ABSTRACT:
An articulated prefabricated modular building structure is provided having a pair of roof panels hingedly interconnected so as to be movable between a position in which the panels are disposed in a common horizontal plane to a position in which the panels are at a desired roof slope inclination, a pair of side wall panels each hingedly secured to a respective roof panel and movable between a folded position parallel to and underlying a respective roof panel and said inclined position, means for releasably holding the side wall panels in the folded position during transport of the structure to an erection site and means defined on the outer edges of the roof panels for engagement by a lifting device for positioning a structure at the erection site, the defined means in the roof panels lying in a plane orthogonal to the roof panel and substantially containing the center of gravity of that panel and an associated side wall panel when the side wall panel is in the folded position. This structure assists in erection of the building by automatically inclining the roof panels and side wall panels to the desired relative inclination upon removing of the releasable means which hold the side wall panels in the folded position, since this results in a change in the center of gravity of the interconnected panels from the points at which the panels are being lifted they will assume the appropriate inclined position so that the wall panels can then merely be secured to the foundation.
