  • Patent number: 6953080
    Abstract: A first pipe 231 and a second pipe 232 are connected using connectors 233 and 234 so that at least one of the connectors 233 and 234 is located in a through-hole 133. In this way, since the through-hole 133 is filled in by at least one of the connectors 233 and 234, the gap between the connectors 233 and 234 and the edge of the through-hole 133 can be considerably reduced. It is, therefore, possible to prevent hot air from moving to the front of a panel 100 through the gap between connectors 233 and 234 and the edge of the through-hole 133.

  • Publication number: 20030051858
    Abstract: A first pipe 231 and a second pipe 232 are connected so that at least one of connectors 233 and 234 is located in a through-hole 133, in a state in which both the connectors 233 and 234 are connected. In this way, since the through-hole 133 is brought to a state of being filled in by the connector 233, the gap between a refrigerant pipe 230 and the edge of the through-hole 133 can be considerably reduced. It is, therefore, possible to prevent hot air from moving to the front side of a vehicle, in front of a panel 100 through the gap between the refrigerant pipe 230 and the edge of the through-hole 133 without the necessity of filling in the gap with a filling means such as rubber (a grommet) and packing.
