Use of the connector (1) avoids the need for forming a 'V'-shaped slot or "bird's mouth" in the rafter (2), a task demanding considerable skill, even from an experienced joiner.
Description
- This invention relates to connectors and is concerned with connectors for securing together a pair of roof structure members, although the invention may have other applications.
- According to one aspect of the invention, a connector for securing one member of a roof structure to another member thereof comprises at least one first component for mounting on one of the members, at least one second component for mounting on the other of the members, and means for interconnecting the components in an articulated manner.
- According to another aspect of the invention, a connector for securing one member of a roof structure to another member thereof is generally of 'U'-shaped form comprising a middle portion flanked by a pair of laterally-spaced outer portions, wherein the middle portion may be used to mount the connector on one member of the roof structure and at least one of outer portions may be used to secure the connector to the other of the roof structure members.
- One or both of the outer portions may be connected to the middle portion in an articulated manner.
- The invention also comprises a roof structure comprising roof structure members secured together by a plurality of connectors, according to either, or both, forms of connectors.
- The invention results in a substantial saving in time and effort in building a roof structure.
- Various forms of the invention will now be described, by way of example only, with reference to the accompanying drawings, wherein:
- Figures 1 and 2 are fragmentary side views and Figure 3 an exploded view of a first embodiment of the invention,
- Figure 4 is a view in perspective of a roof structure, which view illustrates how the first and other embodiments may be employed,
- Figure 5 is a fragmentary view in perspective of a second embodiment and Figure 6 and exploded view thereof,
- Figure 7 is a view similar to that shown by Figure 5 and illustrates the connector in another position,
- Figure 8 is an end view of a third embodiment,
- Figure 9 illustrates how the third embodiment may be employed,
- Figure 10 is a a view in perspective of one of the components of the third embodiment,
- Figures 11 to 18 are views in perspective of eight further embodiments of connectors, and
- Figure 19 illustrates a modification.
- In the figures, like reference numerals refer to like components and features.
- With reference first to Figures 1, 2, 3 and 4, a
metal connector 1 for securing one member (rafter 2) at position A (Figure 4) of aroof structure 3 to another member (wall plate 4) thereof, comprises afirst component 5 of 'U'-shaped form for mounting on therafter 2, a pair of identical second components 6 of 'L'-shaped form for mounting on thewall plate 4, in a laterally-spaced relationship, and rivets 7 for interconnecting thecomponents 5 and 6 in an articulated, pivotable manner. - Use of the
connector 1 avoids the need for forming a 'V'-shaped slot or "bird's mouth" in therafter 2, a task demanding considerable skill, even from an experienced joiner. - Figures 1 and 2 illustrate how the
connector 1 accommodates differing angles of attitude which may be taken by therafter 2, 45° in the case of Figure 1 and 17.5° in the case of Figure 2. - The
components 5 and 6, as well as the components of the other embodiments described below, are formed withfixing holes 8 and 9 whereby theconnector 1 may be secured in place by nails or screws, andholes - With reference now to Figures 4, 5 and 6, a
metal connector 21 for securing arafter 2 at position D (Figure 4) of theroof structure 3 to one end of theridge 12 thereof, comprises afirst component 25 for mounting on theridge 12, asecond component 26 for mounting on therafter 2, and rivets 27 for interconnecting thecomponents - The
component 25 comprises afixing plate 28 of inverted 'L'-shape with a pair of laterally-spacedflanges 29 disposed at opposite sides of thelonger limb 28a of theplate 28 and extending substantially normal to said sides. Afixing hole 30 is formed in thesmaller limb 28b of theplate 28 and fixingholes 31 in thelarger limb 28a thereof. - Aligned
holes 32 are provided for therivets 27. The 'L'-shaped construction of thefixing plate 28 allows it to fit over two adjacent (top and side) surfaces of theridge 12. - The
component 26, which fits between theflanges 29, comprises a pair of laterally-spacedcheek plates 38 interconnected by abridging strap 39 extending laterally between the common upper side edges of theplates 38. Fixingholes 40 are formed in thecheek plates 38. - More than one
bridging strap 39 may be provided if desired. Where twostraps 39 are provided, one strap may extend between the common upper side edges of the cheek plates 38 (as shown in Figure 5), and the other strap between the common lower side edges of theplates 38. This arrangement provides a very secure fixing of thecomponent 26 to therafter 2, but is only employed when the depth of the rafter is slightly less than the vertical distance between the twostraps 39. - When two
straps 39 are employed, preferably they are staggered, with the lower strap disposed rearward (relative to the rivet hole 32) of the upper strap (see also Figure 10). - Figure 7 shows how the
connector 21 can be used to secure arafter 2 to a position B (Figure 4) between the ends of theridge 12. - Use of the
connector 21 avoids the need to cut the upper end of arafter 2 so that it closely abuts, in face to face contact, an end or side of theridge 12, a skilled task, even for a joiner. - Figures 4, 8, 9 and 10 illustrate a
metal connector 51 for securingrafters 2 at position B (Figure 4) of theroof structure 3 to theridge 12 thereof. - The
connector 51 comprises first andsecond components rivets 54 for interconnecting the components in an articulated, ie pivotable manner. Twoidentical components 53 are provided. - The
component 52 comprises afixing plate 55 of generally 'U'-shaped form, with amiddle portion 56 flanked by a pair ofside portions 57 extending substantially normal from the middle portion. In Figures 8 and 9 theplate 55 is disposed with themiddle portion 56 uppermost, resting on the upper edge of theridge 12, but it could be disposed so that themiddle portion 56 is lowermost, held up against the lower edge of theridge 12. - The
component 52 further comprises two pairs of laterally-spacedflanges 58, each pair projecting substantially normal from the side edges of the associatedportion 57, to which they are attached. Theflange pairs 58 are disposed back to back, in a mirror-image-like manner. - The
component 52 is formed with fixing holes (not shown) perforating the middle andside portions flange pairs 58 are formed with aligned holes for location of therivets 54. - Graduation lines 65 (extending radially from the rivet holes) are carried by the
flange pairs 58. - As best illustrated by Figure 10, each
component 53, which is intended to fit between a co-operating pair offlanges 58, comprises a pair of laterally-disposedcheek plates 60, interconnected by abridging strap 61 extending between the common upper side edges of theplates 60. Another (lower)strap 61 may be provided, which extends between the common lower side edges of theplates 60, as shown in dotted lines and as described above with reference to Figure 6. Thestraps 61 are preferably staggered, as shown. - The
plates 60 are formed with lug-like extensions 60a perforated byholes 62, which holes are used to locate therivets 54. - Markings 63 (Figures 8 and 9) are carried by the
plates 60. Themarkings 63 co-operate with thegraduation lines 65 in disposing therafters 2 at the desired angle, relative to theridge 12. - The
plates 60 of thecomponent 63 are provided withfixing holes 66. - Figure 11 illustrates an
alternative metal connector 81 for securing arafter 2 at position B (Figure 4) of theroof structure 3 to theridge 12 thereof. - The
connector 81 comprises first andsecond components rivet 84 interconnecting the components in an articulated, ie pivotable, manner. - The
component 82 comprises a fixing plate of generally 'L'-shaped form, with a mainelongate portion 85a and a subsidiaryelongate portion 85b projecting from one longitudinal edge of themain portion 85a at substantially 90°. That end of thesubsidiary portion 85b nearest therivet 84 has a turned-uppart 86a which abuts the upper end of therafter 2 and a turned-downpart 86b which, with theconnector 81 in place, aligns therafter 2 with theridge 12. - The
subsidiary portion 85b of the fixing plate is used to position the plate relative to therafter 2, theportion 85b then made to abut the lower edge of therafter 2. -
Fixing holes 87 are formed in theportion 85a, the upper longitudinal edge of which first extends substantially parallel to theportion 85b, then tapers towards therivet 84. - The
component 83 comprises a fixing plate of generally 'L'-shaped form, with amain portion 90a and asubsidiary portion 90b projecting therefrom at substantially 90°.Portion 90a is formed with a hole for receiving therivet 84.Portion 90b is formed withfixing holes 91 whereby thecomponent 83 is secured to theridge 12. - Figure 12 shows how a modified
connector 81 can be used in an inverted manner, withportion 85b abutting the upper edge of therafter 2. The only significant difference between the modifiedconnector 81 and theconnector 81 of Figure 11 is that thecomponent 82 of the former is of increased length, and has two further fixing holes 87. - Figure 13 shows how a further modified
connector 81 can be used to secure ahip member 13 of theroof structure 3 to one end of theridge 12 at position D (Figure 4) thereof. - There are a few significant differences between the
connector 81 of Figure 12 and the modified connector of Figure 13, namely: - a)
portion 85b of the latter is not now provided withparts - b) the layout of fixing
holes 91 has been changed, - c)
portion 90a has an angular upper edge, and - d)
portions - Figure 14 shows a
metal connector 101 for securing ahip member 13 of theroof structure 3 to one end of theridge 12 at position D of Figure 4. - The
connector 101 comprises first andsecond components rivet 104 interconnecting the components in an articulated, ie pivotable, manner. - The
component 102 is of similar form tocomponent 82 of Figure 11, comprising a fixing plate with main andsubsidiary portions holes 107. However,portion 105b has anupturned flange part 106 which abuts the upper end of thehip 13 to secure thecomponent 102 before it is fixed in place. - The
component 103 comprises a fixing plate of generally 'L'-shaped form, having amain portion 109a and anelongated subsidiary portion 109b in which are formed fixingholes 111.Portion 109a is formed with a hole for receiving therivet 104. The junction betweenportions - Figure 15 shows how the modified
connector 81 of Figure 13 can be used to secure ahip 13 and ajack rafter 2 together, as at position D of Figure 4. - Figure 16 shows how the
connector 101 of Figure 14 can be used to connect ahip 13 and ajack rafter 2 together, as at position C of Figure 4. - The connectors of Figures 15 and 16 could also be used in situations where two or more roof structures are joined together by valley boards.
- Figure 17 shows a
metal connector 121 comprising first andsecond components rivet 124 for interconnecting the components in an articulated, ie pivotable, manner. -
Component 122 is mounted on arafter 2 andcomponent 123 onwall plate 4, as in position A of Figure 4. - The
component 122 comprises a fixing plate of 'L'-shaped form, comprising major andsubsidiary portions 125a, 126b disposed at substantially 90° to each other. Theportion 125a is formed with fixingholes 127.Portion 125b abuts the bottom edge of therafter 2, so as to position thecomponent 122 correctly. - The
component 123 also comprises a fixing plate of 'L'-shaped form, having anupright portion 129a in which is formed a hole for receiving therivet 124, and a substantiallyhorizontal portion 129b in which fixingholes 131 are formed. - Figure 18 shows how a
rafter 2,wall plate 4 andceiling joist 140 can be secured together by ametal connector 141, as in position A of Figure 4. - The
connector 141 comprises a fixingplate 142 of generally 'U'-shaped form, having a base ormiddle portion 143, flanked by a pair of laterally-spaced outer orwall portions base portion 143.Portions holes Base portion 143 has aflange part 143a which folds over the outer side edge of thewall plate 4, to position theconnector 141 correctly. The lateral spacing between theside walls joist 140. - The
base portion 143 is fixed to thewall plate 4, thewall 144 is fixed to therafter 2, and thewall 145 is fixed to thejoist 140, with the joist disposed between thewalls - The
side wall portion 145 is reinforced by a buttressportion 150 which extends between a fixingbase portion 151 and one upright edge of thewall portion 145. Thebase portion 151 is provided with a fixinghole 152. - Where possible, and when desired, various portions and parts of the connectors which are presently integral may be made articulate, ie movable to each other, for example, by hinges or, as shown in Figure 19, by forming the components with local weakening, whereby parts may be bent relative to each other more readily. For example, to form an acute or obtuse angle between adjacent parts. In Figure 19 the component 103 (see Figure 16) has been provided with
discrete weakening slots 160 at the junction betweenportions - Modifications to the embodiments include:
- 1. Replacement of the rivets 7 etc by bolts. The bolts may be lockable so as to secure together co-operating components.
- 2. Gang nail fixing of the connectors may be employed, the connector components being perforated in a grid-like manner.
- 3. Any of the components may be provided with strap-like extensions, which can be bent so as to provide additional, "wrap-over", attachment of a component to a rafter and/or ridge, somewhat like
limb 28b of Figure 6. - 4. Alignable markings such as 65 and 63 (Figure 9) may be applied, where possible, to the other embodiments.
- 5. Connectors according to the invention may be employed to secure together structural members employed other than in a roof structure.
- The invention in its various forms enables the
roof structure 3 to be built, requiring only measurement of the height and centre line of theridge 12 or the distance between the ridge and theplate 4. Any need for a roofing square or roof calculation manual (which provides information concerning cutting of angles) can now be dispensed with.
