Abstract A vehicle window ventilating device adapted for present day style windows comprises a slotted flange extension for the window opening of a vehicle. In one form, the slotted flange extension comprises a simple extension of the conventional flange presently provided around vehicle window apertures, and against which the window seats, for controlling the engress and egress of air and water through the window opening, and in another embodiment, the slotted flange extension comprises an accessory element having at least two angularly related sections. In the latter case, one section of the slotted flange extension element is attached to the vehicle window opening along both the rearwardly inclined front portion and the upper portion thereof, and the second section of the flanged extension element extends into the window opening aperture to reduce the apparent size thereof. However, both the second section of the flanged extension element and the simple extension of the conventional window flange each include a slotted part which slotted part is located along the inclined front portion of said window opening, thereby providing a ventilating slot along the inclined front portion of said window opening when the window member is partially lowered within the window opening.
In a ventilating apparatus for a vehicle, the combination of a window opening formed in the side wall and a part of the roof area of said vehicle said window opening having a generally horizontally disposed top portion and a rearwardly inclined front portion, a ventless window member of substantially the same shape and size as said window opening, and means for selectively changing the vertical position of said window member within said window opening, the improvement comprising a flange extension for said window opening and located on the inside of said window opening for sealing the window member within said window opening, said flange extension having a primary width along the top portion and the upper part of the rearwardly inclined front portion thereof which reduces the apparent size of said window opening and a secondary width of a smaller dimension than said primary width along the Lower part of the rearwardly inclined front portion there, which secondary width provides a ventilating slot at the lower front edge of said window opening when the window is partially lowered within said window opening while the top portion and the upper part of the rearwardly inclined front portion of said flange extension still overlaps and seals the window within the window opening.
