Roof structure with stationary and moveable sheathed sections

Claim 1

A roof assembly for a fabricated structure comprising paralled spaced truss frames extending across the top of said structure, said truss frames each including a lower substantially horizontal chord member and an upper inclined chord member extending from an end of said lower chord member to a peak, and an oppositely inclined frame member extending from the other end of the horizontal chord member to said peak, a sheathed, fixed roof section carried by the inclined chord members of said truss frames on one side of said peak, and terminating in spaced relation thereto, a sheathed moveable roof section adapted in conjunction with said sheathed fixed roof section to form a sheathed roof for said structure, and an angularly adjustable framework for carrying said sheathed moveable roof section comprising rafter members coplanar with and hingedly secured at one end to each of said oppositely inclined frame members at the peaks thereof, adapted to be pivoted upwardly for positioning in axial alignment with said roof carrying inclined chord members, the secured end of said rafter members being adapted to engage flush against said truss frame at said axially aligned position and restrained by such engagement against further upward adjustment, and said sheath on the moveable roof section extending beyond the ends of said rafter member to overlie said first inclined chord member, adjustable vertically extending support members pivotally connected at their upper ends with said rafter members means for positioning said support members whereby said moveable roof section may be secured in elevated position in coplanar alignment with said fixed roof section and stop means on an inclined truss frame member engagable with said support means when said support means is pivoted away from said positioning means so as to support said moveable roof section alternatively in a lower position.
