Abstract

An air grating where the air flow is controlled by a grid movable between OPEN and CLOSED positions. Control means acts when the movable grid arrives at either a warm or a cool limiting position. The arrival at a limiting position prepares said moving means for movement to the other limiting position when a later thermostat signal is received.

Claims

1. Room air grating comprising:

first stationary grid,

a second grid movable between OPEN and CLOSED positions,

a motor operable to move said second grid between said positions,

a resilient yieldable connection between said motor and said grid, whereby resistance to screen grid movement causes yielding of said connection.

2. Room air grating comprising:

a first stationary grid,

a second grid movable between OPEN and CLOSED positions,

a motor connected to drive said second grid between said positions through a yieldable connection,

wherein coincidence of motor motion to drive said second grid between said position and resistance by said grid to movement causes yielding of said connection.

3. Room air grating comprising:

a first stationary grid,

a second grid movable between OPEN and CLOSED positions,

a motor connected to drive said second grid through a yieldable connection.

4. Room air grating as claimed in claim 3 wherein said motor is connected to drive said second grid through a yieldable spring.
