DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERnED EMBODIMENT
Referring to Figures 1, 2 and 3, a building construction 10 within the scope of the present inven-tion is illustrated, Figure 1 illustrates the building 10 as constructed in its final form. Included in the finished building 10 are doors 12 mounted on hinges, generally designated 16, indoor frame 14, front 18 and rear 20 supports, each comprised of two sections, designated 18a and lBb and 20a and 20b, respectively, generally planar in configuration and hereinafter called walls with respect to the preferred embodiment, side wall members 22, roof panels 24, door and door frame trim 26, edge trim 28, and a plywood floor 30 on floor joists 32. Alternatively, the floor 30a may be a concrete slab with locator cleats 31a, 32a, and 33a located either adjacent the inside surfaces of the walls 18, 20, and 22 (Figure 2a) or suppoTting them from be~ow, or any other arran8ement as known in the art.
Figures 2 a~d 3 iLlustrate the building 10 in intermediate stages of construction. Initially, the floor 30 is secured to the ~oists 32. The front wall sections lBa and 18b are connected at support member 33 ~Figure 8), and a door stop 34 and locator members 36 and 38 are atsached to the inner surface 40 of the front wall 18, as shown in Figure 8, after the doors 12 and 14 have been cut out and attached by hinges 16.
,, . ~
lZ1~39Z;~
The door and door frame trim 26 may be added at any time, but is usually preassembled on said front wall 18 or added prior to cutting out and hinging the doors.
Rear wall sections 20a and 20b are secured together by vertical 42 and horizontal 44 braces secured to the inner surface 48 of the rear wall 20, as shown in Figure 8. The vertical 42 and horizontsl 44 braces are sligned by four triangular shaped locator members, gen-erally designated 43, and horizontal locator blocks 45, all of which are usually preassembled on said rear wall sections 20a and 20b. Floor locator members 46 are likewise sscured to said rear wall 20 as shown in Figure 9. The front wall 18 is then attached to the floor 30 and a brace 50 is temporarily secured between the floor 30 and the wall lB. The procedure is then repeated for t~e rear wall 20 aDd the temporary brace 52 to arrive at the construction shown in Figure 3.
In the preferred embodiment, the locator members 36, 38, and 46 locate the front wall 18 and rear wall io in an overlapping relations}lip with the floor 30 to decoratively cover the outer edges of the floor 30.
The doors 12 each have five sides including a diagonal or canted upper portion 13 in the preferred embodiment. The diagonal portions 13 keep the doors 12 from racking to remain both more functionally and sesthetically appealing> while also having spaced apart horizontal 17 and vertical edges 19 to slign the doors conventionally and utilize conventional hinges 16, as shown in Figure 8. The door frame 14 has edges 15 parallel to each of said door edges 13, 17, and 19.
1 21~92;~
The diagonal portions 13 of the doors 12 meet the hinged vertical edges 19 of the doors 12 above the uppermost of the hinges 16 and gen~rally form an angle of thirty to sixty degrees with the line formed with a horizontal edge 17 of the door lZ.
The next step involves hanging the purlins, generally designated 54, fJom the front wall 18 to the rear wall 20. Referring to Figures 8 and 9, pairs of notches 56 and 58 are located at spaced intervals along the periphery of front wall 18 and rear wall 20, respec-tively. Purlin hangers 60 are attached to both ends 62 and 64 of each purlin 54 and are inserted in the notches 56 ar.d 58 to properly locate and attach the purlins 54 along the periphery of the front 18 and rear 20 walls.
The braces 50 and 52 are removed after the purlins 54 have been hung. At the peak 116, a purlin 54 is hung from the top of vertical brace 42 on the rear wall 20 to the top of support member 33 on the front wall 18 and secured by suitable nail fasteners, although a notch and hanger arrangement could readily be utilized.
The hangers 60, referring to Figures 4, 5, 6, and 7, are preferably a one-piece sheet metal cons~ruc-tion having a seat 66 which has means, such as apertures 68 and 70 in bottom section 72 (Figure 7), thrsugh which tbe hanger 60 can be secured to a purlin 54 by a suit-zble fsstener, such as a conventional nail. Sidewalls or flanges 74 and 76 extend upwardly generally perpen-dicularly from the bottom section 72 to form the seat 66. The flanges 74 and 76 also have means, such as apertures 78 and 80, respectively, to additionally ~21(~ 22 secure the hanger 60 to the purlin 54 by a suitable fastener, such as nail 79. C-shaped arms B2 and 84 are integrally attached to the flanges 74 and 76 of the seat 66. Support flanges 86 and 88 extend generally perpen-dicularlyfrom the sidewalls 74 and 76, respectively, from which top sections 90 and 92 extend. Attachment flanges 94 and 96 extend downwardly and substantially perpendicularly irom said top sections 90 and 92 respec-tively. The top sections 90 and 92 extend to form sur-faces in substantially the same plane, substantially parallel with the plane formed by the bottom section 72, and generally perpendicularly from the plane formed by the support flanges 86 and 88. Attachment flanges 94 and 96 extend substantially parallel to the plane formed by support flanges 86 and 88. Top sections 90 and 92 engage the notches 56 and 58 when the hanger 60 is located in its proper position. Nails 98 and 100 are integrally formed within the flanges 94 and 96 respec-tively. The nails 98 and 100 are comprised of head flanges 102 and 104, respectively, and generally per-pendicularly situated nail point flanges 106 and 108.
One hanger 60 is attached to each end 62 and 64 of purlin 54 by suitable fasteners and the purlin 54 is located as a span between the front 18 and rear 20 walls by the insertion of the top sections 90 and 92 of the arms 82 and 84 of the hanger 60 into the notches 56 and 58 at the periphery of the front snd rear walls 18 and 20. Attachment flsnges 94 and 96 will then be located adjacent the outer surface 110 of front wall 18 ~l2~(~9z:Z
or the outer surfsce 112 of rear wall 20. The purlin 54 and hanger ~0 are secured by driving nail point flanges 106 and 108 through the as~ociated outer surface - into engagement wi~h the associated front or rear wall lB or 20, as illus~rated in Figure 6 by nail point flange 106R, After all of the purlins 54 are secured, referring to Figure l, the sidewall members 22 are attached. The sidewalls 22 have locator members 113 at the lower poTtions thereof (Figure 1) to locate the sidewalls 22 in an overlapping relationship with the floor 30 to decoratively cover the outer edges of the floor 30. The roof panels 24 are then attached and edge trim 28 is added. The edge trim 28 will cover the attachment flanges 94 and 96 of the hangers 60, which would otherwise be exposed, and will provide an aesthetically appealing appearance. The roof panels, walls, and trim are preferably made of wood and may be painted or stained at any time in the construction process, either before or after mounting. Ridge shingles 114 may be added at the peak 116 of the roof to provide a better weather seal at that point and a more aesthetic ally pleasing appesrance. Attachment of a conventional door latch llB and outer door stops 120 (Pigure l) gen-erally completes the construction of the building.
The purlin hanger arrangement of the present invention is particularly noteworthy for its elimination of any rafters or the like attached to the inner surfaces of the periphery of front and end walls 18 and 20.
