Claims Analysis
Total Claims: 10
Claim 1
Independent Claim
142 words
A roof supporting construction consisting of at least one unit, said unit comprising four substantially vertical posts arranged in nearly square state each other, and four substantially horizontal continuous beams which connect adjacent two posts each other among said posts and are located at nearly identical level below the apex of said post, and eight rigid supporting members connected at one end with said post at level higher than said continuous beam and at the other end with said continuous beam, each of said post being connected with two supporting members among said supporting members, while each of said continuous beam being hang-supported by two said supporting members connected with post which is located at both ends of said continuous beam, and substantially horizontal roof face constituent member located nearly level of said continuous beam and supported mainly by said continuous beam.
Claim 2
Dependent Claim
142 words
A roof supporting construction consisting of at least one unit, said unit comprising four substantially vertical posts arranged in nearly square state each other, and four substantially horizontal continuous beams which connect adjacent two posts each other among said posts and are located at nearly identical level below the apex of said post, and eight rigid supporting members connected at one end with said post at level higher than said continuous beam and at the other end with said continuous beam, each of said post being connected with two supporting members among said supporting members, while each of said continuous beam being hang-supported by two said supporting members connected with post which is located at both ends of said continuous beam, and substantially horizontal roof face constituent member located nearly level of said continuous beam and supported mainly by said continuous beam.
Claim 3
Dependent Claim
31 words
A roof supporting construction according to claim 1, wheRein connection of said post and said supporting member, and of said continuous beam and said supporting member are performed by pin-joint respectively.
Claim 4
Dependent Claim
20 words
A roof supporting construction according to claim 2, wherein connection of said post and continuous beam is performed by pin-joint.
Claim 5
Dependent Claim
20 words
A roof supporting construction according to claim 1, further comprising side walls facing to space below said roof constituent member.
Claim 6
Dependent Claim
80 words
A roof supporting construction according to claim 1, further comprising flying buttress connected with said post at one end and also located nearly on extension of said continuous beam, said flying buttress being hang-supported by at least another rigid supporting member connected with said post at one end at level higher than said flying buttress and connected with this flying buttress at the other end, said roof constituent member being extended up to the equidistance location to said flying buttress.
Claim 7
Dependent Claim
75 words
A roof supporting construction according to claim 1, further comprising two pieces of first reinforcing beam connected at each end with each of said continuous beam arranged parallel each other, and six pieces of second reinforcing beams arranged perpendicularly to said first reinforcing beam to perform connection of said continuous beam and first reinforcing beam, and connection of each of first reinforcing beams, these reinforcing second beams being arranged in two rows parallel each other.
Claim 8
Dependent Claim
66 words
A roof supporting construction according to claim 6, further comprising four pieces of another rigid supporting members connected at one end with both of said first reinforcing beam and second reinforcing beam nearby connection point between those reinforcing beams, and at the other end with said post located nearest to the connection point between each of said reinforcing beams at level above those reinforcing beams respectively.
Claim 9
Dependent Claim
89 words
A roof supporting construction according to claim 6, wherein connection point of said continuous beam and supporting member is located where over-all length of continuous beam is divided into three nearly equidistance parts, and connection point between said first reinforcing beam and said continuous beam being located where the continuous beam is divided into three nearly equidistance parts, and each row of said second reinforcing beams pass through a point at which over-all length of said continuous beam and first reinforcing beam respectively is divided into three equidistance parts.
Claim 10
Dependent Claim
38 words
A roof supporting construction according to claim 1, wherein multiple numbers of said unit are arranged in unity, and said post and continuous beam composing each unit being arranged in common with those multiple numbers of said units.
