Abstract
In an inside/outside air switching device, a seal member is provided at a position around a rotation center axial line of a rotary door, for sealing an inside/outside air switching box in an axial direction. The rotary door is disposed to be elastically deformable in such a manner that at least both parts of side wall plates of the rotary door around the rotation center axial line are displaced away from each other by a dynamical pressure of a vehicle travelling, applied to an outer wall plate of the rotary door, in an inside air mode. The seal member press-contacts the inside/outside air switching box when at least both the parts of the side wall plates around the rotation center axial line are displaced away from each other.
