In a combined ventilator and window for installation in the roof of a motor coach, a panel 18 is mounted on angularly movable arms 28 so that the panel 18 can be moved between a closed position, opened positions in which either side of the panel 18 or either end of the panel 18 is opened, and an open position in which the panel 18 is parallel to and spaced from its closed position. The arms 28 are pivotally mounted on the frame 10 at 38 and have detent means 36, 40 to hold them in their alternative positions. The other ends of the arms 28 are pivotally connected to brackets 46, 74 depending from the panel, the latter pivotal connections being adapted to permit relative movement between the arms 28 and the panel 18 additional to movement about the respective axes of pivotal coupling.
A ventilator for a vehicle comprising a frame adapted to bound an opening in a vehicle roof, a panel, two pairs of support arms, each pair supporting the panel on the frame at a respective one of two opposite ends of the frame, each support arm being pivotally connected at one end to the frame and at the other end to the panel and being provided with spring-loaded detent means at one or other of said ends for holding said arm in any one of a plurality of angularly-spaced positions, the pivotal connection at the end opposite to the detent means of each of said arms comprising a pin which projects through superimposed openings in the arm and a member to which said arm is connected, a boss in which the pin is axially movable and a spring which engages between the pin and the boss so as to clamp the member and the arm together between a formation on the pin and the adjacent end of the boss.
