Air-conditioning apparatus

An air-conditioning apparatus comprising:

• a body;
• a decorative panel attached to a lower surface of the body defining a lower surface of the air-conditioning apparatus;
• an air-inlet grille that is attached to an air inlet of the decorative panel and configured to rotate around an axis of rotation to open and close the air inlet;
• and
• a shaft disposed on the decorative panel, the shaft being movable along the axis of rotation within a movable range,
• wherein the shaft includes
• a shaft body,
• a pivot protruding in a direction of the axis of rotation from one end face of the shaft body in a moving direction of the shaft, and
• a rib extending parallel to the pivot,
• wherein the air-inlet grille has a mating hole into which the pivot is inserted to support rotation of the air-inlet grille,
• wherein the pivot is fitted in the mating hole at a first limit of the movable range of the shaft,
• wherein the rib engages the decorative panel while the pivot is fitted in the mating hole,
• wherein the shaft body includes a shaft protrusion, the shaft protrusion being formed on a face of the shaft body that extends in the moving direction,
• wherein the decorative panel includes a panel protrusion located on a path along which the shaft protrusion moves, and
• wherein the panel protrusion is disposed between a position of the shaft protrusion at the first limit of the movable range of the shaft and a position of the shaft protrusion at a second limit of the movable range of the shaft.
