An air mixer for an air distribution system for a building includes a set of fixed, substantially parallel partitions arranged in a spaced-apart, side-by-side manner, these partitions forming alternating primary and secondary air passageways. The primary air passageways are open-ended and extend from a front side to a rear side of the mixer. Front end plates extend respectively across front sides of the secondary air passageways and each has elongate edge portions extending along two opposite longitudinal edges thereof. Each elongate edge portion projects beyond the plane defined by an adjacent one of the partitions. Air flow splitters are mounted in the secondary air passageways and each is connected to an adjacent pair of the partitions. These splitters in operation of the mixer turn incoming air flow that enters the secondary air passageways towards the front end plates. Air gaps are formed between the elongate edge portions and front edges of the partitions to enable the air flow in the secondary air passageways to enter the primary passageways where the two air flows are mixed.

[ What is claimed is:] [1.] An air mixer for an air distribution system for a building or similar structure, said air mixer comprising:a set of fixed, substantially parallel partitions arranged in a spaced-apart, side-by-side manner, said partitions forming alternating primary and secondary air passageways, said primary air passageways being open ended and extending from a front side of said air mixer to a rear side of said air mixer;a side wall located on one side of said air mixer and closing said air passageways on said one side, said side wall extending substantially from said front side to said rear side of the air mixer; andfront end plates extending longitudinally across said front side of the air mixer, extending transversely and respectively across sides of said secondary air passageways located at said front side of the air mixer, and having elongate edge portions extending along longitudinal edges thereof, each elongate edge portion projecting in a transverse direction beyond the plane defined by an adjacent one of said partitions,wherein air gaps are formed between said elongate edge portions and front edges of said partitions to enable the airflow in said secondary air passageways to exit therefrom and be mixed in said primary air passageways with airflow passing through said primary air passageways from said front side of the mixer to said rear side thereof.
