The invention relates to a device (20) for adjusting a rate of flow of air flowing along an air duct, comprising: a tubular body (22) extending along an axis (24); at least one flap (28) able to pivot about an axis transverse to the axis (24) of the body (22); a ring (34) mounted to pivot on an end
The invention relates to a device (20) for adjusting a rate of flow of air flowing along an air duct, comprising: a tubular body (22) extending along an axis (24); at least one flap (28) able to pivot about an axis transverse to the axis (24) of the body (22); a ring (34) mounted to pivot on an end portion (22b) of the body (22) about the axis (24) of this body; each flap (28) being provided with a male drive means and the ring (34) being provided with a female drive means, or vice versa, the male drive means and the female drive means being arranged in such a way that, in response to the ring (34) being pivoted about the body (22), the male drive means engages with the female drive means to alter the position of each flap (28) and hence the cross section available for the passage of air.

1. A device for adjusting a flow rate of air flowing in an air duct, comprising: a tubular body extending along an axis fluidly connected to the air duct;at least one flap extending inside the body and adapted to pivot about an axis transverse to the axis of the body, to occupy a plurality of positions corresponding to a plurality of air passage cross sections;a ring pivotally mounted on an end portion of the body about the axis of this body;each flap being provided with a male drive means, and the ring being provided with a female drive means, or vice versa,the male drive means and the female drive means being arranged in such a way that, in response to a pivoting of the ring on the body, the male drive means cooperates with the female drive means to alter the position of each flap and, as a consequence, the air passage cross section. 2. The device according to claim 1, wherein each flap is provided with the male drive means, and the ring (34) is provided with the female drive means. 3. The device according to claim 1, wherein the pivot axis of each flap extends at an upstream end portion of the body, in the air flow direction, and the male and female drive means are disposed at a downstream end portion. 4. The device according to claim 1, wherein the male drive means comprises a finger, the female drive means comprises a tab extending in a plane transverse to the axis of the body and wherein a C-shaped slot adapted to receive the finger is provided. 5. The device according to claim 4, wherein the slot has two end portions shaped to receive, and immobilize, the finger. 6. The device according to claim 1, wherein each flap is molded to the body, and in that each flap has a thinning of material defining the pivot axis of this flap. 7. The device according to claim 1, wherein the body is provided with a male snap-fastening member and the ring is provided with a female snap-fastening member, or vice versa, the male and female snap-fastening members being designed to prevent axial translation of the ring on the body and allow the ring to pivot on the body. 8. The device according to claim 1, wherein the ring and the body have complementary indexing means, such as bosses and notches, adapted to receive, and immobilize, the ring in at least one predetermined position relative to the body. 9. The device according to claim 1, wherein the ring has a splined outer side. 10. The device according to claim 1, wherein the ring has an outer diameter substantially equal to the outer diameter of the body, and preferably an inner diameter substantially equal to the inner diameter of the body. 11. The device according to claim 1, further comprising a flexible chamber arranged to inflate, or deflate, according to the pressure difference between the upstream and downstream end portions of the body.
