Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION

[0001]

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention is installed on the roof of a building, the roof or eaves of a building for a store, the entrance of a building for a high-rise house, the top of a shelter of a bus stop or a communication passage, and the like. Or a polygonal pyramid-shaped top light used as a skylight.

[0002]

2. Description of the Related Art As is well known, top lights used in buildings, roofs, eaves, etc. of buildings have various structures. For example, there are a single flow or double flow gable shape, a polygonal pyramid shape, and the like, and each has a unique structure in which a unique member is assembled. The polygonal pyramid-shaped top light extends the tree, which is a ridgeline, from each corner of the lower frame of the polygon diagonally upward toward the center of the lower frame, and integrally connects the upper ends of the trees, which are ridgelines. It is a joined structure. Therefore, in a conventional polygonal pyramid-shaped top light, the upper end of a tree serving as a ridge is joined at a construction site.

[0003]

However, the joining process of the upper edge of the tree which is a ridgeline is extremely troublesome, and if it is not joined with high precision, wind and rain will flow in. When a panel such as glass is fitted or a ventilation door or the like is attached, a gap is generated. In addition, the work of cutting and joining the top edges of each ridgeline tree to the appropriate shape at the part where the top edges of multiple ridgeline trees gather at the construction and construction site is time consuming because the work significantly increases. Not only does construction and construction time take longer, but it also increases costs. Therefore, conventionally, in a polygonal pyramid-shaped top light, there has been a demand for a means capable of joining the upper ends of a plurality of ridges of a tree very easily and in a standardized manner.

[0004]

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been made in view of the above-mentioned drawbacks, and has been proposed in order to meet the demands of the related art. In a polygonal pyramid-shaped toplight formed by extending a rafter and integrally connecting the upper ends of each ridgeline tree, an outer cap material and an inner cap material having a shape corresponding to the pyramid-shaped top are provided on the top of the toplight. And a fixing bracket is interposed between the two cap members, and the upper end of each ridgeline tree is fixed to the fixing bracket.

According to the present invention, a second fixing member is provided below each of the fixing members, and a neutral upper end portion is fixed to the second fixing member.
