Abstract
A modular skylight system comprises a continuous sill for supporting a lower edge of a plurality of panel frames, each pre-assembled and having a lower edge member interlocked on the sill. Each frame includes a pair of upwardly sloping side frame members adapted to be secured and interlocked to those of adjacent members and attached at their lower ends to the lower edge member. All of the frame members include an elongated glazing pocket for receiving an edge portion of a glazing panel and they also provide gutter structure for collecting liquid from the glazing panel and for carrying the liquid down to the sill for discharge therefrom.
Claims54
A skylight comprising:
- a sill for supporting a lower edge of at least one panel frame mounted thereon, and
- at least one pre-assembled panel frame including a lower edge member for interlocking attachment on said sill and a pair of upwardly sloping side frame members secured to said lower edge member,
- said members, each including an elongated glazing pocket for receiving an edge portion of a glazing panel, and at least one of said sloping members including gutter means for collecting liquid from said glazing panel carried thereby,
- said gutter means arranged to discharge into gutter means formed by said lower edge member,
- said sill including a pair of upstanding walls and a bottom wall forming sill gutter means for receiving liquid collected in said gutter means of said members of said panel frame,
- said side frame members each including means for interlocking connection with a side frame member of an adjacent panel frame.

A skylight structure comprising:
- an elongated sill for supporting a lower edge portion of an upwardly sloping skylight, said sill including a bottom wall and a pair of spaced apart upstanding side walls integral therewith forming a gutter, and
- an upwardly sloping skylight including a frame having a lower edge member and a pair of side members and at least one glazing plane supported by said frame,
- said lower edge member secured to said sill and including a baffle wall extending between said side walls substantially closing off the space between said side walls above said bottom wall, said lower edge member including gutter means between said side walls for collecting moisture from said skylight frame for discharge to said gutter of said sill.
A skylight comprising:
- a sloped wall portion having a preassembled frame and at least one glazing panel supported from said frame,
- a vertical wall along one side of said sloped wall portion for supporting the same,
- said preassembled frame including a lower edge member and a pair of side frame members sloping upwardly thereof,
- said vertical wall including an end frame supporting at least one glazing panel therefrom and interconnected with said sloped wall portion,
- said end frame including at least one vertical member and a sloped rafter member.
- at least one of said rafter and side frame members including gutter means for receiving liquid from said sloped wall portion,
- an elongated sill forming a sill gutter and supportingly interconnected with a lower edge member of said preassembled frame of said sloping wall portion, said gutter means positioned to discharge at its lower end into said sill gutter, and
- an end cap closing off an end of said sill adjacent said rafter of said end wall.
