The circular frame structure and shutter assemblage is substantially flush with the plane of the ceiling and a housing and ventilating fan is disposed in an attic or space above the opening in the ceiling. The ventilating fan above the shutters is rotated in a direction to draw air from the room upwardly into the attic space for dissipation through conventional air vents located in the roof or wall region of an attic space. The circular support frame structure and the shutters are molded of resinous plastic material and the shutters are pivoted by pivot pins integral with the shutters which are pivotally mounted in the circular portion of the frame structure and in a central support means or region of the frame structure.
