摘要

A slot ventilator (1) comprises an elongate facing strip (7) which is movable on parallel-motion links (12) between a closed position in which it seals a slot (4) in a backing member (3), and a forward, open position. The parallel-motion links (12) are pivotally secured at one end to a rearwardly-extending rib (8) at the rear of the facing strip (7), and at the other end to a pair of parallel rearwardly-extending mounting flanges (5) behind the backing member (3). When the facing strip (7) is in the closed position, the pivotal connection (13) between the link (12) and the flanges (5) is accommodated within a cutout portion (18) of the rib (8), so enabling the overall depth of the ventilator to be reduced.
