Abstract
A mix door D, which is arranged in a limited space defined between an upstream air passage in which an evaporator is installed and a downstream air passage in which a heater core is installed, is of a sliding type. By guiding a door proper by using a cam groove, a seal member bonded to the door proper is pressed against a contacting member only when the door proper assumes its close position. Smoothed operation of the door proper is achieved with a compact construction of a unit, and sealing and temperature controlling performance is increased.
