In an air conditioning device using a flexible film member as a blow mode switching door and by design leaking an amount of air from an air outlet in a blow mode, the amount of leaking air does not significantly change even though the position of the film member shifts from an optimal position. The width of a first opening in the device casing in the vertical direction (perpendicular to the direction of movement of the film member when shifting between blow modes) is shorter than a width of a second opening in the casing in the vertical direction. The length of a first air outlet facing the first opening portion in the direction of film member movement is greater than a predetermined length. Therefore, even if the position of the film in a foot mode is shifted, the area of the first opening is not significantly changed.

An air conditioning apparatus for a 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; and a flexible film member having first and second opening portions for passing said air and being movably installed in said air conditioning case so that said first and second opening portions respectively face said first and second air outlets; wherein a width of said first air outlet in a vertical direction perpendicular to a moving direction of said film member in said case is shorter than a width of said second air outlet in said vertical direction; an entire length of said first opening portion in said moving direction is shorter than a length of said first air outlet; and in a foot mode of said air conditioning apparatus, in which said first opening portion opens to said first air outlet and said second opening portion opens to said second air outlet so that most of said air in said air conditioning case is blown off from said second air outlet and the rest of said air is blown off from said first air outlet, an opening area in which said first opening portion opens to said first air outlet is smaller than an opening area in which said second opening portion opens to said second air outlet, and said first opening portion covers said first air outlet completely.
