side overhang | projection part can be made small. Thereby, the abnormal noise which arises when a ring-shaped member contacts with respect to an upper side overhang | projection part or a lower side overhang | projection part can be reduced.
　続いて、第４実施形態に係るレジスタについて、図３６乃至図４４を参照しつつ説明する。尚、第４実施形態に係るレジスタは、前記した第１実施形態に係るレジスタ１と基本的に同一の構成を有しており、第１実施形態のレジスタと第４実施形態のレジスタとは、操作ノブに連結されるアーム部材の構成のみが異なっているだけである。
　従って、以下の説明においては、アーム部材の構成上の相違点に着目して説明することとし、その他の構成における各構成要素・部材には第１実施形態におけると同一の符号を付するとともに、その詳細な説明を省略するものとする。 Next, a register according to the fourth embodiment will be described with reference to FIGS. The register according to the fourth embodiment has basically the same configuration as the register 1 according to the first embodiment, and the register according to the first embodiment and the register according to the fourth embodiment are: Only the configuration of the arm member connected to the operation knob is different.
Therefore, in the following description, the description will be made by paying attention to the difference in configuration of the arm member, and the same reference numerals as those in the first embodiment are attached to the respective components and members in the other configurations, Detailed description thereof will be omitted.
　以下、第４実施形態に係るレジスタ１に使用されているアーム部材３５０の特徴的構成について説明する。
（アーム部材の構成）
　アーム部材３５０は、図３６、図３７、図３９、図４０等に示すように、ノブ本体４０の後端部において、垂直方向に回動可能に取り付けられるアーム回動軸３５１、アーム回動軸３５１から二股状に延設された一対の湾曲アーム３５２、及び、各湾曲アーム３５２の後端部に一体に設けられた薄板状の弾性片３７０、及び、弾性片３７０の両側に連結され、円弧状に延設されたリング状部材３５３を有している。更に、各リング状部材３５３の上側自由端部３５４と湾曲アーム３５２の後端部における上側面３５５との間には、第１スリット部３５６が形成されている。同様に、リング状部材３５３の下側自由端部３５７と湾曲アーム３５２の後端部における下側面３５８との間には、第２スリット部３５９が形成されている。
　ここに、アーム部材３５０における二股状の各湾曲アーム３５２の間に、中央垂直フィン２０Ａの連結シャフト２６が係合し、これによりノブ本体４０のスライド移動に伴う力が中央垂直フィン２０Ａに対して伝達される。 Hereinafter, a characteristic configuration of the arm member 350 used in the register 1 according to the fourth embodiment will be described.
(Configuration of arm member)
As shown in FIGS. 36, 37, 39, 40, and the like, the arm member 350 includes an arm rotation shaft 351 and an arm rotation shaft that are rotatably attached to the rear end portion of the knob body 40 in the vertical direction. A pair of curved arms 352 extending in a bifurcated manner from 351, a thin plate-like elastic piece 370 integrally provided at the rear end of each curved arm 352, and coupled to both sides of the elastic piece 370, It has the ring-shaped member 353 extended in the arc shape. Further, a first slit portion 356 is formed between the upper free end portion 354 of each ring-shaped member 353 and the upper side surface 355 at the rear end portion of the curved arm 352. Similarly, a second slit portion 359 is formed between the lower free end portion 357 of the ring-shaped member 353 and the lower side surface 358 at the rear end portion of the curved arm 352.
Here, the connecting shaft 26 of the central vertical fin 20A is engaged between the bifurcated curved arms 352 of the arm member 350, whereby the force accompanying the sliding movement of the knob body 40 is applied to the central vertical fin 20A. Communicated.
　アーム回動軸３５１は、アーム部材３５０の前端部の外側部分に、左右方向に突出するように形成されており、左右両側のアーム回動軸３５１が同軸上に位置している。図３等に示すように、アーム回動軸３５１は、ノブ本体４０後端部に形成された軸保持部４２によって、回動自在に保持されている。これにより、アーム部材３５０は、ノブ本体４０に対して、アーム回動軸３５１を中心として垂直方向へ回動可能に連結されている。 The arm rotation shaft 351 is formed on the outer portion of the front end portion of the arm member 350 so as to protrude in the left-right direction, and the left and right arm rotation shafts 351 are coaxially positioned. As shown in FIG. 3 and the like, the arm rotation shaft 351 is rotatably held by a shaft holding portion 42 formed at the rear end portion of the knob body 40. Accordingly, the arm member 350 is connected to the knob body 40 so as to be rotatable in the vertical direction around the arm rotation shaft 351.
　二股状の湾曲アーム３５２は、アーム回動軸３５１の左右方向中央部分において、左右方向に間隔を空けて形成されており、アーム部材３５０の前端部から後方に向かって延びている。図４０、図４１に示すように、湾曲アーム３５２は、アーム回動軸３５１から後方に向かって延びる途中で下方に向かって一度湾曲した後、その後方において上方に向かって湾曲している。二股状に形成された湾曲アーム３５２の間には、中央垂直フィン２０Ａの連結シャフト２６が配置される（図３、図３６乃至図３９参照）。換言すれば、一対の湾曲アーム３５２は、連結シャフト２６を挟んで左右両側に配設される。 The bifurcated curved arm 352 is formed at a central portion in the left-right direction of the arm rotation shaft 351 with a space in the left-right direction, and extends rearward from the front end portion of the arm member 350. As shown in FIGS. 40 and 41, the bending arm 352 is once bent downward while being extended rearward from the arm rotation shaft 351, and then bent upward at the rear thereof. The connecting shaft 26 of the central vertical fin 20A is disposed between the curved arms 352 formed in a bifurcated shape (see FIGS. 3 and 36 to 39). In other words, the pair of curved arms 352 are disposed on both the left and right sides with the connecting shaft 26 interposed therebetween.
　従って、操作ノブ３０がスライド移動すると、ノブ本体４０と共に、アーム部材２５０も移動する為、湾曲アーム２５２は、中央垂直フィン２０Ａの連結シャフト２６を押圧する。そして、この連結シャフト２６の押圧に伴って、中央垂直フィン２０Ａが左右方向へ回動し、これにより他の垂直フィン２０も、連動して左右方向に回動する。 Therefore, when the operation knob 30 is slid, the arm member 250 is moved together with the knob body 40, so that the bending arm 252 presses the connecting shaft 26 of the central vertical fin 20A. As the connecting shaft 26 is pressed, the central vertical fin 20A rotates in the left-right direction, and thereby the other vertical fins 20 also rotate in the left-right direction in conjunction with each other.
　尚、第４実施形態においては、中央水平フィン１０Ａの上下方向への回動に伴って、操作ノブ３０も上下方向に回動するが、一対の湾曲アーム２５２の間に、上下方向に延びる連結シャフト２６が配置されている為、湾曲アーム２５２が、操作ノブ３０の上下方向への回動に伴って、連結シャフト２６に接触することはない。従って、操作ノブ３０の上下方向に対する回動は、複数の垂直フィン２０を左右方向へ回動させることはない。 In the fourth embodiment, as the central horizontal fin 10A rotates in the vertical direction, the operation knob 30 also rotates in the vertical direction. However, the connection extending between the pair of curved arms 252 extends in the vertical direction. Since the shaft 26 is disposed, the bending arm 252 does not come into contact with the connecting shaft 26 as the operation knob 30 is rotated in the vertical direction. Therefore, the rotation of the operation knob 30 in the vertical direction does not rotate the plurality of vertical fins 20 in the left-right direction.
　各湾曲アーム２５２の後端部には、薄板状の弾性片３７０が一体に設けられており、かかる弾性片３７０は、各湾曲アーム３５２の後端部から上下方向に延出されている。弾性片３７０の上端及び下端は、円弧状に延設されたリング状部材３５３の内側面に連結されている。これにより、リング状部材３５３は、弾性片３７０の上下両側で連結保持されることとなり、リング状部材３５３は弾性片３７０の可撓性に基づきフレキシブルに可動となる。かかるリング状部材３５３の上面３６０は、図３６、図３７、図３９に示すように、上側張出部２７側に対向しており、また、リング状部材３５３の下面３６１は、下側張出部２８に対向している。 A thin plate-like elastic piece 370 is integrally provided at the rear end portion of each curved arm 252, and the elastic piece 370 extends in the vertical direction from the rear end portion of each curved arm 352. The upper end and the lower end of the elastic piece 370 are connected to the inner surface of a ring-shaped member 353 extending in an arc shape. Thereby, the ring-shaped member 353 is connected and held on both the upper and lower sides of the elastic piece 370, and the ring-shaped member 353 is flexibly movable based on the flexibility of the elastic piece 370. As shown in FIGS. 36, 37, and 39, the upper surface 360 of the ring-shaped member 353 faces the upper projecting portion 27 side, and the lower surface 361 of the ring-shaped member 353 has a lower projecting surface. It faces the portion 28.
　また、図４０、図４２に示すように、リング状部材３５３の厚さは周縁部に近接するに従ってテーパ状に薄く形成され、また、リング状部材３５３の周端面は断面視で三角形状に形成されている。これより、上側張出部２７に対してリング状部材３５３の上面３６０が接触する際の接触面積を小さくすると共に、下側張出部２８に対してリング状部材３５３の下面３６１が接触する際の接触面積を小さくすることができる。これにより、リング状部材３５３が上側張出部２７又は下側張出部２８に対して接触する際に生じる異音を低減することができる。 As shown in FIGS. 40 and 42, the thickness of the ring-shaped member 353 is formed as a taper as it approaches the peripheral edge, and the peripheral end surface of the ring-shaped member 353 is formed in a triangular shape in cross-sectional view. Has been. Accordingly, the contact area when the upper surface 360 of the ring-shaped member 353 contacts the upper projecting portion 27 is reduced, and the lower surface 361 of the ring-shaped member 353 contacts the lower projecting portion 28. The contact area can be reduced. Thereby, the abnormal noise which arises when the ring-shaped member 353 contacts with the upper side overhang | projection part 27 or the lower side overhang | projection part 28 can be reduced.
（レジスタの動作）
　続いて、上述のように構成された第４実施形態に係るレジスタ１において、シャッタ４を開けた状態で空気の吹出方向を上下左右に調整する方法について説明する。先ず、空気の吹出方向を左右に調整する場合について説明する。この場合、使用者は、中央水平フィン１０Ａに沿って、操作ノブ３０を左右方向にスライド移動させる。これにより、操作ノブ３０の移動力がアーム部材１５０の湾曲アーム１５２から、連結シャフト２６を介して、中央垂直フィン２０Ａに伝達される。これにより、中央垂直フィン２０Ａが左右方向に回動する為、他の垂直フィン２０は、各リンク支持軸２４及びリンク部材６０を介して、それに連動して左右方向に回動する。これにより、当該レジスタ１によれば、操作ノブ３０を左右方向にスライド移動させることで、空気の吹出方向を、所望の方向へ左右に調整することができる。 (Register operation)
Subsequently, in the register 1 according to the fourth embodiment configured as described above, a method of adjusting the air blowing direction up, down, left, and right with the shutter 4 opened will be described. First, the case where the air blowing direction is adjusted to the right and left will be described. In this case, the user slides the operation knob 30 in the left-right direction along the central horizontal fin 10A. Thereby, the moving force of the operation knob 30 is transmitted from the curved arm 152 of the arm member 150 to the central vertical fin 20 </ b> A via the connection shaft 26. Accordingly, since the central vertical fin 20A rotates in the left-right direction, the other vertical fins 20 rotate in the left-right direction in conjunction with the link support shafts 24 and the link members 60. Thereby, according to the said register | resistor 1, the blowing direction of air can be adjusted right and left to a desired direction by sliding the operation knob 30 to the left and right direction.
　続いて、第４実施形態に係るレジスタ１において、空気の吹出方向を上下に調整する場合について、図面を参照しつつ詳細に説明する。 Subsequently, in the register 1 according to the fourth embodiment, the case where the air blowing direction is adjusted up and down will be described in detail with reference to the drawings.
（通常状態における連結機構部の状態）
　はじめに、各水平フィン１０の前端と後端が同じ高さとなる通常状態である場合について、図３６を参照しつつ説明する。通常状態にある場合、操作ノブ３０のノブ本体４０は、中央水平フィン１０Ａと共に、ノブ本体４０の前端と後端が同じ高さとなる状態となっている。 (The state of the coupling mechanism in the normal state)
First, the case of the normal state where the front end and the rear end of each horizontal fin 10 are the same height will be described with reference to FIG. When in the normal state, the knob body 40 of the operation knob 30 is in a state where the front end and the rear end of the knob body 40 are at the same height together with the central horizontal fin 10A.
　ここで、第４実施形態における操作ノブ３０においては、上述したように、アーム部材３５０は、ノブ本体４０の後端部において、上下方向に回動可能に軸支されており、湾曲アーム２３２の後端部に一体に形成されたリング状部材３５３を有している。従って、アーム部材３５０は、ノブ本体４０の後端部において、アーム回動軸３５１を軸に回動可能な状態にあり、上側張出部２７と下側張出部２８の間の切欠部２５内には、リング状部材３５３の上面３６０及び下面３６１が位置している。 Here, in the operation knob 30 according to the fourth embodiment, as described above, the arm member 350 is pivotally supported at the rear end portion of the knob body 40 so as to be pivotable in the vertical direction. It has a ring-shaped member 353 integrally formed at the rear end. Therefore, the arm member 350 is in a state of being rotatable about the arm rotation shaft 351 at the rear end portion of the knob body 40, and the notch 25 between the upper overhanging portion 27 and the lower overhanging portion 28. Inside, the upper surface 360 and the lower surface 361 of the ring-shaped member 353 are located.
（下方回動状態における連結機構部の状態）
　次に、複数の水平フィン１０を水平状態から下方回動状態に変更し、空気の吹出方向を下向きに調整する場合について説明する。 (The state of the connecting mechanism in the downward rotation state)
Next, a case where the plurality of horizontal fins 10 are changed from the horizontal state to the downward rotation state and the air blowing direction is adjusted downward will be described.
　複数の水平フィン１０を下方回動状態に調整する場合、使用者は、操作ノブ３０を用いて、中央水平フィン１０Ａを下方向に回動させ、水平フィン本体１１の前端が下側に、後端が上側になるように調整する。この中央水平フィン１０Ａの回動に連動して、他の水平フィン１０も同様に、水平フィン本体１１の前端が下側に、後端が上側になるように回動する。これにより、第３実施形態のレジスタ１によれば、操作ノブ３０を下方向に回動させることで、空気の吹出方向を、所望の下方向に調整することができる（図４３参照）。 When adjusting the plurality of horizontal fins 10 to the downward rotation state, the user uses the operation knob 30 to rotate the central horizontal fin 10A downward so that the front end of the horizontal fin body 11 is on the lower side and the rear side. Adjust so that the edge is on the top. In conjunction with the rotation of the central horizontal fin 10A, the other horizontal fins 10 are similarly rotated so that the front end of the horizontal fin body 11 is on the lower side and the rear end is on the upper side. Thereby, according to the register | resistor 1 of 3rd Embodiment, the blowing direction of air can be adjusted to a desired downward direction by rotating the operation knob 30 downward (refer FIG. 43).
　この時、中央水平フィン１０Ａの回動に伴って、軸保持部４２が形成されているノブ本体４０の後端側が、通常状態の位置から斜め前方上側に移動する為、アーム部材３５０は、アーム回動軸３５１を軸に回動しながら前方に移動し、リング状部材３５３の上面３６０及び下面３６１も連動して前方へ移動していく。図４３に示すように、水平フィン１０を限界まで下方へ回動させると、リング状部材３５３の上面３６０の一部のみが、中央垂直フィン２０Ａの上側張出部２７下面と当接する。尚、この時、中央垂直フィン２０Ａの下側張出部２８上面と、リング状部材３５３の下面３６１との間には、所定の隙間が形成されている。 At this time, as the central horizontal fin 10A is rotated, the rear end side of the knob body 40 in which the shaft holding portion 42 is formed moves obliquely forward and upward from the normal position. The ring-shaped member 353 moves forward while being rotated about the rotation shaft 351, and the upper surface 360 and the lower surface 361 of the ring-shaped member 353 are also moved forward. As shown in FIG. 43, when the horizontal fin 10 is rotated downward to the limit, only a part of the upper surface 360 of the ring-shaped member 353 comes into contact with the lower surface of the upper projecting portion 27 of the central vertical fin 20A. At this time, a predetermined gap is formed between the upper surface of the lower projecting portion 28 of the central vertical fin 20 </ b> A and the lower surface 361 of the ring-shaped member 353.
　上述したように、リング状部材３５３の上面３６０は、側面視において、上側張出部２７側に突出する円弧を描くように湾曲している為、リング状部材３５３の上面３６０と上側張出部２７との間の距離は、湾曲アーム３５２の先端に比べて十分に小さい。従って、前記レジスタ１によれば、複数の水平フィン１０を下方回動状態に調整する場合に、リング状部材３５３の上面３６０が上側張出部２７の下面と当接する際の異音の音量を低減することができる。 As described above, since the upper surface 360 of the ring-shaped member 353 is curved so as to draw an arc that protrudes toward the upper projecting portion 27 in a side view, the upper surface 360 and the upper projecting portion of the ring-shaped member 353 are curved. 27 is sufficiently smaller than the tip of the bending arm 352. Therefore, according to the register 1, when the plurality of horizontal fins 10 are adjusted to the downward rotation state, the volume of the abnormal noise when the upper surface 360 of the ring-shaped member 353 comes into contact with the lower surface of the upper overhanging portion 27 is increased. Can be reduced.
　又、前記したように、リング状部材３５３の上面３６０は、湾曲アーム３５２の先端から円弧を描くように突出形成されている為、上側張出部２７に対して上面３６０が接触する場合の衝撃を、リング状部材３５３の弾性変形によって吸収することができる。即ち、レジスタ１によれば、この点においても、複数の水平フィン１０を下方回動状態に調整する場合に、リング状部材３５３の上面３６０が上側張出部２７の下面と当接する際の異音の音量を低減することができる。 Further, as described above, the upper surface 360 of the ring-shaped member 353 is formed so as to draw an arc from the tip of the curved arm 352, so that the impact when the upper surface 360 comes into contact with the upper projecting portion 27. Can be absorbed by the elastic deformation of the ring-shaped member 353. That is, according to the register 1, also in this respect, when the plurality of horizontal fins 10 are adjusted to the downward rotation state, the difference when the upper surface 360 of the ring-shaped member 353 comes into contact with the lower surface of the upper projecting portion 27 is different. The sound volume can be reduced.
　中央垂直フィン２０Ａの上側張出部２７下面に対して、リング状部材３５３の上面３６０の一部のみが当接する。即ち、レジスタ１によれば、上側張出部２７に対して上面３６０が接触する際の接触面積を小さくすることができるので、上側張出部２７に対して、アーム部材３５０が接触することで生じる異音の音量を低減し得る。 Only a part of the upper surface 360 of the ring-shaped member 353 comes into contact with the lower surface of the upper overhanging portion 27 of the central vertical fin 20A. That is, according to the register 1, the contact area when the upper surface 360 is in contact with the upper overhanging portion 27 can be reduced, so that the arm member 350 is in contact with the upper overhanging portion 27. The volume of the abnormal noise that occurs can be reduced.
（上方回動状態における連結機構部の状態）
　続いて、複数の水平フィン１０を水平状態から上方回動状態に変更し、空気の吹出方向を上向きに調整する場合について説明する。 (The state of the connecting mechanism in the upward rotation state)
Subsequently, the case where the plurality of horizontal fins 10 are changed from the horizontal state to the upward rotation state and the air blowing direction is adjusted upward will be described.
　複数の水平フィン１０を上方回動状態に調整する場合、使用者は、操作ノブ３０を用いて、中央水平フィン１０Ａを上方向に回動させ、水平フィン本体１１の前端が上側に、後端が下側になるように調整する。この中央水平フィン１０Ａの回動に連動して、他の水平フィン１０も同様に、水平フィン本体１１の前端が上側に、後端が下側になるように回動する。これにより、レジスタ１によれば、操作ノブ３０を上方向に回動させることで、空気の吹出方向を、所望の上方向に調整することができる（図４４参照）。 When adjusting the plurality of horizontal fins 10 to the upward rotation state, the user rotates the central horizontal fin 10 </ b> A upward using the operation knob 30 so that the front end of the horizontal fin body 11 is on the upper side and the rear end. Adjust so that is at the bottom. In conjunction with the rotation of the central horizontal fin 10A, the other horizontal fins 10 are similarly rotated so that the front end of the horizontal fin body 11 is on the upper side and the rear end is on the lower side. Thereby, according to the register | resistor 1, the blowing direction of air can be adjusted to a desired upward direction by rotating the operation knob 30 upward (refer FIG. 44).
　この時、中央水平フィン１０Ａの回動に伴って、軸保持部４２が形成されているノブ本体４０の後端側が、通常状態の位置から斜め前方下側に移動する為、アーム部材３５０は、アーム回動軸３５１を軸に回動しながら前方に移動し、リング状部材３５３の上面３６０及び下面３６１も連動して前方へ移動していく。 At this time, as the central horizontal fin 10A rotates, the rear end side of the knob body 40 on which the shaft holding portion 42 is formed moves diagonally forward and downward from the normal position. It moves forward while rotating about the arm rotation shaft 351, and the upper surface 360 and the lower surface 361 of the ring-shaped member 353 also move forward in conjunction with each other.
　ここで、アーム部材３５０の各湾曲アーム３５２は、上方に向かって突出するように湾曲している為、湾曲アーム３５２が下側張出部２８の前端上面に干渉することはない。従って、水平フィン１０を上方に回動させ得る範囲が、下側張出部２８とアーム部材３５０の接触によって制限されることはなく、操作ノブ３０による操作性を維持することができる。 Here, since each curved arm 352 of the arm member 350 is curved so as to protrude upward, the curved arm 352 does not interfere with the upper surface of the front end of the lower projecting portion 28. Therefore, the range in which the horizontal fin 10 can be rotated upward is not limited by the contact between the lower projecting portion 28 and the arm member 350, and the operability by the operation knob 30 can be maintained.
　図４４に示すように、水平フィン１０を限界まで上方へ回動させると、リング状部材３５３の上面３６０の一部のみが、中央垂直フィン２０Ａの下側張出部２８上面と当接する。尚、この時、中央垂直フィン２０Ａの上側張出部２７上面と、リング状部材３５３の上面３６０との間には、所定の隙間が形成されている。 44, when the horizontal fin 10 is rotated upward to the limit, only a part of the upper surface 360 of the ring-shaped member 353 comes into contact with the upper surface of the lower protruding portion 28 of the central vertical fin 20A. At this time, a predetermined gap is formed between the upper surface of the upper projecting portion 27 of the central vertical fin 20 </ b> A and the upper surface 360 of the ring-shaped member 353.
　ここに、リング状部材３５３の下面３６１は、側面視において、下側張出部２８側に突出する円弧を描くように湾曲している為、リング状部材３５３の下面３６１と下側張出部２８との間の距離は、湾曲アーム３５２の先端に比べて十分に小さい。従って、レジスタ１によれば、複数の水平フィン１０を上方回動状態に調整する場合に、リング状部材３５３の下面３６１が下側張出部２８の上面と当接する際の異音の音量を低減することができる。 Here, since the lower surface 361 of the ring-shaped member 353 is curved so as to draw an arc projecting toward the lower projecting portion 28 in a side view, the lower surface 361 and the lower projecting portion of the ring-shaped member 353 are curved. The distance between the two is sufficiently smaller than the tip of the curved arm 352. Therefore, according to the register 1, when adjusting the plurality of horizontal fins 10 to the upward rotation state, the volume of the abnormal noise when the lower surface 361 of the ring-shaped member 353 comes into contact with the upper surface of the lower projecting portion 28 is increased. Can be reduced.
　又、リング状部材３５３の下面３６１は、湾曲アーム３５２の先端から円弧を描くように突出形成されている為、下側張出部２８に対して下面３６１が接触した場合の衝撃を、リング状部材３５３の弾性変形によって吸収することができる。即ち、レジスタ１によれば、この点においても、複数の水平フィン１０を上方回動状態に調整する場合に、リング状部材３５３の下面３６１が下側張出部２８の上面と当接する際の異音の音量を低減することができる。 Further, since the lower surface 361 of the ring-shaped member 353 is formed so as to draw an arc from the tip of the curved arm 352, an impact when the lower surface 361 comes into contact with the lower projecting portion 28 is affected by the ring shape. It can be absorbed by elastic deformation of the member 353. That is, according to the register 1, also in this point, when the plurality of horizontal fins 10 are adjusted to the upward rotation state, the lower surface 361 of the ring-shaped member 353 comes into contact with the upper surface of the lower projecting portion 28. The volume of abnormal noise can be reduced.
　中央垂直フィン２０Ａの下側張出部２８上面に対して、リング状部材３５３の上面３６０の一部のみが当接する。即ち、レジスタ１によれば、下側張出部２８に対して下面３６１が接触する際の接触面積を小さくすることができるので、下側張出部２８に対して、アーム部材３５０が接触することで生じる異音の音量を低減し得る。 Only a part of the upper surface 360 of the ring-shaped member 353 comes into contact with the upper surface of the lower overhanging portion 28 of the central vertical fin 20A. That is, according to the register 1, the contact area when the lower surface 361 contacts the lower projecting portion 28 can be reduced, so that the arm member 350 contacts the lower projecting portion 28. Therefore, the volume of abnormal noise generated can be reduced.
　図４３、図４４に示すように、第４実施形態におけるレジスタ１によれば、操作ノブ３０を操作して複数の水平フィン１０を上下方向に回動させる何れの過程においても、上側張出部２７とリング状部材３５３の上面３６０の間、又は、下側張出部２８とリング状部材３５３の下面３６１の間の何れか一方に隙間が形成される。従って、レジスタ１によれば、操作ノブ３０を操作して複数の水平フィン１０を上下方向に回動させる操作に際して、アーム部材３５０との間に大きな摩擦抵抗が生じることはなく、空気の吹出方向を上下に調整する際の操作性を良好に維持することができる。 As shown in FIGS. 43 and 44, according to the register 1 in the fourth embodiment, the upper overhanging portion is used in any process of operating the operation knob 30 to rotate the plurality of horizontal fins 10 in the vertical direction. 27 and a top surface 360 of the ring-shaped member 353 or a gap is formed between the lower projecting portion 28 and the bottom surface 361 of the ring-shaped member 353. Therefore, according to the register 1, when the operation knob 30 is operated to rotate the plurality of horizontal fins 10 in the vertical direction, no large frictional resistance is generated between the arm member 350 and the air blowing direction. The operability when adjusting the height up and down can be maintained well.
　又、リング状部材３５３の上面３６０及び下面３６１は、アーム部材３５０における湾曲アーム３５２を基準として、夫々、上側張出部２７及び下側張出部２８に近づくような円弧を描くように形成されている為、アーム部材３５０に対する上側張出部２７、下側張出部２８の距離を短くすることができる。従って、操作ノブ３０を操作して複数の水平フィン１０を上下方向に回動させる場合に、上側張出部２７、下側張出部２８に接触するまでにアーム部材３５０が移動する距離を短くすることができる為、両者の接触に起因する異音の大きさを低減することができる。 Further, the upper surface 360 and the lower surface 361 of the ring-shaped member 353 are formed so as to draw arcs that approach the upper projecting portion 27 and the lower projecting portion 28, respectively, with respect to the curved arm 352 of the arm member 350. Therefore, the distance between the upper projecting portion 27 and the lower projecting portion 28 with respect to the arm member 350 can be shortened. Therefore, when the operation knob 30 is operated to rotate the plurality of horizontal fins 10 in the vertical direction, the distance that the arm member 350 moves before contacting the upper overhanging portion 27 and the lower overhanging portion 28 is shortened. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the size of abnormal noise resulting from the contact between the two.
　以上説明した通り第４実施形態に係るレジスタ１では、アーム部材３５０は、操作ノブ３０の後部に回動可能に取り付けられるアーム回動軸３５１と、アーム回動軸３５１から二股状に延設された一対の湾曲アーム３５２と、各湾曲アーム３５２の後端部に一体に設けられた薄板状の弾性片３７０と、弾性片３７０の両側に連結され、円弧状に延設されたリング状部材３５３と、各リング状部材３５３の上側自由端部３５４と湾曲アーム３５２の後端部における上側面３５５との間に形成された第１スリット部３５６と、リング状部材３５３の下側自由端部３５７と湾曲アーム３５２の後端部における下側面３５８との間に形成された第２スリット部３５９とを備えている。
　前記のように構成されたレジスタ１のアーム部材３５０では、アーム回動軸３５１から二股状に延設された一対の各湾曲アーム３５２の後端部に設けられた弾性片３７０の両側に円弧上に延設された一対のリング状部材３５３が連結されており、プレート状部材の中央部から肉抜きをした構成を有するので、アーム部材３５０の軽量化を図ることができ、また、アーム部材３５０の軽量化に基づきリング状部材３５３の上面３６０又は下面３６１と上側張出部２７又は下側張出部２８とが接触する際の衝撃を小さくして接触時の異音を低減することができる。
　また、リング状部材３５３の上側自由端部３５４と湾曲アーム３５２の後端部における上側面３５５との間に第１スリット部３５６が形成されるとともに、リング状部材３５３の下側自由端部３５７と湾曲アーム３５２の後端部における下側面３５８との間に第２スリット部３５９が形成されているので、リング状部材３５３は容易に弾性変形して撓み易くなり、これよりリング状部材３５３の上面３６０又は下面３６１と上側張出部２７又は下側張出部２８とが接触する際の衝撃を小さくして接触時の異音を低減することができる。 As described above, in the register 1 according to the fourth embodiment, the arm member 350 is bifurcated from the arm rotation shaft 351 that is rotatably attached to the rear portion of the operation knob 30 and the arm rotation shaft 351. A pair of bending arms 352, a thin plate-like elastic piece 370 integrally provided at the rear end of each bending arm 352, and a ring-shaped member 353 connected to both sides of the elastic piece 370 and extending in an arc shape. A first slit portion 356 formed between the upper free end portion 354 of each ring-shaped member 353 and the upper side surface 355 of the rear end portion of the curved arm 352, and the lower free end portion 357 of the ring-shaped member 353. And a second slit portion 359 formed between the curved arm 352 and the lower side surface 358 at the rear end portion thereof.
In the arm member 350 of the register 1 configured as described above, a circular arc is formed on both sides of the elastic piece 370 provided at the rear end portion of each of the pair of curved arms 352 extending in a bifurcated manner from the arm rotation shaft 351. A pair of ring-shaped members 353 extending to each other are connected to each other, and have a structure in which the central portion of the plate-shaped member is cut out, so that the weight of the arm member 350 can be reduced, and the arm member 350 can be reduced. Based on the weight reduction, the impact when the upper surface 360 or the lower surface 361 of the ring-shaped member 353 comes into contact with the upper overhanging portion 27 or the lower overhanging portion 28 can be reduced, and abnormal noise at the time of contact can be reduced. .
A first slit 356 is formed between the upper free end 354 of the ring-shaped member 353 and the upper side surface 355 of the rear end of the curved arm 352, and the lower free end 357 of the ring-shaped member 353. And the lower slit 359 at the rear end portion of the curved arm 352, the second slit portion 359 is formed, so that the ring-shaped member 353 is easily elastically deformed and easily bent. It is possible to reduce an impact when the upper surface 360 or the lower surface 361 and the upper overhanging portion 27 or the lower overhanging portion 28 are in contact with each other, thereby reducing abnormal noise during the contact.
　また、リング状部材３５３の厚さは周縁部に近接するに従ってテーパ状に薄く形成され、また、リング状部材３５３の周端面は断面視で三角形状に形成されているので、上側張出部２７に対してリング状部材３５３の上側部が接触する際の接触面積を小さくすると共に、下側張出部２８に対してリング状部材３５３の下側部が接触する際の接触面積を小さくすることができる。これにより、リング状部材３５３が上側張出部２７又は下側張出部２８に対して接触する際に生じる異音を低減することができる。 Further, the thickness of the ring-shaped member 353 is formed as a taper as it approaches the peripheral edge, and the peripheral end surface of the ring-shaped member 353 is formed in a triangular shape in a cross-sectional view. The contact area when the upper part of the ring-shaped member 353 comes into contact with the lower projecting part 28 and the contact area when the lower part of the ring-shaped member 353 comes into contact with the lower projecting part 28 are reduced. Can do. Thereby, the abnormal noise which arises when the ring-shaped member 353 contacts with the upper side overhang | projection part 27 or the lower side overhang | projection part 28 can be reduced.
　尚、本発明は、上述した実施形態に限定されるものではなく、本発明の要旨を逸脱しない範囲内で種々の改良、変形が可能であることは勿論である。例えば、本発明に係るアーム部材の上側接触片及び下側接触片は、上述した実施形態に係るアーム部材５０における上側接触片５３及び下側接触片５６の形状に限定されるものではない。例えば、上側接触片における上側張出部側の面、下側接触片における下側張出部側の面を、曲面状に形成することによって、上側接触部や下側接触部を構成してもよい。 In addition, this invention is not limited to embodiment mentioned above, Of course, various improvement and deformation | transformation are possible within the range which does not deviate from the summary of this invention. For example, the upper contact piece and the lower contact piece of the arm member according to the present invention are not limited to the shapes of the upper contact piece 53 and the lower contact piece 56 in the arm member 50 according to the above-described embodiment. For example, the upper contact portion and the lower contact portion may be configured by forming the upper contact portion side surface of the upper contact piece and the lower contact portion side surface of the lower contact piece into a curved shape.
