In a roof arrangement for an elevator car in an elevator, the elevator car including an untreated roof, walls and a ceiling hinged to the untreated roof, the ceiling is hinged to the untreated roof of the elevator car with a hinge mechanism including an articulation mechanism that is arranged to pull the first end of the ceiling away from the wall of the elevator car at the same time as the second end of the ceiling is turned downwards.

A panel device, particularly a roof light for a recreational vehicle, comprises an at least substantially polygonal frame which surrounds an opening. A window is connected to the frame for pivoting about a pivot axis and comprises a panel which extends over the opening. Provided between the frame and the window is a stay device which is manipulable between a first position, in which the window is forced into a flat state and closes the opening, and at least one second position in which the window is raised by the stay device and leaves the opening at least partially clear. The stay device comprises a stay which extends movably from an elongate guide at a first outer end and is connected pivotally to the window at an opposite, second outer end. The stay is adjustable in the guide and is coupled to an actuator via a flexible transmission. The transmission comprises at least one tension-resistant pull member which is coupled to the stay and which is movable in an axially at least substantially rigid yet flexible sleeve, a first outer end of which is fixed to or close to the stay and a second outer end of which is attached to or close to the actuator.
