Abstract: Provided is an air vent for an automobile having a duct having a passage, a knob mount coupled to the duct, a knob installed to the knob mount, first and second vane members installed to the knob mount, a vane driving device installed to the knob mount, and a damper installed in the duct. The knob is movable leftwards and rightwards and is rotatable upwards and downwards. The first vane member is rotated upwards and downwards by the vane driving device when the knob is rotated upwards and downwards. The second vane member is rotated leftwards and rightwards by the vane driving device when the knob is moved leftwards and rightwards. The vane driving device transmits the rotation of the knob to the first vane member, and transmits the movement of the knob to the second vane member. The damper opens or closes the passage by rotation.
