Definitions
- This invention concerns improvements in and relating to roofing for buildings, and, more especially, to an improved connecting means for use in the assembly of a building roof from prefabricated components of metal, e.g. steel.
- a storage area may be provided with a supported roof that does not rely upon external walls of the building for its support.
- the sices of the building may be left open for access, or may be closed by means of simple, non load-bearing walls.
- vertical I- beams of relied steel may serve as columns for supporting the roof via trusses bolted to the flanges of the I-beams at the upper ends thereof . Purlins carried by the roof trusses will tnen support the roof cladding.
- Such an arrangement is particularly useful for storage purposes, since the vertical I-beams may also serve as supports for cantilever racking of known construction.
- a roofing truss for assembly to the upper end of a vertical I-beam, the truss comprising an end face for abutment against a flange of the I-beam and further having, extending obliquely downwardly and outwardly from the upper edge of said end face, a bifurcated guide means arranged to extend over the upper portions of a flange of such an I- beam and to engage on either side of the central web of the I-beam.
- Such an arrangement provides, in a simple manner, for both vertical and horizontal alignment of the end of a roofing truss curing its attachment to the I-beam.
- clamping means for engagement around the flange of an I-beam and an end plate of the roofing truss, for clamping the latter securely against the I-beam, in use.
- the central web of the I-beam may be provided with angled counter pressure plates for face to face engagement with the bifurcated guide means of the roofing truss .
- Figure 1 is a diagrammatic elevation of part of a building construction of a kind to which the present invention may be applied
- FIG. 1 is an enlarged detail of a part of a roofing construction of the kind shown in Fig. 1,
- Figure 3 is a plan view corresponcing to Fig. 2,
- Figure 4 is a sectional plan view taken on the line IV-IV of 2
- Figure 5 is a view similar to Figure 2 showing an alternative arrangement.
- FIG. 1 there is shown an example of a building construction for use m warehousing anc storage.
- the building comprises a plurality of vertical I-beams 1 that are supported from the floor 2 of the building and anchored to the foundations in known manner.
- the upper ends of the I-beams support transversely extending roofing trusses 3 fabricated from welded steel frames in known manner.
- Trusses 3 spanning the central area of the building may be interconnected by tension braces 4, and further trusses 3 may extend as cantilevers from the I-beams 1 to edges of the roof.
- the roof trusses 3 may support longitudinally extending purlins 5 that carry roof cladding 6 in known manner.
- Such a construction has the advantage that it can provide open access to the storage area below the roof without the need for load-bearing walls.
- the vertical I-beams 1 may also carry cantilever racking arms 7 that are attached to the I-beams in known manner.
- Each roof truss includes a vertically extending abutment plate 10 as in integral part of its welded structure. At the upper end of the plate 10, there is welded e spacing plate II the thickness of which substantially corresponds to the thickness of a flange IA of the I-beam.
- the spacing plate 11 in turn supports a pair of downwardly angled guide plates 12 that form a bifurcated guide arrangement extending over the central v/eb 13 of the I-beam 1, as shown in more cetail in Fig. 3.
- the web 15 aisc supports a pair of L-shaped angle plates 13 that are weIced obliquely to the web IB, so that outwardly extending limbs thereof are parallel to the planes of the guide plates 12 and are in closely abutting relationship with the latter when the truss 3 is in the assembled position shown.
- the end plate 10 of the truss 3 is held securely in abutting relationship to the flange IA of the I-beam by a clamping means indicated generally by reference numeral 14 in Fig. 2, and which will be described in more detail with reference to Fig. 4.
- a pair of arras 15 of U-shaped channel section each have welded thereto a pair of transverse members 16 of L-shaped angle section.
- the members 16 are accurately spaced so that opposed flanges thereof extend in parallel relationship at a spacing that corresponds to the combined thickness of the web IA of the I-beam 1 and the end plate 10 of the truss 3.
- Ends 15A of the arms 15 are drawn towards one another by means of a clamping bolt 17, and the canting of the arms 15 that occurs as a clamping nut 18 is tightened onto the bolt 17, causes the angle members 16 to exert a wedging effect upon the abutting flange IA and plate 10, so that the latter are clamped immovably into engagement with one another.
- roofing truss 3 shown in the drawings is formed in conventional manner by steel beams and struts of rectangular box section it would also be possible to fabricate the trusses from angle section, also in generally known manner.
