1. An air-conditioning register comprising:
a shut damper which is tiltably placed in a ventilation passage for air-conditioning air in a retainer;
an operation knob provided at least rotatably at a location away from the shut damper; and
a transmission mechanism which transmits rotation of the operation knob to the shut damper and tilts the shut damper, wherein:
a load generating mechanism is provided in a middle of a force transmission path in the transmission mechanism;
the load generating mechanism includes a pressure receiving portion, a pressing member, and a spring;
the pressure receiving portion has a pressure receiving surface;
the pressing member rotates with respect to the pressure receiving portion as the operation knob rotates;
the spring generates a load between the pressing member and the pressure receiving portion by urging the pressing member toward a side approaching the pressure receiving surface and pressing the pressing member against the pressure receiving surface; and
the pressing member and the pressure receiving portion are each formed of a hard resin material and the pressing member is directly in contact with the pressure receiving surface to generate the load.
