Abstract
A door provided to a lavatory unit allowing the access of users is equipped with a vent louver mounted to an opening perforated to the lower portion of a door body 110 via a frame 115 of the door. The vent louver 130 comprises a ventilation 131 having plural air holes, a mounting portion 133 provided to the upper side of the ventilation 131 and equipped to the door body 110 with a fastener 140, and a mounting portion 135 for fixing the lower portion of the ventilation 131 to the door body via the door frame 115. The lower mounting portion 135 of the vent louver 130 comprises a connector 135F connected to the outer wall of the frame 115, and an elastic connector 135S comprising a leaf spring 1350 inserted to the frame 115 and flexibly applied to the inner wall of the frame. When the fastener of the upper mounting portion 130 is taken off and the vent louver is at an opened condition, it is able to rotate in direction O perpendicular to the door surface centering on elastic connector of the lower mounting portion, so that it could be dismounted from the door body 110.
