Abstract

A venting device for a vehicle has a frame which is made from a hard plastic material and can be fixed in place in an opening of the vehicle. The frame has recesses and a non-return flap member made from a flexible material. The non-return flap member extends substantially over the entire frame and, in the region of the recesses, has cutouts which are configured in one piece with the non-return flap member. In a closed position, the cutouts are in surface contact with support surfaces surrounding the recesses and, in an open position, can be moved away from the support surfaces.
