WILLIAM c. scmunnn, or sALrmonn, MARYLAND,
1 nmnnmo-consrnoc'rron um'r.
To all whom it may concern:
Be it known that I, WILLIAM G. SCHNA- BEL, a citizen of the United States, residing at Baltimore, in the State of Maryland, have invented new and useful Improvements m Building-Construction Units, of which the.
following is a specification.
This invention relates to building construction in general and pertains particularly to a unit system of roofing and roofing support in which the several units are forme of balanced truss and support members.
One object of the invention is to provide a self balancing lightweight truss and truss support structure which is particularly adapted for use in roof construction, bridge construction, and other uses where by'a simple multiplication of units any desired area struction WhlOh may be quickly and easily or type 0 root may he obtained.
Another object of he invention is to proarmories and storehouses.
A further objectof the invention is to provide a light weight unit for roof con-.
erected and which may be supplemented'by the fastening thereto of addit onal units.
A further object of the invention is to prlovide a type of construction unit of the ock-down variety which shalllbe desirable for a great number of.=possib1e-; uses: and which should have interchangeable. parts and be carried in stock inlarge numbers for immediate distribution and erection.
The invention provides aninherently bala'nced truss and post or column unit formed" N of light weight structural material." The unit includes a truss member, preferablyof the bow and strin type, supported by a post or column. scribed herein the truss members have di a'gonal bracing members arranged in triangles, but vertical or other bracing means may be used. This truss member is end ported' by the column or post at the mid e of the topichord or string. This construction, by balancing the truss about the sup- :two-unitsof area arranged side by side.

'mentof the supporting means between the post and truss being the only changes necessary. The construction provides. for} two unlts to each area of roof and. a plurality of connecting members or purlins loining the parallel trusses. When it is deslred to add additional units of roofing surface it is necessary merelyto add oneadditional truss and support unit and connect the same to "the adjacent truss by means of the purlins. The parts of the'unitmay be of any size and the space between the columns or posts is governed by the length of the purlins to be used. The, angle of the truss with respect to the supporting column is governed by the use of dlfi'erent leugthtie rods ex- I tending from the column or post to, the truss I member oneither side of'the point of supvide a light weight-balanced structure particularly adapted for use in theconstruction of hangars for aeroplanes, sea-plane sheds,
port. If it is desired to use the units as ridge trusses for the conveyin of large bodies of troops, the purlins and t e straig side of the truss member ma be used as the Fig 1* represents diagrammatically a unitcon'structionarranged to-form a ouble pitchedroofhavinga two span width.

All fastenings between the truss and the column are deslgned to be made by means of bolts andnuts and not by rivets so that the structure will be easily torn down and moved from place to place for. reconstruction. It
will be clear that the inclinationpf the truss on the column may be varied b using the tie rods 12 and'13 of difierent engths.
In completing one unit section of roof area it is necessary to have two truss and column units arranged parallel and to connect the same. by a plurality of purlin members 15 formed of' channel material and which are adapted to rest on the upper surfaces of the truss members 3 and 4 of the truss 2 and to be fastened by means. ofsmall angle mem' bars 16. Where a plurality of units of area are desired, each additiona unitof area may be had by adding one extra, truss and colilmn unit and uniting the-same with the other .units by'means ofadditional purlin mem here 15. In the latter case the purlins 15 should rest on and terminate on the ad- The truss mem- The com- 1 is required between the vertical supporting columns, as may be the easewhere the structure is to be used for an aeroplane hangar, it is advisable to insert between adjacent columns atruss member arranged in a vertical plane so that the structure may berigid and the weight of the entire roof may becarried by the longitudinal truss which takes the place of intermediate columns and makes it unnecessary to place any great strain on the connecting purlins. In the types of construction in which the units of area are built end to end as shown in Figs. 1, 1, 2 and 3, the connections v between the ends of the truss members may be made by means of a pin or bolt so as toprov'ide a hinged joint or ma be made rigid by means of a plurality of The units may be used to advantage for providing a,housing which 'may be quickly erected for quarters for large bodies iof troops. As shown in Figs. 7 and 8 the units may be used for light bridge construction, the purlin members being used as floor stringers. Throughout the construction describedthe width or length of the units of area may be re lated at will by the simple introduction 0 of different length parts in individual units.
The construction provides combinations possible by using any number of units which are identical and therefore interchangeable. Chan es in material and size of the parts may e made without de artin scope of the invention. Tlie pur ins are not necessarily made of channel members but may be made of other forms of steel or of wood. The invention includes the covering for the structure which may be made of plain sheets of material or of corrugatedfastening means between thepost and the truss, connected to the truss at a point spaced from said post, and connected to the post at a point below said truss.
