PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To increase the flow velocity in the end part in a turning shaft direction of a wind direction plate without lowering a wind direction adjusting function and the flow rate of a blowoff air. SOLUTION: Auxiliary wind direction plates 33 are disposed in the wind receiving surface side of a main wind direction plate 30 retained in a set attitude and the end part in the direction of the turning shaft 31 of the main wind direction plate, and the auxiliary wind direction plate 33 is retained in such an attitude as correcting the air flow flowing toward the end part in the direction of the turning shaft 31 of the main wind direction plate in the set direction so as to increase the flow velocity in the end part. This constitution can avoid an indoor air involved in the air flow blowing from a blowoff port 20 from contacting on the rear surface of the main wind direction plate 30 so as to suppress dew condensation on the main wind direction plate 30. The wind direction of the outlet air can be adjusted by the main wind direction plate 30 so as to prevent the instantaneous suction of the blowoff air and to suppress the lowering of the heating and cooling capacities of the air conditioner.
