ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a hinged eave assembly for a sectional or modular structure that enables the eave of the structure to be positioned over the roof for transport, thereby reducing the effective width of the structure to conform with State highway laws. Structurally a plurality of elongated metal hinges are utilized to hingedly mount the eave to the roof at certain spaced intervals along the area where the roof joins the upper portion of an underlying wall structure. One end of the metal hinge is split or cut longitudinally so as to form a pair of legs, one leg being bent with respect to the other to form an angle therebetween for receiving the eave. The two legs are secured to the eave while the end of the hinge opposite the legs is secured directly to the roof of the structure. By flexing and bending the metal hinge intermediately between the connection of the roof and eave, allows the eave to be moved between a transport position overlying the roof and an extended position where the eave serves as an overhang.
