Abstract: A skylight having a dome and adapted for setting on a curb or suitable bracket means upstanding from the well in a roof structure to be lighted is made from a self supporting channel shaped frame having an inner leg attachable to the curb and an outer leg attachable to a flashing which is fixed to the roof. The dome sets down upon a pair of flanges integrally formed with the channel and upstanding from its upper surface to create an enclosed dead air space between it and the flange of the dome. The dome is held down upon the channel by the clamping action of a retainer frame which is fixed to the outer leg of the channel.

Abstract: A window garden is comprised of a fixed frame secured to the perimeter of a window opening in a dwelling house and has an outwardly moveable sash frame fixed and hingeable to the top edge of the window frame. A pair of transparent domed members having dead air or vacuum therebetween form a plant displayable enclosure in the window which is protected from frost and obtains maximum winter sunlight when oriented in a southern exposure of a dwelling. Means such as nylon or polypropelene screen material are provided between said fixed and moveable frames to exclude insects when the domed sash frame is moveable outward to allow air to enter therebetween.
