Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2017178727A1] The present invention relates to an air diffusion device comprising a duct (3) for channeling a flow of air (F) to an outlet opening (4) that opens into an enclosure, and also closure means (6) comprising at least one thin closure element (6A, 6B, 6C) mounted so as to be able to pivot in said duct (3) upstream of said outlet opening (4) and able to adopt a closed configuration in which it blocks said duct (3) so as to prevent as far as possible said flow of air (F) escaping through said outlet opening (4); characterized in that said duct (3) comprises, downstream of said closure means (6) and upstream of said outlet opening (4), at least one lateral evacuation opening (10) located tangentially in line with the downstream section of the at least one said thin closure element(6A, 6B, 6C). The invention also relates to a dashboard incorporating at least one such air diffusion device.
