Air conditioning apparatus with film member

An air conditioning apparatus for vehicle, said apparatus comprising:

• an air conditioning case for leading air to a passenger compartment of a vehicle;
• a first air outlet in a downstream side of said case, said first air outlet being for communicating with a side face blow outlet for blowing air toward an upper half body of a passenger who is adjacent to a side glass in said passenger compartment;
• a second air outlet in a downstream side of said case, said second air outlet being for communicating with a foot blow outlet for blowing air toward feet of said passenger;
• a third air outlet in a downstream side of said case, said third air outlet being for communicating with a center face blow outlet for blowing said air toward said upper half body of said passenger almost in said center of automotive width direction of said compartment;
• a fourth air outlet in a downstream side of said case, said fourth air outlet being for communicating with a defroster blow outlet for blowing said air toward an inside surface of a windshield of said vehicle;
• and
• a flexible film member having first, second and third opening portions for passing air, said flexible film member being movably installed in said air conditioning case to face said first, second, third and fourth air outlets;
• wherein said second air outlet adjoins said first air outlet in a moving direction of said film member, said third air outlet adjoins said first air outlet in a vertical direction perpendicular to said moving direction, and said fourth air outlet adjoins said first air outlet on a side of said case opposite said second air outlet in said moving direction;
• a width of said fourth air outlet in said vertical direction is smaller than a total width of said first and third air outlets in said vertical direction;
• in a face mode of said air conditioning apparatus, said first opening portion is outside of said fourth air outlet in said moving direction, said second opening portion opens only to said first and third air outlets;
• in a foot mode of said air conditioning apparatus, said first opening portion opens to said first air outlet and said second opening portion opens only to said second air outlet;
• in a defroster mode of said air conditioning apparatus, said third opening portion opens to said fourth air outlet, said first opening portion opens to said first air outlet and said third opening portion opens to said fourth air outlet;
• and
• said fourth air outlet does not overlap with a path of said first opening portion when said film member moves between its position in said face mode and its position in said foot mede.
