K/EKHAEFER BY div/Sf Star/(e 4f amvevs l2 ix-(f ir f I I 1 3,417,522 SKYLIGHT FRAME CONSTRUCTION Elmer C. Kiekhaefer, Winter Haven, Fla, assignor to Brunswick Corporation, Chicago, 111., a corporation of Delaware Filed Jan. 12, 1967, Ser. No. 608,929 2 Claims. (Cl. 52-97) ABSTRACT OF THE DISCLOSURE A frame for securing a skylight upon a curb of spaced vertical walls having foamed insulation therebetween and in which the frame is made up of two flanged members with an outward flange from the inner wall of the curb secured between the flanged members of the frame thereby providing a more rigid support for the skylight.
This invention relates to a skylight frame construction.
In the construction of dome skylights in which the dome is supported on a curb in a roof the problem arises in providing a removable frame for securing the dome in place.
The present invention relates to and generally constitutes an improvement upon the frame construction shown in the copending application Ser. No. 608,927 filed on even date herewith by the present inventor.
The frame of the present invention secures the inner and outer walls of the curb together and provides a stronger and more rigid securing of the skylight to the curb.
The accompanying drawing illustrates an embodiment presently contemplated as the best mode of carrying out the invention.
In the drawing:
FIGURE 1 is a perspective view of a skylight with a portion broken away and sectioned to show the frame; and
FIG. 2 is a more detail enlarged transverse vertical section showing the frame and its manner of securing the skylight upon the curb.
The dome 1 of the skylight is supported on a curb 2 in the roof 3 and is secured in place by the frame 4.
The skylight dome 1 may be of any type and configuration, that illustrated being generally rectangular and having a peripheral flange 5 supported by suitable gasket means upon the curb 2.
The curb 2 is generally of the construction described and claimed in applicants copending application identified above.
More specifically the curb 2 comprises an inner shell 6 having an upper flat horizontal flange 7 extending outwardly and constituting the top of the curb which supports the dome 1, and an outer shell 8 spaced from shell 6 and having an upper flange 9 extending inwardly beneath flange 7 and somewhat short of shell 6.
The flanges 7 and 9 are spaced vertically and suitable foamed plastic is provided therebetween and between vertical shells 6 and 8 to rigidify the curb structure and heat insulate the shells 6 and 8 from one another.
In the construction of the invention the flange 7 extends outwardly beyond the top of shell 8 and is supported 3,417,522 Patented Dec. 24, 1968 by a lower frame member 10 having a vertical wall portion 11 secured as by screws 12 to shell 8, and an upper outwardly extending flange portion 13 directly beneath and supporting the outer edge of flange 7. The lower edge portion of frame member 10 is flared outwardly at an angle to provide a rain deflector 14 for curb 2 and lend additional strength and rigidity thereto.
An upper frame member 15 is provided to clamp the skylight in place. For this purpose the upper frame member 15 comprises a vertical wall portion 16 generally in vertical alignment with the wall portion 11 of member 10, a lower outward flange 17 resting on flange 7 and generally overlapping flange 13 of member 10, and an inward upper flange 18 overlying the flange portion 5 of dome 1 to clamp the latter down upon the flange 7.
The upper frame member 15 is secured in place by vertical screws 20 which pass through flange 7 and into flange 13 of member 10 thereby securing both members 10 and 15 and shells 6 and 8 into a fixed rigid structure.
The skylight dome 1 may be sealed in any suitable manner as illustrated herein or in copending applications Ser. No. 608,790, No. 608,926, No. 608,927 and No. 608,928 filed on even date herewith.
Various modes of carrying out the invention are contemplated as being within the scope of the following claims particularly pointing out and distinctly claiming the subject matter which is regarded as the invention.
I claim:
1. In a skylight construction in which a skylight is mounted upon a curb having inner and outer shells constituting the inner and outer walls confining a solid curb with the inner shell flanged outwardly horizontally to constitute the upper edge of the curb, a frame member comprising a vertical wall portion secured to the outer shell and having its upper edge flanged outwardly beneath the outer edge portion of said inner shell flange to support the same, and a second frame member comprising a vertical wall portion in vertical alignment with said wall portion of said first frame member and having an outward horizontal flange supported by said inner shell flange above said outer flange of said first frame member and having an inward flange portion overlying the edge of the skylight, and means securing said outward flanges of said frame members together through said inner shell flange.
2. The construction of claim 1 in which the lower edge of said vertical wall portion of said first frame member flares downwardly and outwardly at an acute angle to the curb to provide a rain deflector therefor.
