TUBULAR SKYLIGHT ASSEMBLY
A tubular skylight assembly. The tubular skylight assembly may include a light tube pitch adapter that may be adjustable to alter an angle between its ends, a cylindrical light tube secured to the light tube pitch adaptor, a collar for securing to the light tube pitch adapter, a flashing surround preferably having an exterior base and a top cover, and a skylight cover having an outer frame and a glass pane. The collar and light tube pitch adapter may reside at least partially within the exterior base of the flashing surround and the skylight cover may be disposed over the top cover of the flashing surround.
SKYLIGHT WITH WIDE BASE TO ACCOMMODATE VARIOUS SIZES OF CURBS WITH CONVERTIBLE FIXED AND OPERABLE PORTIONS
A skylight includes a transparent member such as glass and a frame holding the transparent member. The frame has a rectilinear horizontal top overlapping a top of the transparent member, a rectilinear horizontal base parallel to the horizontal top and overlapping a bottom of the transparent member, and a rectilinear vertical side connecting the top to the base. The base is wider than the top to accommodate plural differently sized curbs. To provide for an operable assembly, an operable base may first be engaged with the roof and the skylight hinged to the base to open and close.
Skylight and smoke vent gutter uplift channel assembly
A gutter uplift channel assembly is configured to mount skylights, smoke vents, or other roof accessories to a roof having a pair of longitudinally extending roof curbs. A gutter extends between the pair of roof curbs and is secured to the roof curbs to channel water laterally over the roof curbs. The gutter receives longitudinal ends of a pair of roof accessories to be mounted next to each other. An uplift channel or cap of the gutter channel assembly extends over the longitudinal ends or rims of the roof accessories and is secured to the gutter via threaded rods extending up from the gutter through corresponding holes in the uplift channel and nuts placed on the threaded rods.
ADHESIVE-ATTACHED WINDOW GLAZING ASSEMBLY, MULTI-GLAZED WINDOW ASSEMBLY AND METHOD THEREFOR
A window glazing assembly that can convert an existing or already-installed window, or be used to assemble new construction windows as a multi-pane or multi-glazed window unit, is provided herein. In particular, the glazing assembly includes an attachment assembly (e.g., peel-and-stick double-sided adhesive tape) and one or more glazing layers. Some embodiments further include a spacer assembly comprising a plurality of spacer bars that may be individually installed, e.g., one by one, around the perimeter of the window such as, to the window sash, window frame, or glass window pane, itself. The glazing layer(s) can then be secured or adhered to the spacer assembly, for example, around the perimeter thereof. Some embodiments may include additional or intermediate glazing layers, providing additional insulating airspaces and enhanced performance.
Cantilevered objects
A roof curb supported by an upstanding support curb to support various objects including, but not limited to, screens, architectural screens, catwalks, lighting, speakers, security apparatus, cameras, weather indicators, electronic devices, antennae, sound dampening materials, advertising, and security cages. The roof curb includes a top curb portion and two or more spaced, generally horizontal extending support members which then, in turn, support one or more objects such that no portion of the object(s) comes into contact with the underlying roof.
Skylight framing system
A skylight assembly, having framing members that define an interior space and rafters that span the interior space between framing members, for supporting panes of glass, each pane having at least one structural glass panel and a thermal panel. The framing members each have a vertical portion and support assembly extending inwardly, including an upper support surface, a lower support surface, and a vertical step therebetween. A glass setting block made of a rubbery material rests upon the upper support surface, vertical step, and lower support surface. The structural glass panels are fully supported by the upper support surface. The thermal panel is supported by the lower support surface, and is sealed to the upper support surface by a spacer, forming an insulating glass unit therewith. The full support of the structural glass, independent of the support of the thermal panel, allows the skylight to be thermally insulated and walkable.
SKYLIGHT COVER WITH ADVANTAGEOUS TOPOGRAPHY
A skylight cover is provided that includes a light transmitting body including first and second integral lenses. The first and second integral lenses define polygonal perimeters, each polygonal perimeter having a first element and a second element residing therein, the first and second elements disposed adjacent to each other in each instance. The skylight cover may include a plurality of ridges and creases, the individual, respective ridges and creases disposed in advantageous configurations. The cover may likewise include a plurality of surfaces, some optionally parallel and some optionally co-planar.
Rooftop-mountable load support structure with adapter plug(s)
Load support structures for mounting a load atop a raised rib metal panel roof make use of relatively small, inexpensive, and easy-to-make adapter plugs as interfaces between the raised ribs and one or more component pieces or members of the load support structure, such as an upper diverter or a lower closure member. The adapter plug has an inner surface and an outer surface, the inner surface having an inner profile substantially matching or conforming to some or all of the profile of a particular style of rib profile. The outer surface of the adapter plug has a standardized shape, some or all of which is made to conform to an upper diverter, lower closure, and/or other component member of the load support structure.
CURB-MOUNTED SKYLIGHT
A curb-mounted skylight designed for mounting on a framing protruding from the roof and forming part of its construction. The skylight has a glazing unit (1) and a support frame (2), where the distance (H2) from the skylight support surface to the outermost edge of the protective wall (22) of the section profile of the support frame (2) is not longer than the distance (H1) from the skylight support surface to the outside surface of the glazing unit (1). There is an adhesive sealing joint (5) between the glazing unit (1) and the protective wall (2).
FIXTURE FOR VENTING A ROOF
It is described herein a venting apparatus for an opening in a roof. The venting apparatus for an opening in a roof may comprise a structural frame, an adapter, a mount, a hinge, and a latch. The adapter may comprise a frame adapter section, a lip extending inwardly from a portion of the frame adapter section inner surface, and a protrusion extending upwardly from the lip. The frame adapter section may be configured to fit around an outer surface of the structural frame while the mount may be configured to fit around an outer surface of the protrusion. The latch may be configured to receive a signal from a device when the device detects the presence of smoke within the building to cause the latch to change from a latch closed position to a latch opened position.
