- the peripheral wall 11 is provided with a bead 24 which extends parallel to the seals 17 and 23 and which also projects from this wall, so as to significantly reduce the flow of air from the VH output to DG defrost output when the flap 7 occupies an intermediate position as in Figure 5, in which the DG output is closed is the VH and VB outputs are both partially open.
- the bead 24 is vis-à-vis the section of the circular flank 3 which separates the output VH of the output DG so that it strongly limits the risk of air coming from the entrance EA air and for the VH output goes into the DG output.
- This bead 24 has a significantly lower efficiency than a seal, but it nevertheless opposes a significant resistance to the passage of air without generating additional friction because it is not resting against the circular flank 3.
- the flap 7 occupies a position in which it closes the outputs VH and DG and opens the low air distribution outlet VB.
- the seal 17 bears on the portion of the cylindrical flank 3 which separates the outlet VB from the outlet VH
- the gasket 23 bears against the portion of this cylindrical flank which separates the air inlet EA from the DG output.
- the flap 7 occupies a position in which only the output DG is open, and the seals 17 and 22 then bear against corresponding portions of the circular flank, which has the effect of closing waterproof the VH and VB outputs.
