  • Publication number: 20220185097
    Abstract: A shutter device for a vehicle includes a frame, a plurality of blades and a cushion member. The frame is placed between two heat exchangers. The blades are configured to open and close an inner space of the frame through rotation of the blades. The cushion member is configured to project from the frame toward an adjacent one of the one or more heat exchangers which is placed adjacent to the frame. A direction, in which the cushion member projects from the frame, is defined as a predetermined direction. The cushion member has an elastic property that a repulsive force of the cushion member exponentially changes in response to a change in an amount of shrinkage deformation of the cushion member in the predetermined direction.
