ABSTRACT:
A solarium structure (S) is comprised of a vertical wall frame (3); a sloped roof frame (1) mounted thereon. The vertical wall frame (3) includes two mullions (13) and a head (9) joined at the opposed ends with the sides of the upper ends of the mullions (13), the head (9)having a first-mentioned circular-arc surface (143) formed throughout the entire length thereof. The sloped roof frame (1) includes two rafters (17) and a bottom purlin (23) joined at the opposed ends with the sides of the lower ends of the rafters (17), the bottom purlin (23) having a second-mentioned circular-arc surface (163) formed throughout the entire length thereof. The lower ends of the rafters (17) are mitered to the upper ends of mullions (13). The bottom purlin (23)is placed on the head (9) with the second-mentioned circular-arc surface (163) of the former coming into surface-to-surface engagement with the first-mentioned circular-arc surface (143) of the latter so that the head (9) and bottom purlin (23) can be angularly adjusted to each other and so that draft and light can be prevented from passing between the sloped roof frame (1) and the vertical wall frame (3). The solarium structure (S) further includes means (183) for joining the lower ends of the rafters (17) and the upper ends of the mullions (13) so as to be angularly adjusted to each other.
