Abstract
The mixing device, for distributing in variable proportions a main air stream (8) flowing through an apparatus for heating and/or air-conditioning the cabin of a motor vehicle between a hot air duct (14) and a cold air duct (18), comprises a perforated panel (40) arranged in the hot duct (14) and a shut-off plate (44) that can move between an open position in which it is spaced away from the perforations (42) in the panel (40) and a shut-off position in which it shuts off the panel, a shutter (50) for adjusting the passage cross section of the cold air duct (18) that can move between an open position and a shut-off position, a control mechanism (54) for controlling, in synchronism, the movement of the shut-off plate (44) and the movement of the shutter (50).
