ABSTRACT:
A hinged support structure (30) is employed between a stationary beam of a building structure and a hinged roof portion. The hinged support structure (30) includes two support legs (34, 36) hinged together by a double hinge center bracket (38). The other end of the support legs (34, 36) are each coupled to a respective end bracket (40, 42) that allows pivotal motion of the support legs (34, 36) about two axes. A horizontal force is applied at the double hinged center bracket (38) by a cable to thereby move the support legs (34, 36) vertically apart, thus raising the hinged roof. Each of a plurality of hinged support structures (30) are fixed in the fully deployed position to thereby form a part of the permanent support structure between the hinged roof and the fixed beam.
