Abstract: A main opaque shade, and one or more translucent shades, all on rollers, and capable of being individually drawn and retracted. They are positioned as in layers fore to fore and spaced from inner to outer positions, with the opaque shade outermost. The translucent shades let substantial light through and have patterns or figures thereon to cast patterns in the inner space. When more than one translucent shade is used, they can be adjusted toward and from the main opaque shade.

Abstract: A skylight assembly including a frame for securement within an opening in a pitched roof, and a window supported within the frame. Water flowing down the roof is directed, such as by a specially shaped flashing, to flow on to the window, and water flowing down the window is directed, such as by another specially shaped flashing, to flow on to the roof below the skylight frame. No part of the window projects outwardly beyond the outer edge of the skylight frame, and the window pivots inwardly to open the slylight. A window screen automatically advances to cover the opening when the window is opened, and shades of different types can be pulled across the window.
