In skylights wherein the wing may be selectively adjusted into a pivoting and swivel position, the wing is fixed with respect to the auxiliary frame in the pivoted opened position. If this fixation is removed due to a faulty operation, the upper, heavier half of the wing moves in the direction of the case so that there is a danger of damage. To make the negative effects of the faulty operation ineffective, flap 18 provided with latch 19 and having a pivoting axis displaced in relation to axial pin 7 in the direction of swivel joint 5 is pivotally mounted on auxiliary frame 2. Latch 19 arranged at a slight distance from axial pin 7 in the closed position subtends axial pin 7 when wing 3 is pivoted open. In case of a faulty operation, the weight of wing 3 causes axial pin 7 to be pressed against latch 19 of flap 18. This automatically secures a pivotally opened skylight against the results of a faulty operation, which is automatically undone, FIG. 4, when the wing is brought into the closed position. |
