ABSTRACT:
A building constructed of five prefabricated space-bounding elongated parallelepiped sections with a roof having four sides shaped substantially like a truncated pyramid with a single chimney projecting through the truncated portion and the angle of incline of the roof sides being reduced in the areas adjacent its perimeter. The sections are each constructed with like frameworks of metal beams and connected in a side-by-side relationship to form a rectangle as seen in plan. All heating and plumbing facilities are in the center section and the necessary vents therefor lead through the aforesaid chimney so that additional openings in the roof are not required. The center section also has roof supports connected to and across the upper portion of its framework of metal beams near where the chimney projects so as to be pivotable from a horizontal position for transport to a vertical position where it is secured to support the roof about the chimney. Intermediate roof supports are provided between the first mentioned roof support and perimeter of the roof which, where parallel to the underlying framework of beams, are supported by said beams unless the beam involved is unsupported over the longer part of a section in which case the intermediate roof support is a truss across the unsupported beam portion. Standard frameworks may be used in manufacturing the sections which are thus not required to have an unnecessary redundancy of strength with the attendant increased weight and costs.
