ABSTRACT:
The invention comprises an improved connector for providing a sloped roof deck between horizontal joists and a plurality of roof trusses. A plurality of sets of integral connectors are used for connecting the roof trusses to the joists with the roof trusses being in a parallel array and perpendicular to the joists. Each of the integral connectors has a base element for mounting to the joist and a support element for mounting to the roof truss with a coupling means disposed therebetween. Each set of connectors has a discrete size coupling means to dispose the support elements at different heights relative to the base elements thereby sloping the roof trusses at the acute angle relative to a horizontal. The sloped roof deck generally comprises a plurality of sheet members disposed between adjacent roof trusses of the parallel array. A hardenable roof material such as concrete or gypsum is disposed upon the plurality of sheet members and bonded to the roof trusses resulting in a sloped roof of high structural strength. The foregoing abstract is merely a resume of one general application, is not a complete discussion of all principles of operation or applications, and is not to be construed as a limitation on the scope of the claimed subject matter.
