An openable skylight apparatus covering a roof opening having a raised curb around its perimeter. The skylight including glazing that substantially covers the opening. A frame assembly surrounds the glazing and has a depending skirt that opposes outer surfaces of the curb. A hinge, joining one side of the frame to the curb includes a bearing within a cradle that allows the frame assembly to pivot to open the skylight. The cradle has a lower and a higher end and extends by an arc greater than 180 degrees and less that a full circle between the ends. The bearing has a periphery that includes a convex surface, two chordal flat surfaces converging toward a lower convex surface and a higher convex surface diametrically opposite the other. When the bearing is rotated to a position in which the lower convex surface is at a higher elevation than the lower end of the cradle, the bearing may be pulled out of the cradle to separate the frame assembly from its hinged connection with the curb.

A skylight assembly to be secured to an exterior surface of a roof includes a frame assembly having walls, an upper peripheral edge, and an outer wall surface. Angled brackets are used to secure the entire skylight assembly to the roof surface. Each angled bracket includes a first arm which is attached to a portion of the outer wall surface of the frame assembly and a second arm which is positioned generally perpendicular to, and outwardly from the outer wall surface of the frame assembly. The second arm of each bracket is adapted to be fastened to the exterior surface of the roof. A flashing assembly surrounds the frame and includes a vertical portion which is positioned parallel and adjacent to the outer wall surface and a horizontal portion which is positioned parallel to and above the second arm. The second arm of each bracket includes an accessible portion which extends outwardly past the horizontal portion of the flashing. The accessible portion is adapted to receive appropriate fasteners and secure the second arm to the exterior of the roof.
