つた。(Prior Art) This type of air conditioner register generally consists of a register barrel placed in an opening of a bezel and swingably supported on the inner wall of the bezel, and this register barrel is manually operated. When adjusting the wind direction by swinging, it is required that the operating load be set appropriately. For this reason, in the prior art, a friction member such as felt is disposed between the opposing wall surfaces of the bezel and the register barrel (see Japanese Utility Model Publication No. 78716/1983). However, due to changes over time, the elasticity of felt decreases, and wear occurs between the support shaft and shaft hole of the register barrel, and the shaft is thermally deformed, reducing the operating load and causing the resistor barrel to deteriorate. There was a drawback that it became loose against the bezel.

る。(Structure of the invention) The air conditioner register of the invention consists of a register barrel that is placed in the opening of the bezel and is swingably supported by the inner wall of the bezel. It is characterized in that it includes a leaf spring that is disposed near the support portion of the register barrel between the outer wall and the both-side walls.

熱によつて劣化することがない。 Unlike conventional felt, the elastic force of leaf springs does not easily change over time, so it is possible to maintain an appropriate operating load over a long period of time, and since it is heat resistant, it will not deteriorate due to heat.

定が容易となる。 The resistor 10 of the present invention is arranged near the support of the register barrel 20, i.e. around the axis 18, between the inner wall 12a of the bezel 12 and the outer wall 20a of the register barrel 20, as can be seen in particular from FIG. A plate spring 22 is provided which presses against the double-sided walls 12a and 20a. As shown in the figure, the leaf spring 22 has a plurality of elastic curved portions 22a spaced apart from each other in its longitudinal direction, and is pressed against the double-sided walls 12a, 20a by the curved portions 22a. Although the leaf spring 22 is arranged horizontally in the illustrated embodiment, the leaf spring 22 may be arranged vertically, and the shaft 18 may be provided on the bezel 12 side instead of on the register barrel 20 side. good. Also, Figures 1 and 3
As shown in the figure, the outer wall 2 of the register barrel 20
Guide rib 2 with which both edges of the leaf spring 22 engage with 0a
4, the leaf spring 22 is connected to the resistor barrel 20
This is preferable because the operating load can be set appropriately by rotating together with the . Note that, as shown in FIG. 2, if the leaf spring 22 is bent as shown by the dotted line before being assembled, the operating load can be easily set together with the elastic curved portion 22a.

6 is provided. In this way, when the register barrel 20 swings, the leaf spring 22
This is preferable because it can be displaced with moderation due to the unevenness of No. 6.
