Abstract

A motor vehicle, includes a ventilation device for supplying air into the interior of the vehicle. The ventilation device includes at least one air outlet nozzle oriented toward an interior of the vehicle and is connected to a channel via which air is conductible to the air outlet nozzle. The air outlet nozzle has a first outlet region receiving the air supplied via the channel, and a second outlet region separate from the first outlet region, the second outlet region being connected with another channel for conducting a gaseous fragrance to the second outlet region.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1 . A motor vehicle, comprising a ventilation device for supplying air into the interior of the vehicle, said ventilation device comprising at least one air outlet nozzle oriented toward an interior of the vehicle and being connected to a channel via which air is conductible to the air outlet nozzle, said air outlet nozzle having a first outlet region receiving the air supplied via the channel, and a second outlet region separate from the first outlet region, said second outlet region being connected with another channel for conducting a gaseous fragrance to the second outlet region.

2 . The motor vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the first and the second outlet regions are separated from each other via a fixed wall element.

3 . The motor vehicle of claim 1 , wherein the first and second outlet are separated by a movable wall element, wherein in a closed position of the movable wall element inflowing air is only supplied to the first outlet region, and wherein in an open position of the movable wall element the inflowing air is supplied to the first and second outlet regions.

4 . The motor vehicle of claim 3 , wherein the movable wall element is supported pivotally.

5 . The motor vehicle of claim 3 or 4 , further comprising a manual operating element provided on a side of the air outlet nozzle which faces the interior for adjusting the wall element.

6 . The motor vehicle of claim 4 , further comprising a manual operating element provided on a side of the air outlet nozzle which faces the interior for adjusting the wall element.

7 . The motor vehicle of claim 1 , further comprising a flap-shaped blocking element, constructed for blocking an inflow cross section of the channel, wherein the gaseous fragrance is conductible into the interior of the motor vehicle independent of a position of the blocking element.

8 . The motor vehicle of claim 1 , wherein another channel is constructed as a tube which leads into the second outlet region.

9 . An air outlet nozzle for a motor vehicle, said air outlet nozzle being oriented toward an interior of the vehicle and being connected to a channel via which air is conductible to the air outlet nozzle, said air outlet nozzle having a first outlet region receiving the air supplied via the channel and a second outlet region separate from the first outlet region, said second outlet region being connected with another channel for conducting a gaseous fragrance to the second outlet region.

10 . The air outlet nozzle of claim 9 , wherein the first and the second outlet region are separated from each other via a fixed wall element.

11 . The air outlet nozzle of claim 9 , wherein the first and the second outlet region are separated from each other by an adjustable wall element.

12 . The air outlet nozzle of claim 11 , the wall element is supported pivotally.

13 . The air outlet nozzle of claim 11 , further comprising a manual operating element provided on a front side of the air outlet nozzle for adjusting the wall element.

14 . The air outlet nozzle of claim 9 , further comprising a flap-shaped blocking element constructed for blocking an inflow cross section of the channel, wherein the gaseous fragrance is conductible into the interior of the motor vehicle independent of a position of the blocking element.
