主权项 1. A skylight assembly comprising: (a) an outer glazing secured in stacked configuration to an inner glazing, the glazings comprising peripheral flange sections and central body sections having substantially similar curvatures; (b) a first sealer means disposed between the flanges of the outer and inner glazings to form leak tight joints; (c) a condensation trough secured beneath an edge of the inner glazing comprising a reservoir section situated beneath an effective edge of the inner glazing to receive condensate from the interior surface of the inner glazing, the reservoir section adjoining a mounting flange section comprising two substantially parallel flanges in stacked alignment beneath the flange of the inner glazing; (d) a second sealer means disposed between the flange of the inner glazing and a flange of the condensation trough to form a leak-tight joint; (e) a molded frame comprising an upper portion and a wider lower portion, wherein the upper portion comprises an outer flange one end portion of which is contiguous with a body section, the outer flange and body section encasing the peripheral flanges of the glazings and mounting flange section of the condensation trough, the outer flange forming a leak-tight joint with the top surface of the peripheral flange of the outer glazing, the outer flange and body section comprising interior surfaces that contact encased portions of the glazings, sealer means and condensation trough to form leak-tight joints therewith, the body section comprising an underside flushed with the lower edge of the mounting flange section, and wherein the wider lower portion of the frame comprises the lower portion of the body section and a downwardly elongated roof curb collar, the upper portion of which is contiguous with the lower portion of the body section, the collar forming an opening below the condensation trough effective to accommodate the upper portion of the molded frame for stacking two or more skylight assemblies one partially within the other; and (f) a gasket secured to the underside of the center body section of the frame and a portion of the lower edge of the mounting flange section.
