  • the roof and ceiling sections are combined with a wall element comprising outer and inner sheet wall sections and a sheet framework provided between said wall sections and forming together with the roof and ceiling sections and the framework thereof the mountable unit.
  • FIGURE 1 is a side elevation of a gable of a roof and ceiling element resting on two opposite building walls.
  • FIGURE 1A is a similar view of a modified embodiment.
  • FIGURE 2 is a section on the line 11-11 of FIGURE 1 and showing the joint between two adjacent roof and ceiling elements.
  • FIG- URE 3 is a section on the line IlI-Ill of FIGURE 1 3,2Zifl'62 Patented Jan. 4-, 1%56 and
  • FIGURE 4 is a side elevation of a gable of another embodiment of the invention.
  • FIGURES 1, 2 and 3 comprises a combined roof and ceiling element with a roof section 2 falling to both sides from a ridge 1.
  • a lower edge 3 of the roof section 2 merges into a substantially horizontal ceiling section 5 which may be of the same material as the roof section.
  • the roof and ceiling sections 2 and 5 respectively may be formed from a single continuous, bent strip of a plate or sheet the opposite ends of which are united at the edge 4 opposite to the before mentioned edge 3 to a frame-shaped unit by riveting or welding, for example.
  • a framework 6 also of plate or sheet is provided, said framework extending substantially along the whole width of the combined roof and ceiling element measured in the longitudinal direction of the ridge 1.
  • This framework may consist of a single folded or bent sheet or plate (FIGURE 1A), but according to FIGURE 1 it consists of two framework parts which are united or bear against each other in the vertical plane llII with which the ridge ll coincides.
  • all plate or sheet members of the roof and ceiling element are corrugated.
  • the corrugations of the roof section runs from the ridge 1 to the edges or eaves .3 and 4 respectively, and the corrugations of the ceiling run from the edge or eaves at one side to the edge or eaves at the opposite side of the roof and ceiling element.
  • the corrugations of the inclined or vertical sheet or plate portions of the framework run in the height direction of said portions.
  • the upper and lower edges 7 of the framework plates e are undulated and fitted in the corrugations of the roof and ceiling sections 2, 5.
  • the framework members are secured to said sections by means of rivets, screw bolts or welding (spot Welding).
  • the required number of roof and ceiling elements are placed side by side on the walls 8 of the house buildings, and these elements may be entirely without any support between these walls without any noticeable deflection of the ceiling 5.
  • the element may, for example, be made of rather thin sheet of aluminum alloy and is consequently light in spite of its large extent and may be handled with-out difiiculties in the mounting thereof.
  • rigidity it may be compared with a trussed beam the head and foot of which is formed by the roof section 2 and ceiling section 5 respectively and the web of which is formed by the framework 6.
  • the element also permits a relatively great free span between the supports 8.
  • the ceiling and roof sections 2 and 5 and the framework plate 6 delimit channels 9 of triangular cross-section the bases of which are formed alternately by the roof and by the ceiling section.
  • the surfaces of these channels may be covered by heat insulation material 14 preferably of fireproof character such as rock wool or glass wool.
  • Said channels d may also be used as ducts for air currents for heating, cooling or ventilation of the room or space 15 of a house covered by the elements 2, 5, 6.
  • a channel 9 near the ridge l or center of the roof may be connected to the room 15 by an adjustable nozzle or opening 16 for suction of consumed air from said room by a fan 17 and supply of warm, cold or fresh air be effected through another channel or channels 9 through one or more nozzles or openings 18 into the room 15 in the directions indicated by arrows 19 or in inversed directions.
  • the sheet metal section 2 at one edge prependicular to the vertical plane IIII or ridge 1 has portion 10 overlapping the edge portion of adjacent sheet metal section 2 as shown by FIGURE 2.
  • one edge of the sheet metal section perpendicular to the plane 11-11 by a portion 11 overlaps the edge portion of the adjacent ceiling sheet.
  • the overlapping portions at and 11 are joined to each other by screw bolts, rivets or welding.
  • the framework of an element 2, 5, 6 is formed by a single sheet or plate 6 which is placed symmetrically in respect of the vertical plane with which the ridge 1 coincides, and a fewer number of channels 9 are provided.
  • warm air under pressure is conducted through the central channel 9 and the adjustable inlet or nozzle 18 into the room 15, and consumed air is conducted from the room 15 through the adjustable outlets or nozzles 16 by suction fans 17 as indicated by the arrows.
  • a single roof and ceiling element 2, 5, 6 extends between two opposite supports or house building walls 8.
  • Each element 2, 5, 6 may also be provided to cover only a portion of the span between said walls, such as the half of the span as shown by FIGURE 4.
  • two inclining ceiling and roof elements are provided lending support and united to each other along the ridge 1 by means of welding, rivets or screws. These two elements are each rigidly connected to a wall element formed by an outer wall section 12 and an inner wall section 13 of substantially the same width as that of the sections 2 and 5 of the roof and the ceiling.
  • the framework 6' between the outer and inner wall sections 12 and 13 forms horizontal channels 9' and may be of the same character as the framework or works 6 between the roof and ceiling sections so that framework 6 corresponds to the showing of framework 6 in FIG. 2 and may, if desired, be formed in separate parts or in continuation of the framework or works 6.
  • the construction permits that the roof, outer wall, inner wall and ceiling sections are formed from a single continuous sheet of metal or other material. The sections of the walls overlap each other in the same manner as described in regard of the roof and ceiling sections. Also the channels 9 may serve, if desired, similar purposes as the channels between the roof and ceiling sections.
  • means 16, 18 are provided for supply of warm, fresh or cold air to the room 15 and conducting consumed air from the room 15, in similar manner as above described.
  • the lower ends of the building walls engage with anchoring studs or members 20 on a foundation or supporting plinths 21.
