A wind directional vent and skylight combination including: (a) a throat which may be in the form of a hood (60) rotatably mounted to a structure such as a building and in communication with a cavity to be exhausted such as a room of the building; (b) wind directional means associated with the hood (60), the wind directional means optionally being inherent in the shape and configuration of the hood (60), the wind directional means causing the hood (60) to rotate in response to changes in wind direction, wherein the hood (60) is made from material adapted to permit the passage of light therethrough.

The invention concerns a device that creates a semishaded surface whose level of exposure to sunlight can be determined and on which the sunlight can be distributed uniformly for a given period. It consists of a fixed framework (1) supporting a mobile reciprocating frame (2). A skylight (A) with slats is set into the mobile frame (2). The mobile frame (2) supports one of several frames (3) into which are set skylights (b) with slats. The adjustable deviation between the frames (2 and 3) determines the level of exposure to sunlight. This device is especially intended for persons who wish to be exposed to a reasonable level of sunlight. Its field of application is particularly, though not exclusively, in the tourism, leisure and accommodation industries.

A skylight system for use in the ceiling of a room in a structure having a roof. The skylight system includes a frame having a skylight opening and a ventilator opening, the frame being adapted for mounting to said ceiling; a light conduit having a proximal end attached to the skylight opening of the frame, and a distal end for mounting to said roof for guiding natural light from the roof to the skylight opening for naturally lighting the room; and a venting duct having a proximal end attached to the ventilator opening of the frame and a distal end for mounting to said roof for ventilating the room. The skylight system can also include a lighting fixture attached to a lighting opening in the frame for artificially lighting the room.

Phosphorescent materials are incorporated into the composition and construction of various components of a skylight. The resulting skylight absorbs light through these relevant components in the presence of external light while emitting phosphorescence, or delayed luminescence, in the absence of external light. The light-storage effects of the phosphorescent components offer the added advantage of reducing sensitivity of internal illumination intensity to abrupt variations in external light intensity. Using commercially-available high-performance phosphorescent materials, such skylight components are manufactured safely and cost-effectively. The resulting skylights offer simple passive interior illumination for hours after daylight ceases.

A sheet of light transmitting polycarbonate is vacuum-formed to produce a lower skylight glazing or pane, a surrounding curb portion and a surrounding flange or flashing portion projecting outwardly from the curb portion. The curb portion has a peripheral rim surface and a lower step surface, and an upper pane of glass or plastic has a peripheral portion sealed to the rim surface. Additional panes of plastic sheets may be sealed to the peripheral portion of the upper pane and to the step surface to provide increased thermal insulation. Parallel ribs are formed in the flashing portion, and strips of rigid plastic insulation foam and wood trim are bonded by adhesive to each other and to the inner surfaces of the curb portion.

A skylight and method of constructing a skylight wherein the method comprises the steps of forming an opening in the roof and ceiling respectively of a housing having a cavity therebetween. A tubular skylight is then inserted into the opening. The tubular skylight has a transparent surface protruding throughout the ceiling and roof respectively to pass light therethrough. A reflector is located within the domed transparent surface protruding through the roof, and is angled such that it reflects light that would not have passed into the tubular skylight into same.
摘要:
A new exterior skylight solar screen cover for engaging a skylight to prevent excessive heat build-up in a space below a skylight which has a frame, the solar screen comprising a frame member dimensioned for coupling with the exterior of the skylight. A plurality of louvers laterally extend within the frame member and a solar screen panel is dimensioned for being received within the frame member. The solar screen panel comprises a peripheral frame that is positioned on an inwardly extending lip of the upper frame section of the solar screen cover.

A rectangular curb unit is installed on a sloping standing seam metal roof at an angle to the dip direction, so that water does not accumulate on the upslope side of the curb unit. The curb unit has four side walls, and inserts shaped to conform to the seam geometry are welded to the walls at the seam locations, typically at opposite corners.

For sealingly joining an underroof to a skylight or another roof installation a fitting collar is provided comprising a film element (7, 8) with a substantially U-shaped plane configuration with a cutout, at the sides of which there are flange parts (9, 10) for attachment of the fitting collar to mutually adjoined exterior sides (1-4) of the main frame structure of the window or the roof installation, in such manner that the film element is brought to extend substantially in parallel with the roof surface, in order to connect with adjacent parts (5, 6) of the underroof. The fitting collar can be manufactured in a simple manner, in that there in two overlapping lengths of film is produced transversal welds, at distances corresponding to a prescribed main frame width, whereby an obliquely extending part of each weld is formed with two parallel welded seams, while there in the edge zones at the opposite side edges of the lengths of film in extension of one and the other, respectively, of the two parallel welded seams are produced welded seams, which are perpendicular to the side edges. The collar elements are then separated by cutting along the cutting lines (22) between the parallel welded seams and parallel to the welded seams perpendicular to the side edges, and the collar is completed by cutting one length of film along the mid line between the welded seams with a subsequent bending upwards of the attachment flange parts.
摘要:
An automatic window assembly for installation in the roof of a building. The automatic window assembly is motorized and has a window pane that slides or tilts open or closed. The window assembly is mounted in an opening cut into the roof by attachment to an elongated template which is mounted on the roof and surrounds the opening. The template has a material thickness considerably less that that of the roof and has an opening formed in one end sized to accommodate the window pane. The template is positioned over the opening in the roof to provide the window pane opening at one end and an area of reduced material thickness at the other end. When the window is moved to an open position, the moveable pane slides under the template. A preformed and prefinished chute extends from the window to the ceiling of the room to allow with window to communicate with the room.
