Baffle assembly for use with a lateral duct of an air conditioning system
A device is described for directing the flow of a fluid which comprises: a housing having an inlet and at least one outlet, the device defining a fluid flow path from the inlet to the outlet; a pivotally mounted baffle located to obstruct the fluid flow path, the baffle including a first notch portion therein. The baffle is rotated between various positions to effect differing impediments to the fluid flow along the path; means for securing the baffle in a plurality of preselected positions including an arcuate keeper member fixed across the inlet to engage the baffle such that the first notch portion of the baffle contact the keeper member to maintain the baffle in the preselected positions as the baffle, moves along the arcuate keeper member; and means for returning the baffle from a last position to a first position in the preselected positions including a camming surface fixedly mounted on the housing in coacting relation with the baffle when the baffle is moved beyond the last position, whereby the baffle moves out of engagement with the arcuate keeper member and moves to the first position.
