Touch Adjustable Register

Abstract

The present invention is an air register utilizing gross motor movement to control air flow. The register has an outer frame with an inner grate body capable of moving relative to said outer frame, which then serves as the switch for the register. The inner grate body is capable of interfacing with means in the outer frame that then turn at least one louvers so as to control air flow.

1 . An air register comprising:
 a. an outer frame;   b. an inner body residing within the frame but capable of movement relative to the outer frame;   c. means of restoring the inner body to a default position relative the outer frame;   d. at least one louver residing within the outer frame and below the inner body; and   e. means of communicating movement of the inner body into movement of the at least one louvers;   wherein the inner body is a grate that will also allow air passage therethrough.   
   
   
       2 . The air register of  claim 1 , the means of communicating movement of the inner body further comprising at least one prong, one for each louver, residing on an underside of the inner body and at least one spoked wheel, one for each louver, on an end of a louver, under a prong, all being positioned such that when the inner grate is depressed, the at least one prong will interface with and impart torque upon the at least one spoked wheel by contacting and pushing a spoke on the at least one spoked wheels, thereby turning the at least one louvers. 
   
   
       3 . The air register of  claim 1 , the inner body being hinged on the outer frame. 
   
   
       4 . The air register of  claim 3 , the means of communicating movement of the inner body further comprising a prong extending downward from the inner body, a spoked wheel and at least one auxiliary wheel, each wheel operably attached to at least one louver and being mechanically coupled to each other in a manner to allow the spoked wheel to impart torque upon any others, such that when the inner body is depressed, the prong interfaces with the spoked wheel and imparts torque upon it, turning any other wheels and thereby turning the louvers.
