Abstract:
Components for a shelter easily erectable on site comprising:a. a wall assembly including connected hinged-together panels folded into a compact flat stack adapted in assembly to form a polygonal continuous side wall structure having a plurality of side walls at least some of which comprise adjacent panels,b. a roof assembly comprising a plurality of flat generally triangular roof segments adjacent edges of adjacent segments adapted to be connected and arranged with a vertex of each triangle directed to a central point, the base of each triangular segment being opposite the vertex, the total of the vertices adjacent the point being less than 360.degree. so that the roof, after assembly, comes to a peak toward the point, the roof assembly adapted to superpose the wall assembly with the bases of the triangular roof segments resting on upper ends of the side walls respectively, andc. a plurality of roof attachment and structure reinforcement beams comprising flat sheets having generally trapezoidal shapes with long sides equal to the interior width of the respective walls, each sheet presenting three spaced pre-scored fold lines parallel to the long side and measured different distances from the long side to define from the long side a first, second and third connected side bands and an overlapping end band, each sheet being adapted to be folded on the lines to form a triangular tube, the overlapping band secured to the inside of the first side band, the first and second side bands disposed in a cross section of the tube at an angle similar to the angle between a side wall and a contiguous roof segment and the second side band being adhesively disposed against the roof segment.
