ABSTRACT:
An expansion roof for connecting two roofs adjacent thereto, includes a first pair of hip rafters associated with a first one of said adjacent roofs and a second pair of hip rafters associated with a second one of said adjacent roofs. Each pair of hip rafters is connected at a corresponding one of a pair of common points, and each hip rafter of the first pair of hip rafters has an end portion colinearly aligned with an end portion of a corresponding hip rafter of the second pair. Horizontal or expansion rafters are disposed between such corresponding hip rafters, and a center ridge board member is connected between the pair of common points.
With such an arrangement, interior load carrying support structures generally used when connecting different roofs together are eliminated.
In one embodiment, a tapered, beveled surface is provided to each of such expansion rafters where adjacent roofs are at different elevations and pitches, so that sheathing disposed across said expansion rafters will follow a pitch of the expansion rafter, and provide a close fit of the sheathing to the expansion rafters.
