A heating and air-conditioning apparatus for the cabin of a motor vehicle. The apparatus includes a chassis within which air flows and equipped with an air-blowing mechanism and heating and cooling units for cooling and heating the air and a member for controlling the heating unit. At least one airflow duct communicates with the chassis, and at least one mixing shutter, with a variable degree of openness, controls the air stream towards the duct. The mixing shutter is arranged in the overall direction of the air flow downstream of the heating member and transmits additional air passing through the heating unit when the fresh air passage is wide open, and governs in an intermediate position of closure of the air flowing through the heating unit. The mixing shutter also switching a control member controlling the operation of the heating unit between an off and on position.

The improvement of claim 1 wherein the adjacent panels are in contact in the open position only by means of a hinge assembly affixed to respective back panel sections and are in contact in the closed position only by means of the hinge assembly affixed to back panel sections and by touching contact of the front panel sections, whereby all of the front and back panel sections are thermally insulated from each other. 11. The improvement of claim 1 wherein the region between the front panel section and back panel section is comprised of an insulating material. 12. The improvement of claim 1 wherein the front panel section and back panel section are comprised of formed sheet metal. 13. The improvement of claim 1 wherein the front panel section or back panel section or both panel sections are formed sheet metal. 14. The improvement of claim 1 wherein the front panel section is configured with a decorative patern. 15. The improvement of claim 1 wherein the back panel section is planar. 16. The improvement of claim 1 wherein the adjacent panels are joined by a hinge assembly having an axis of rotation substantially coplainer with the back panel sections and further including a back panel section extension of one said panels overlapping a back panel section extension of the adjacent panel where by upon articulation of said panels from a straight angle to a lesser angle, the extension remain in overlapping configuration to provide finger protection for the back panel sections. 17. The pinch proof garage door of claim 1 wherein the first garage door panel and the second garage door panel are horizontally oriented. 18. The pinch proof garage door of claim 1 further comprising a hinge assembly comprising: an upper leaf coupled to the first door panel, the upper leaf having a substantially cylindrical hole; a lower leaf coupled to the second door panel, the lower leaf having two opposed horizontally-aligned holes, aligned with the substantially cylindrical hole of the upper leaf; and a hinge pin operatively coupling the upper leaf with the lower leaf, the hinge pin extending through the two opposed horizontally-aligned holes of the lower leaf and the substantially cylindrical hole of the upper leaf, whereby the first door panel and the second door panel pivot relative to one another about the hinge pin as the garage door transitions form a closed to an open state. 19. A multiple panel door construction comprising, in combination: a hinge joint; at least first and second adjacent articulated door panels, said panels hinged together by the hinge joint about an axis and including opposed edges at the hinge joint, said panels each including a front panel sheet section and a back panel sheet section with a connecting edge section provided at the edges of each respective panel, the opposed edges being configured to provide an opposed male and female shape in cross section to provide finger protection, said finger protection configuration including a front side panel protection including a lower edge female shape formed in the front panel sheet in opposed to an upper edge male shape formed in the front panel sheet of the adjacent panel, and a back side panel protection including a depending overlapping rib formed in the lower edge of the back panel sheet, said rib overlapping a rearwardly projecting rim formed in the upper edge of the back panel sheet of the adjacent panel, whereby the overlapping rib extends into a gap between the rearwardly projecting rim and the hinge joint; and a thermally insulating, non-conductive member interposed along each edge of the opposed edges and located between the front and back panel sections, said front and back panel sections being thereby separately thermally insulated one from the other. 20. A pinch proof garage door for protecting human fingers from being pinched, the pinch proof garage door comprising, in combination: a first garage door panel having a female portion, the female portion including a female thermal joint member; a second garage door panel having a male portion having a male thermal joint member and an air infiltration seal, the male portion of the second garage door panel cooperating with the female portion of the first garage door panel, the male portion and the female portion shaped so as to prevent the human fingers from being pinched; a hinge assembly hingedly connecting the first garage door panel with the second garage door panel, the garage door panels having an axis of rotation about a hinge pin; an overlapping rib formed on a back section of the first garage door panel; a rearwardly projecting rim formed on a back section of the second garage door panel, whereby the overlapping rib formed extends into gap between the rearwardly projecting rib and the hinge pin when the garage door panels are in closed position. 21. A pinch proof garage door for protecting human fingers from being pinched, the pinch proof garage door comprising: a first horizontal door panel having a horizontal edge, a front face, and a back face; a first female portion located the horizontal edge of the panel, the first female portion shaped so as to include: a female arcuate segment extending up from a front face of the horizontal panel, a first female horizontally disposed straight segment abutting the first female arcuate segment, a first female vertically disposed straight segment perpendicularly abutting the first female horizontally disposed straight segment, a female finger segment extending from the back face of the first horizontal panel, a female planar segment abutting the female finger segment, a second female horizontally disposed straight segment abutting the female planar segment, a second female vertically disposed straight segment perpendicularly abutting the second female horizontally disposed straight segment, a female thermal joint member member coupled to the second female vertically disposed straight segment and contacting the first female vertically disposed straight segment, the female thermal joint member member extending horizontally along the length of the horizontal panel thereby providing a thermal seal between the first female vertically disposed straight segment and the second vertically disposed vertical segment; and a second horizontal door panel with a horizontal edge, a front face and a back face, the second horizontal panel opposed to the horizontal edge of the first panel; a first male portion located on the second horizontal panel edge, the first male portion shaped so as to include: a male arcuate segment extending from the front face of the horizontal panel, an air seal member receiving section in the male arcuate section, the air seal member receiving section containing an air infiltration seal extending horizontally along the length of the horizontal panel, a first male vertically disposed segment abutting the male arcuate segment, a male transition segment abutting the first male vertically disposed segment, a second male vertically disposed segment abutting the male transition segment, a first male planar section extending up from a rear face of the second horizontal panel, a third male vertically disposed segment abutting and extending up from the first male planar segment, a horizontally disposed radial run perpendicularly abutting the third male vertically disposed segment, wherein the horizontally disposed radial run extends back toward the rear face of the of the second horizontal panel, and a vertically disposed radial run abutting the horizontally disposed radial run, a male thermal joint member member coupled to the second male vertically disposed straight segment and contacting the vertically disposed radial run, the male thermal joint member member extending horizontally along the length of the second horizontal panel, thereby providing a thermal seal between the second male vertically disposed segment and the vert
