The present invention presents a movable sky light assembly used on a opening of a roof comprising a fixed frame, a wing frame with a lighting member supported on the fixed frame, said fixed frame being equipped with a driving device to operate said wing frame capable of opening and closing by connecting members for the frames. The fixed frame is provided with a detecting device for rainfall and the detecting device comprises a detecting sensor and its protecting means, and the sky light is constructed so as, when the wing frame is open, the detecting sensor of the detecting device is in the working posture and, when the wing frame is closed, the detecting sensor is protected by the protecting means. As the sky light is used also for ventilation, the connecting members of the frames are formed as a operating member of the wing frame and various aspects of the rain detecting device to close the wing frame in the rain is disclosed in relation to the operating member. Also in the invention, the fixing construction of the lighting member on the wing frame as well as the means for stable operation is improved in many ways to eliminate drawbacks of prior art through the actual experiences obtained. Various combinations are available for the product of the sky light including device for eventual manual operations.

This invention discloses an elevation bed apparatus which moves up and down while keeping its horizontal posture, in order to improve an effective use of an indoor space. The elevation bed of this invention includes an elevation device and a safety device, and the elevation device includes a winding mechanism and a wire driving system of a wire wound on the winding mechanism. A bed main body moves up and down along a guide rail when the wire is wound and rewound. When the elevation bed is of an electric type, the safety device checks the operation or cuts off the power source to stop the elevating motion of the bed main body. This safety device includes all, or the combination, of a safety device consisting of an elevation management mechanism of the elevation bed disposed on the handrail of the bed main body and the upper surface of the peripheral frame of the bed main body, a slack sensor disposed in a winding path of the wire driving system in order to sense the slack of the wire and to cut off the power source, a descension limit sensor disposed on the lower surface of the bed main body and an ascension limit sensor disposed on the surface of the ceiling above the place of disposition of the bed, and an emergency stop safety means. The present invention includes systems which can correspond to the electric and manual elevation beds, respectively, and modified modes of various safety devices, and can be combined freely.
