Description

    BACKGROUND
  • The present invention relates to a roof for a portable storage container. Such storage containers are frequently placed outdoors where they are exposed to rain, and thus the roofs of the containers need to be fully waterproof in order to prevent water damage to the contents of the container. FIG. 1 illustrates a portion of a rail 10 that extends along one of the edges of the rectangular top of the container. A similar rail 10 extends along each of the other three edges of the rectangular top of the container, as shown in FIG. 2. Each rail 10 includes a vertically-oriented portion 12 attached to a horizontally-oriented portion 14. A roof sheet (not shown) may be disposed above rails 10 and may be riveted to each horizontally-oriented portion 14. A silicone-based sealant is typically applied to the rivet joints in order to make the joints waterproof. However, the sealant degrades with age, which makes it difficult to maintain the rivet joints in a waterproof state. Further, often due to workmanship errors, there is often too much spacing between rivets, or rivets are missed, in which case the sealant cannot adequately cover the gap, which leads to water leaks.
    • SUMMARY
  • The present invention may include a roof rail having a down-sloping upper surface to which a roof sheet may be riveted. The down-sloping surface enables any water near the rivet joint to drain down away from the joint by force of gravity. Like the topside, the underside of the rivet joint is exposed to ambient air and is on a downslope to facilitate drainage and evaporation of any moisture near the rivet joint.
  • The invention comprises, in one form thereof, a portable storage container including a plurality of upstanding sidewalls defining a storage space therebetween such that the sidewalls are disposed in an outward direction from the storage space. A roof sheet is disposed above the sidewalls. At least one roof rail is connected to a corresponding one of the sidewalls. The roof rail includes a horizontal portion defining a first plane that is horizontally oriented, and a down-sloping portion attached to an outer edge of the horizontal portion. The down-sloping portion extends in an outward direction away from the horizontal portion and defines a second plane oriented at an angle of approximately between ten degrees and eighty degrees relative to the first plane. At least one fastener attaches the roof sheet to a corresponding down-sloping portion of a corresponding roof rail. Such fasteners extend through the roof sheet.
  • The invention comprises, in another form thereof, a roof rail for interconnecting a roof sheet and an upstanding sidewall of a portable storage container. The roof rail includes a cap portion including a first edge and a second edge. The cap portion defines a first plane and is horizontally oriented while supporting a body of the roof sheet. A brim portion of the roof rail is attached to the first edge of the cap portion. The brim portion defines a second plane oriented at an angle of approximately between ten degrees and eighty degrees relative to the first plane. The brim portion is fastened to an outer periphery of the roof sheet while the brim portion slopes downward from the cap portion and while the cap portion is horizontally oriented and supports the body of the roof sheet. A leg portion is connected to the second edge of the cap portion. The leg portion is oriented perpendicular to the cap portion. The leg portion is attached to the upstanding sidewall of the portable storage container.
  • The invention comprises, in yet another form thereof, a method of installing a roof sheet on a portable storage container, including attaching a roof rail to one of a plurality of upstanding sidewalls that define a storage space therebetween such that the sidewalls are disposed outwardly from the storage space. A roof sheet is placed above the upstanding sidewalls such that a horizontal portion of the roof rail supports a body of the roof sheet. A periphery of the roof sheet is fastened to a down-sloping portion of the roof rail. The down-sloping portion extends outwardly and downwardly from an outer edge of the horizontal portion. A first plane defined by the horizontal portion is oriented at an angle of approximately between ten degrees and eighty degrees relative to a second plane defined by the down-sloping portion.
  • An advantage of the present invention is that water may drain away from the rivet joints that attach the roof sheet to the container.
  • Another advantage of the present invention is that waterproofing may be achieved without using sealant on the rivet joints that attach the roof sheet to the container.
  • Yet another advantage of the present invention is that even if there is workmanship error during riveting the roof is still waterproof.

Although the drawings represent embodiments of the present invention, the drawings are not necessarily to scale and certain features may be exaggerated in order to better illustrate and explain the present invention. Although the exemplification set out herein illustrates embodiments of the invention, in several forms, the embodiments disclosed below are not intended to be exhaustive or to be construed as limiting the scope of the invention to the precise forms disclosed.
    • DETAILED DESCRIPTION
  • The embodiments hereinafter disclosed are not intended to be exhaustive or limit the invention to the precise forms disclosed in the following description. Rather the embodiments are chosen and described so that others skilled in the art may utilize its teachings.
  • Referring to the drawings, wherein like numerals indicate like elements, FIG. 3 illustrates one embodiment of four roof rails 20 of the present invention attached to the rectangular top of a portable storage container 26. In one embodiment, portable storage container 26 has a height h approximately between seven and eight feet, a width w approximately between seven and eight feet, and a length l approximately between eight and twenty feet.
  • FIG. 4 illustrates portable storage container 26 along line 4-4 of FIG. 3. Portable storage container 26 includes roof rails 20 (FIG. 5), rivet pins 28, a roof sheet 30, a roof sheet support tube 32, side panels 34, back posts 36, a rear wall 38, floor rails 40 (FIG. 6), wooden floor 42, a floor support 44 and a floor support tube 46.
  • Optional brackets 47 may be spaced along the lengths of roof rails 20, and each bracket 47 may be attached to both roof rail 20 and roof sheet 30. As shown in FIG. 3, brackets 47 do not cover most of the lengths of roof rails 20.
  • As shown in FIG. 7, roof rail 20 includes a vertically-oriented leg portion 48 which is attached to a horizontally-oriented base portion 50, which is attached to a vertically-oriented back portion 52, which is attached to a horizontally-oriented cap portion 54, which is attached to a down-sloping brim portion 56. Leg portions 48 may be attached or adhered to side panels 34. Back portions 52 may be attached or adhered to roof sheet support tubes 32.
  • As shown in FIG. 5, cap portion 54 may support a body of roof sheet 30. A periphery of roof sheet 30 may be attached to brim portion 56 by rivet pin 28. The body of roof sheet 30 may be inside of and surrounded by the periphery of roof sheet 30.
  • As shown in FIG. 8, brim portion 56 may be oriented at an angle of 150 degrees relative to cap portion 54. That is, brim portion 56 may be oriented at an angle 0 of 30 degrees down from the horizontal plane 57 of cap portion 54. A height 58 of roof rail 20 may be about 135 millimeters (mm); a width 60 of roof rail 20 may be about 44 mm; a thickness 62 of roof rail 20 may be about 3 mm; a height 64 of back portion 52 may be about 60 mm; a width 66 of cap portion 54 may be about 23 mm; and a width 68 of brim portion 56 may be about 16 mm.
  • Although angle θ is shown as being about 30 degrees, angle θ may be approximately between 10 degrees and 80 degrees within the scope of the invention. An advantage of angle θ being less than 90 degrees is that the integrity of the galvanization coating (e.g., zinc) on a rail 20 made of steel or iron is easier to maintain the smaller angle θ is. Similarly, because the shape of roof sheet 30 at its outer edges may conform to the shape of the upper surfaces of cap portion 54 and brim portion 56, an advantage of angle θ being less than 90 degrees is that the integrity of a roof sheet 30 having any brittleness is easier to maintain the smaller angle θ is. Another advantage of angle θ being less than 90 degrees is that there may be less warping during galvanizing.
  • While this invention has been described as having an exemplary design, the present invention may be further modified within the spirit and scope of this disclosure. This application is therefore intended to cover any variations, uses, or adaptations of the invention using its general principles. Further, this application is intended to cover such departures from the present disclosure as come within known or customary practice in the art to which this invention pertains.
