Abstract

A ventilating device for a roof opening of the type having a cover mounted for closing the roof opening, a cable drive arrangement for displacing the cover from a position closing the roof opening to positions for opening the roof opening by sliding movement and for opening the roof opening by tilting movement, and a sunshade panel displaceable mounted for opening and closing a roof frame aperture located below the roof opening. At least a portion of the sunshade panel is automatically displaced to a position partially opening the aperture when the cover is shifted to a tilted-up position via drive cables of the cover cable drive. The sunshade panel is also displaceable to positions opening the aperture independent of the cover position.
