ABSTRACT:
A collapsible mansard roof structure for a transportable building, especially for a mobile home, in which the mansard roof structure includes panels along the upper portions of the side walls of the building hingedly connected at the upper edges to the building near the edges of the roof proper of the building. The panels making up the mansard roof structure can, thus, be pivoted downwardly against the sides of the building for transport, and when the building structure reaches the place of use thereof, the panels are tilted outwardly at the bottom and truss elements are interposed between the tilted out panels and the side walls of the building. The trusses are substantially triangular and are swingably connected to one of the building side wall and the underside of the panels so that they can be pivoted from positions parallel to the member to which they are connected into positions in which the truss elements are in planes perpendicular to the plane of the panel making up the respective mansard roof portion. Further, a bottom closure panel or soffit is pivotally suspended from the lower edge of the panels making up the mansard roof portions, and during transport, hangs vertically downwardly beneath the mansard roof, and when the panels making up the mansard roof sections are swung outwardly and the truss elements are set up therebetween, the trim panel or soffit are swung inwardly beneath the mansard roof sections and attached to the side wall of the building.
