ABSTRACT:
The Skylight Escape System of the present invention includes a roof curb which defines an escape opening to the roof therewithin. A pair of spaced guides project upwardly from opposite sides of the curb and a pair of spaced tracks are provided immediately adjacent thereto. A movable skylight which upwardly carries a translucent panel is formed with cooperating slides, which slides are in sliding engagement within the spaced tracks. The application of longitudinally directed forces to portions of the skylight causes the skylight to move along the tracks relative to the curb to expose the opening for building escape purposes.
