ABSTRACT:
An assembly for securing roof panels at selectable pitch angles includes an extruded ridge bar having a horizontal ledge and a horizontally extending arcuate flange which form a horizontal slot in which the roof panels are supported at the desired pitch. Horizontally extending end portions of the arcuate flange are removable to set the angle of the slot for the desired pitch. Roof support bars extending along the side edges of the roof panels are connected to the ridge bar at the selected pitch by hinge assemblies having their pivot axes coincident with the center of curvature of the arcuate flange. A header supporting the panels at the eave comprises two extruded channel members pivotally connecting one flange of each channel member. A bifurcated arcuate end portion of the other flange on one channel member straddles the arcuate end portion of the other flange on the other channel member as the channel members are rotated to set the selected roof pitch. A pivot bracket joining the roof support bars to vertical support bars includes pivot bars connected to the support bars and rotatably connected by a pivot pin extending through transverse bores in mating bosses. Set screws or roll pins secured in holes drilled in each boss in alignment with a groove in the other boss, engage the groove to fix the support bars at the selected pitch.
