Abstract
The roof structure includes main support beams (18), auxiliary cross beams (12), hangers (20) with stub axles (32a) mounted on the cross beams (12), rollers (22) extending parallel to the cross beams (12) and each rotatably mounted on stub axles (32a) of adjacent hangers (20), insulation strips (36) strung over rollers (22) on successive cross beams (12), roof panels (14) forming a cover over the main support beams (18) and cross beams (12), and batts (44) of fibrous insulation between the roof panels (14) and the insulation strips (36).
Claims13
An insulated roof structure (10) comprising a plurality of parallel, spaced main support beams (18), a plurality of parallel, horizontally extending auxiliary support beams (12) spaced apart from each other and supported by and extending transversely of the main support beams (18), the auxiliary support beams (12) each having a lower upstanding flange, a plurality of roof panels (14) mounted in covering relationship to the auxiliary support beams (12), a plurality of hangers (20) mounted in spaced relationship along each of the auxiliary support beams (12) between each pair of adjacent main support beams (18), each hanger (20) including an upper hook portion (28) in cooperative engagement with the lower upstanding flange of an auxiliary support beam (12), a plurality of elongated support members (22) hung on each of the auxiliary support beams (12) in alignment with each other and parallel to the auxiliary support beams (12), the support members (22) being cooperatively engaged with and suspended by the hangers (20), and insulation strips (36) strung over the support members (22) transversely of the auxiliary support beams (12).
An insulated roof structure (10) comprising a plurality of parallel, spaced main support beams (18), a plurality of parallel, horizontally extending auxiliary support beams (12) spaced apart from each other and supported by and extending transversely of the main support beams (18), a plurality of roof panels (14) mounted in covering relationship to the auxiliary support beams (12), a plurality of hanger assemblies (20) mounted in spaced relationship along each of the auxiliary support beams (12) between each pair of adjacent main support beams (18), each hanger assembly (20) including an axle member (32) providing a pair of oppositely extending stub axles (32a), a plurality of rollers (22), each roller (22) extending parallel to the auxiliary support beams (12) and having a pair of opposite end portions rotatably mounted respectively on a pair of adjacent stub axles (32a) of a pair of adjacent hangers assemblies (20), and a plurality of elongated insulation strips (36) strung over the rollers (22) in covering relationship to the auxiliary support beams (12), each insulation strip (36) extending transversely of the auxiliary support beams (12) over a plurality of rollers (22) hung respectively therefrom.
A hanger assembly (20) for rotatably supporting one end position of each of two rollers (22) below a beam (12) of a roof structure, the beam (12) having a lower upstanding flange, the hanger assembly (20) comprising a rod (26), a spring clip (28) mounted on an upper end portion of the rod (26) and adapted to hook over the upstanding lower flange of the beam (12), and an axle member (32) mounted on the rod (26) below the spring clip (28) and providing a pair of oppositely and horizontally extending stub axles (32a) for respectively rotatably supporting the rollers (22) when the hanger assembly (20) is mounted on the beam (12).
