Abstract (en)

An indoor unit for an air-conditioning apparatus includes: a protruding piece protruding horizontally from a decorative panel toward an opening of an indoor-unit main body; an engagement member, which is provided on a back surface of a suction panel at a position of being opposed to the protruding piece to be slidable with respect to the protruding piece in a front-and-back direction of the indoor unit, and is configured to be guided by the protruding piece of the decorative panel to be locked to the protruding piece; plate springs, which are provided at both ends of the engagement member which are orthogonal to a sliding direction of the engagement member, and extend in directions opposite to each other to be orthogonal to the sliding direction; and at least two spring support portions, which are formed on the suction panel, and are configured to sandwich both end surfaces of each of the plate springs at different positions, in which, when the engagement member slides in a retreating direction of the engagement member by the protruding piece, the each of the plate springs urges the engagement member toward the protruding piece with the at least two spring support portions as supporting points.
