Abstract
The disclosure provides an article of manufacture that includes a rectangular horizontal member, a vertical member bisecting a length of the horizontal member and forming a T-junction at the horizontal member, first and second sloped members spanning from a top of the vertical member to opposing ends of the horizontal member, and first and second support members spanning from the T-junction between the vertical member and horizontal member to work points on an underside of each of the first and second sloped members. The article of manufacture can be assembled on the ground at a construction site from prefabricated units shipped together in parallel planar orientation in a shipping container to provide a truss unit for forming the roof of a structure.
Claims22
An article of manufacture, comprising:
- a rectangular horizontal member;
- a vertical member bisecting a length of the horizontal member and forming a T-junction at the horizontal member;
- first and second sloped members spanning from a top of the vertical member to opposing ends of the horizontal member, each first and second sloped member having a groove cut into an underside portion;
- and
- first and second support members spanning from first ends disposed on either side of the T-junction between the vertical member and horizontal member to opposing second ends which only make direct contact with work points on the underside portion of each of the first and second sloped members at each groove, wherein the second ends of the first and second support members have a precision cut male design to mate with each groove;
- wherein each of the first and second sloped members has no more than one work point disposed on their respective underside portions between the top of the vertical member and each opposing end of the horizontal member.
