Abstract: A leakage restriction device for a refrigeration cycle of a vehicle air conditioner in which refrigerant flows has first and second rubber gaskets. The first and second gaskets are disposed between a pipe and a pipe joint of the refrigeration cycle for restricting refrigerant from leaking into atmospheric air. The first gasket is disposed on an atmospheric-air side and the second gasket is disposed on a refrigerant side between the pipe and the pipe joint.
