ABSTRACT:
A profile open/fold-up truss for use in the building industry comprises: a collapsible roof member; at least one floor beam; a pair of wall studs, each wall stud including top and bottom half studs pivotably connected to opposite ends of the roof member and the floor beam, respectively; a hinge arrangement for pivotably connecting the top and bottom half studs; and a pair of foundation studs pivotably connected to opposite ends of the floor beam to support the truss. The truss is transported to the construction site in a preassembled state and subsequently unfolded to form a complete truss structure requiring minimal on-site labor.
