Abstract: A shutter apparatus includes a shutter base plate having an aperture, a blade group configured to open and close the aperture, a blade driving member configured to drive the blade group, a charge lever configured to rotate the blade driving member, a first roller which is attached to a first axis portion extending from the blade driving member and abuts against the charge lever, a cam member configured to rotate the charge lever, and a second roller which is attached to a second axis portion extending from the charge lever and is configured to trace a cam portion formed on the cam member. The cam member has a flange protruding from the cam portion to periphery of the cam member. And the cam member is arranged so that the second roller is overlapped with the flange in an extending direction of the second axis portion.

Abstract: Noise occurring in an upright air-conditioning unit is greatly reduced. An upright air-conditioning unit 1 is disposed under a steering member support part 23, a vent opening 15 and a vent outlet port 20 are made to communicate with each other via a vent duct 25, a defrost opening 16 and a defrost outlet port 21 are made to communicate with each other via a defrost duct 26. The vent opening 15 assumes a position further frontward than the steering member support part 23 along the frontward/rearward direction relative to the vehicle body whereas the defrost opening 16 assumes a position further rearward than the steering member support part 23 along the frontward/rearward direction relative to the vehicle body.

Abstract: An object of the present invention is to prevent vibration of a sliding door within a guide groove through a fundamental review of the structures adopted in sliding door devices in the related art having a sliding door made to move along a direction intersecting an air flow path to control the flow rate or direction of air within the air flow path. The present invention is characterized in that a tension-applying means is disposed at a sliding unit of a sliding door, which is inserted at a guide groove formed on the inside of an air-conditioner case to apply tension between the sliding unit and the guide groove.

Abstract: An intercooler has a case through which supercharging air passes, and a heat exchanger 4 mounted inside the case which allows heat exchange between the supercharging air and a cooling fluid. A frame body 15 is provided at the circumferential edges of air passage portions of the heat exchanger 4 on a supercharging air intake side and a supercharging air outlet side to reduce the gap between the heat exchanger and the inner wall of the case. The heat exchanger 4 has a pair of tanks 43 and 44, tubes communicating between the tanks, and a plurality of fins 46 set along the tubes, and assumes a structure that allows the supercharging air to pass through the heat exchanger a plurality of times by sequentially passing through blocks formed by dividing a heat exchanging unit 4A into a plurality of blocks with partitioning plates 15d.

Abstract: In order to suppress any backfire with a high degree of reliability and reduce the required mounting space and the weight of an intercooler by achieving a flame arrester function in the intercooler mounted to cool supercharging air without having to provide a separate arrester device, the intercooler having a case through which the supercharging air passes through and a heat exchanger 4 that is mounted inside the case and engages in heat exchange between the supercharging air and a cooling fluid includes a frame body 15 provided at the circumferential edges of air passage portions of the heat exchanger 4 on a supercharging air intake side and a supercharging air outlet side to reduce the gap between the heat exchanger and the inner wall of the case.
