Abstract:
A log assembly set for constructing a wide variety of structures, said log assembly set comprising:(a) floor plate logs each having first and second longitudinally extending sides, said first side defining therein at least two notches situated symmetrically such that said at least two notches are spaced a preset separation length apart by a middle section of said floor plate log and approximate respective ends of said floor plate log said notches are spaced a preset end length therefrom, said second side being uniformly flat;(b) regular logs each having first and second longitudinally extending sides, said first and said second sides each defining therein at least two notches situated symmetrically such that each of said notches on said first side aligns with one of said notches on said second side so as to form at least two pairs of aligned notches in said regular log and such that said at least two pairs of notches are spaced said preset separation length apart by a middle section of said regular log and approximate respective ends of said regular log said pairs of notches thereabout are spaced said preset end length therefrom;(c) locking logs each having first and second longitudinally extending sides, said first and said second sides each defining therein at least two notches situated symmetrically such that each of said notches on said first side aligns with one of said notches on said second side so as to form at least two pairs of aligned notches in said locking log and such that said at least two pairs of notches are spaced said preset separation length apart by a middle section of said locking log and approximate respective ends of said locking log said pairs of notches thereabout are spaced said preset end length therefrom, each said locking log further defining in said middle section on said first side a flat recess section therein; said floor plate, regular and locking logs for connecting at right angles to each other via mutual interfacing of said notches so as to construct walls wherein said logs lie generally longitudinally one atop another;(d) gable pieces each having a generally triangular shape with a flat top edge, a flat bottom, and two flat sloping sides at an acute angle to said bottom and an obtuse angle to said top edge, said top edge defining therein one notch situated symmetrically therealong and said bottom defining therein at least two notches situated symmetrically such that said at least two notches are spaced said preset separation length apart by a middle section of said bottom and approximate respective ends of said bottom said notches thereabout are spaced said preset end length therefrom, thereby rendering each of said gable pieces connectable to said logs atop said walls;(e) floor boards for forming flooring between a pair of opposed walls, each of said opposed walls having disposed therein at least one of said locking logs such that each of said locking logs disposed in one of said opposed walls is coplanar with one of said locking logs disposed in the other of said opposed walls, each of said floor boards having as a height a preset dimension matched to fit within said flat recess sections of said locking logs so that respective ends of each said floor board lockingly retain in said opposing walls within said recess sections of said locking logs so coplanarly disposed;(f) roof boards each for situating atop at least said sloping sides of said gable pieces to form a roof; and(g) a means for retaining said roof boards upon said sloped sides of said gable pieces.
