摘要：In a vehicle, a self-retracting and extensible air duct in combination with an air distribution system and a nozzle for allowing the use of a treated air-stream at remote locations with a vehicle's interior. Heated air can be used to dry objects such as boots and clothing, or an occupant's hair. Cooled air can be directed directly on an object or in a specific area such as where the sun may be shining in. A connection is made to a vehicle's existing air distribution system with an air duct connecting the system with a receptacle in either the dashboard or the center console. Inside the receptacle is an air conduit storage area and a receiving area where the air conduit and nozzle are stored when not in use. The air conduit is spring loaded in that it will expand from the storage area when the nozzle is released from its receiving area to a natural length and then can be stretched to a greater length for use. The conduit will contract to its natural length to aid in returning it to its stored condition.
