DEFINITION

Classification: 454/129

Sunroof:

(under subclass 128) Subject matter wherein the open window is in a top surface bounding the ventilated space.

SEE OR SEARCH THIS CLASS, SUBCLASS:

94, for a railcar, bus, or trailer roof vent closure.

SEE OR SEARCH CLASS

296, Land Vehicles: Bodies and Tops,

180.1+, for fins or air deflectors associated with the roof of a land vehicle to affect the movement of a slip stream of air over the vehicle and subclasses 210+ for a roof for a vehicle body having an opening in said roof and a closure for said opening in said roof which, when in the open position, permits free communication of light or air between the interior of the body and the atmosphere, but having no particular structure, either on the closure or in or about the opening, to cause air to flow into or out of the body.

However, see subclass 217, in particular, for roof structure having air deflectors actively associated with the closure, so that upon movement of the closure toward an open position, the deflector is caused to move from a retracted position to a position in which it is operative to act upon the vehicle's slipstream. If particular structure is present on the closure or in or about the opening to cause air to flow into or out of the ventilated space, the subject matter is proper for Class 454.
