Abstract: A screen for a skylight which is mounted on a substantially flat roof and which includes a frame having spaced apart vertical walls extending upwardly from the roof. The screen includes a plurality of longitudinal bars and a plurality of transverse bars secured thereto so as to form a plurality of rectangular openings. The transverse bars having a central portion forming an arch that is adapted to overlie the skylight. The transverse bars also include end portions having a substantially vertical section merging into the central portion and a substantially horizontal end section extending outwardly. The end sections are adapted to act as a foot allowing said screen to rest on and be supported by the roof. The transverse rods also include an intermediate section between the vertical section and the horizontal section that is spaced from the corner formed between the roof and each of the vertical walls of the skylight frame.

Abstract: A roof hatch safety railing for increasing a person's safety as he or she climbs onto a roof or platform of a building from a roof or access hatch is disclosed. The safety railing includes two poles where one pole is attached to the right side of a roof hatch and the other pole is attached to the left side of the hatch. A person may grab the poles as he or she climbs from the roof or access hatch ladder, through the hatch, and onto the roof or platform. The poles are also spaced away from the hatch, thereby allowing enough clearance for a lid of the hatch to close and cover the hatch. The railing may be modified to accommodate various types and sizes of roof or access hatches.
