A temperature control apparatus, for radiating heat from a side door to a vehicle interior, includes components which are provided inside each of the vehicle body and side door, respectively. A heat source is disposed within a peripheral edge part of an opening in a vehicle body. A heat pipe is provided in the side door. When the door opening is closed by the side door, the heat source and heat pipe come into contact, and are thermally connected by a heat transmission mechanism.

1. A temperature control apparatus for a vehicle having a vehicle body with an opening formed therein, said temperature control apparatus comprising: an opening/closing door member capable of opening and closing actions relative to the opening formed in the vehicle body;a heat source provided in the vehicle body;a heat pipe disposed within the opening/closing door member for transmitting heat from the heat source; anda heat transmission mechanism for thermally connecting the heat pipe and the heat source when the opening is closed by the opening/closing door member, the heat transmission mechanism comprising: a hollow case operatively attached to the door member;a push bar formed of thermally conductive material and slidably disposed within the case; anda spring formed of thermally conductive material and disposed within the case, the spring extending between the push bar and an end portion of the heat pipe. 2. The temperature control apparatus of claim 1, wherein an accommodating part is provided proximate to a peripheral edge part of the opening, the heat source is disposed in the accommodating part, and the accommodating part has a connecting opening facing the heat transmission mechanism. 3. The temperature control apparatus of claim 1, wherein the opening/closing door member comprises a lining, the heat pipe is mounted on the lining using a mounting piece, and the lining having the heat pipe is mounted on the opening/closing door member. 4. The temperature control apparatus of claim 3, wherein a shutter is provided in the lining to permit air flow therethough, and the lining has a fan for guiding heat from the heat pipe toward the shutter provided in the lining. 5. The temperature control apparatus of claim 1, wherein the push bar is urged by a spring force of the spring in a direction toward the heat source so as to be connected with the heat source. 6. The temperature control apparatus of claim 4, wherein the shutter is disposed proximate a window provided in the opening/closing door member. 7. The temperature control apparatus of claim 4, wherein the shutter has a shielding blade capable of opening and closing actions. 8. The temperature control apparatus of claim 1, wherein the heat transmission mechanism comprises hinges for connecting the opening/closing door member and the vehicle body so that the hinges on the vehicle body are capable of transmitting heat from the heat source and the hinges on the opening/closing door member are capable of transmitting the heat to the heat pipe. 9. The temperature control apparatus of claim 1, wherein the heat transmission mechanism comprises a latch formed of a heat-transmitting material and provided to one of the opening/closing door member and the vehicle body, and a striker formed of a heat-transmitting material and provided to the other one of the opening/closing door member and the vehicle body for engaging with the latch, so that the heat source and heat pipe are capable of transmitting heat upon engagement of the latch and striker. 10. The temperature control apparatus of claim 1, wherein the heat source is designed to heat or cool the heat pipe. 11. A temperature control apparatus for a vehicle, comprising: a door member capable of opening and closing actions relative to an opening formed in a body of the vehicle;a heat source provided in the vehicle body;a heat pipe disposed within the door member for transmitting heat from the heat source; anda heat transmission mechanism for thermally connecting the heat pipe and the heat source when the opening is closed by the door member, the heat transmission mechanism comprising: a hollow case operatively attached to the door member;a push bar formed of thermally conductive material and slidably disposed within the case, the push bar having a distal end part extending outwardly through an opening formed in a front edge portion of the door member and configured to contact the heat source when the door member is closed; anda spring formed of thermally conductive material and disposed within the case, the spring extending between the push bar and an end portion of the heat pipe, wherein the spring is compressed by the push bar when the door member is closed.
