Further, after the fin assembly assembly process, the fin assembly is installed on the installation table, and the rotation shafts at both ends of the end fins among the plurality of fins are arranged above and in the vicinity of the regulation piece of the support plate. Equipped with a fin assembly installation process
In the blowout portion assembly assembly process, the frame is moved from above the fin assembly installed on the installation table toward the fin assembly with the design surface facing up and the support groove facing down. By inserting the rotation shaft of the end fin and the restricting piece of the support plate into the support groove of the frame,
The method for assembling a register device for a vehicle according to claim 5, further comprising a step of removing the blowout portion assembly from the installation table after the blowout portion assembly assembly step. On the inner surface of the support groove of the frame, a retaining convex portion is formed in the vicinity of the inner end portion of the support groove, and in the blowout portion assembly assembly step, the rotation axis of the end fin is elastic of the frame. By overcoming the retaining protrusion with deformation, it is accommodated in a temporarily held state in which it is prevented from coming off at the inner end of the support groove.
The method for assembling a register device for a vehicle according to claim 7, wherein in the blowout portion assembly detaching step, the blowout portion assembly is removed from the installation table by lifting the frame. On the inner surface of the support groove, a convex or concave first engaging portion located on the opening side of the support groove from the retaining convex portion is formed, and on the side surface of the restricting piece of the support plate, the first A second engaging portion forming a complementary shape with the first engaging portion is formed.
In the blowout portion assembly assembly process, when the restriction piece is inserted into the support groove, the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion engage with each other with elastic deformation of the frame, whereby the first engaging portion and the second engaging portion engage with each other. The method for assembling a vehicle register device according to claim 8, wherein the restricted piece is also temporarily held in the support groove. Furthermore, the case assembly assembly process for assembling the case assembly by assembling other fin assemblies to the above case, and
The case assembly installation process in which the case assembly is installed on another installation table so that the downstream end thereof is on the upper side.
In the blowout portion assembly mounting step, the blowout portion assembly is moved from above the case assembly toward the case assembly with the design surface of the frame facing up, and the frame is connected to the case. The method for assembling a vehicle register device according to any one of claims 5 to 9.
