Building frame structure

A building frame structure comprising:

• a plurality of frame members comprising studs, eave members, rafters, roof purlins, and ridge purlins, each of the frame members having generally tubular end portions of tubular cross-section,
• a plurality of types of connectors interengaging said frame members to receive the tubular end portions of the frame members, said plurality of connectors comprising pluralities of first type connectors, second type connectors, third type connectors, fourth type connectors, fifth type connectors, sixth type connectors and seventh type connectors, each of said connectors having lug end portions to receive thereon said tubular end portions of the frame members,
• each of said first type connectors having oppositely extending lugs disposed at an internal obtuse relative angle of about 150.degree. for engagement with roof purlins to define a gable, and having a lug extending transversely of the intersection of said extending lugs to engage ridge poles,
• each of said second type connectors having oppositely extending lugs disposed at its internal obtuse relative angle of about 150.degree. for engagement with ridge poles, and having lugs extending oppositely from the intersection of said lugs and disposed at an internal obtuse relative angle to engage oppositely extending ridge purlins,
• each of said third type connectors comprising a normally vertical lug to receive a stud, a normally horizontal lug intersecting the vertical lug to receive an eave member, and oppositely extending inclined lugs extending from the intersection of the normally vertical and horizontal lugs to receive rafters,
• each of said fourth type connectors comprising a normally vertical lug to receive a stud, a normally horizontal lug intersecting the vertical lug and extending in the direction opposite from the horizontal lug of the third type of connector to receive an eave member, and oppositely extending inclined lugs extending from the intersection of the normally vertical and horizontal lugs to receive rafters,
• each of said fifth type connectors comprising a normally vertical lug to receive a stud, and two lugs extending oppositely at an acute angle relative to and transversely of the direction of the normally vertical lug to receive a rafter and a rafter extension,
• each of said sixth type connectors comprising four lugs disposed in a cross-configuration to receive rafters on two lugs extending in opposite directions to receive eaves on the two lugs extending oppositely from each other, and
• each of said seventh type connectors comprising a normally vertical lug to receive a stud, and two lugs extending oppositely to an end of the normally vertical lug to receive eaves, the lugs forming a T-shape configuration.
