摘要

A heating or air conditioning apparatus for a motor vehicle includes a casing which is mounted on the bodywork of the vehicle by a mounting means comprising a mounting foot carried by the casing and fitting in a U-shaped support member which is carried by the bodywork of the vehicle. The mounting foot is a hollow profiled element which includes a flat rigid wall defining a reference face and joined to a deformable curved wall of the mounting foot which is concave towards the flat wall, both walls being engaged against respective opposed faces of the support member. The mounting foot is integral with a shoe portion which is attached to the casing by slide elements of the former gripping two rails of the casing.
