To all whom it may concern: 11S-beams having upper andY lower flanges 2l Be it lnown that I, JOHNl PEARsoN,-a and 22 4and connecting. webs 23, the carlines citizen of the United IStates, residing at extending from sideto side'ofthe car and.l Chicago the county` 'of .Cook and' State resting upon' the ridge pole, purlins,y anduof Illinois,` have invented certain new and side plates. The carlines are connected to 60 useful Improvements in CanRoofs, -'of the side bars vv19by means of suitable metal- .which the following is a specication, refer lic 4brackets 24 which are boltedto the bars ence being had therein to the accompanying and yto the lower fianges of the carlines as drawings.

vturned portions 29 of the roof panels, suit able fastening nails 35 passing through the down-turned portions 34 and 29 into the crown-mold and sideplates as' shown in Fig. 3; f v

After the roof plates are assembled upon their supporting strips oh each side of the carlines, one of the carline-caps is slipped into place along the length of the.

associated carline beginning at its router end and when the cap is in place in the position shown in Fig.l 2 its down-turned sides embrace the upper flange of the carline and the outer portions of the lip-turned vflanges 27 of the associated panels as shown in Figs. 4 and S, leaving the inner portions of these flanges f-ree to move or play under strains or twisting actions of the car. I also provide a sectional ridge-cover, each section being adapted to interlock with the adjacent ends of a pair of opposite' carline-caps at the ridge or center and extending longitudinally of-.thel car over the up-turned inner flanges 28 of an opposite pair of plates and telescopically engaging the next section of the ridge-cover. This cover is made of metallic sections which are substantially'in the' form of a Roman cross, in which the cross-arms are shorter than the body; as shown in Figs.

9 and 10 .the longitudinal portion of each .section comprises a body 36 and head v37 each consisting of a trough-shaped structure comprising a top or upper portion,

downturn'ed sides 38, and lateral fianges 39- adapted to overlie and rest upon the upper facci of a pair of opposite plates or panels 26 with the upper flanges 28 thereof in the troughs provided by the sides and top. The cross-plate 40 of each section is raised above the plane of its body or head and is provided with downturned sides 41- and lateral fianges 42, the latter lying in the same plane as, and being extensions of, the anges. 39. Each cross-piece lits over' and receives the adjacent ends of an op osite pair of carlinecaps as clearly shown 1n Fig. 10; each head 87 is Wider in cross-section than the body so that the end of the body iits Within the head of the next section by an overlappingor telescoping joint as shown in Fig. 9. 'Ihecrosspieces 40 are oppositely inclined from their centers to fit the pitch of the roof as shown in Fig. 1l, as-are the flanges 39 and 42. In assembling the parts one of the sections of the ridge-cover is placed in position upon the adjacent ends of a pair of opposite carline-caps with the portion 40 overlying the same and holding them in alinement and With the portions 36 and 37 overlying the up-turned anges 28 of the four associated plates or panels. -As the head of. each section is slightly larger than the body, it fits or telescopes over the lower end of the body of the next section as clearly shown in Fig. 9, thereby enabling the sections to lap and vhave slight longitudinal motion one upon the other caused by the movement of the parts of the roof when under undue strain.

A. running board saddle 43 is fitted. over .each ofthe u turnedv portions 40 of the ridge-cover an the associated carline-caps, and' the' running boards 44 are properly secured'to the saddles, which are bolted to th upper flanges 21 of the carlines as show-n at Vloin F igsj8. Aand 11. The saddles are suitably routed out or shaped to fit over the ridge-covers and over the carlinecaps to rest upon the plates 26. The lower lian'ges of the vcarlnes [are secured-to the purlins by bolts 46,thestrips 25 being countersunk over the heads of the bolts as shown in Fig. 8.

Various modifications and changes in the arrangement and construction of the several parts'rnay be made Without departing from the scope of my invention.
