Abstract
The invention relates to a device (12) for ventilating the interior of a motor vehicle, preferably a rooflight device, for a motor vehicle. The device (12) has a frame (16) with a ventilation opening (44), a first rotating element (28) for rolling up and rolling down a first roller blind (30), and a second rotating element (32) for rolling up and rolling down a second roller blind (34). The first rotating element (28) and the second rotating element (32) lie at least partially overlappingly on the same side in relation to the ventilation opening (44) and in relation to a vertical axis. The device (12) can thus preferably be designed with a particularly shallow depth in order not to restrict the headroom.
