Abstract:
A componentized three dimensional, self-aligning, self-engineering building system for homes and similar constructions and comprising:a plurality of individual, separately installable, preassembled components each having a predetermined width and the same predetermined height adapted to be selectively arranged, positioned and secured to each other in side-by-side relationship along the perimeter of and also secured on a previously prepared flat supporting surface for each of said homes and similar constructions; each component defining at least one load-bearing vertical wall section having a lower end adapted to engage and to be secured to said flat supporting surface, and an upper end; and an inclined roof truss section and having a lower end joined to said upper end of said vertical wall section and having an upper end, and defining on each side of at least two sides of said inclined roof truss section a plane of intersection with the inclined roof truss section of an adjacent installable component; each component comprising a left rib and a right rib connected together in parallel relationship, said left rib and said right rib each comprising a primary vertical member included in said load-bearing vertical wall section and having a predetermined length, and having a lower end adapted to engage said flat supporting surface, and having an upper end; and a primary inclined lower chord member having a predetermined length and a primary inclined upper chord member having a predetermined length and overlying the primary inclined lower chord member in paired relationship; said primary inclined lower chord member and said primary inclined upper chord member being connected together at their respective lower ends to said upper end of said primary vertical member, and means spaced from said respective lower ends of said primary inclined lower chord member and said primary inclined upper chord member and connecting together said primary inclined lower chord member and said primary inclined upper chord member in spaced apart relationship and defining in part with said primary inclined lower chord member and said primary inclined upper chord member a series of multiple polygon configurated reinforcements in said inclined roof truss section; said left rib and said right rib each includes connected thereto at least three trusses, each truss having a secondary inclined lower chord member having a predetermined length and a secondary inclined upper chord member having a predetermined length and overlying said secondary inclined lower chord member in paired relationship; said secondary inclined lower chord member and said secondary inclined upper chord member each having a lower end and an upper end and being connected at their respective lower ends, respectively, to and spaced at intervals parallel to each other along and inclined outwardly from said primary inclined lower chord member and said primary inclined upper chord member, and a first means spaced from said respective ends and connecting said secondary inclined lower chord member and said secondary inclined upper chord member in spaced apart relationship and defining in part with said secondary inclined lower chord member and said secondary inclined upper chord member said series of multiple polygon configurated reinforcements; and a second means connecting together said at least three trusses in spaced parallel side-by-side relationships to form with said load-bearing vertical wall section said component.
