Abstract

The present disclosure relates to building structures having roof arrangements that can be extended and retracted. Roof arrangements having ridge beams are disclosed. Building structures having double roof arrangements are also disclosed.

IPC Classes  ?

• E04B 7/16 - Roof structures with movable roof parts

Abstract

A retractable roof structure includes first and second roof support structures separated by a span distance, with first and second roof sections supported on the first and second roof support structures. A load transfer structure is configured to transfer load from a frame of the second roof section downwardly through a frame and truss structure of the first roof section to the first and second roof support structures.

IPC Classes  ?

• E04B 7/16 - Roof structures with movable roof parts
• E04B 1/343 - Structures characterised by movable, separable, or collapsible parts, e.g. for transport

Abstract

The present disclosure relates to a building structure having a convertible roof with at least one moveable roof section. The moveable roof section can include an integrated overhang. The moveable roof section can also include a roller that rides on a track formed by an angle member. The convertible roof can further have a configuration that reduces rafter visibility.

IPC Classes  ?

• E04B 7/20 - Roofs consisting of self-supporting slabs, e.g. able to be loaded
• E04B 7/16 - Roof structures with movable roof parts
• E04B 1/343 - Structures characterised by movable, separable, or collapsible parts, e.g. for transport

Abstract

A movable enclosure is configured to selectively enclose an area. The enclosure includes at least one side wall and an end wall attached thereto. The side wall comprises a number of individual panels that are independently movable along a track secured to the ground. The panels are selectively collapsible such that they may travel along the track and overlap one another when in a collapsed or stowed position. The enclosure may be configured in any number of intermediate positions wherein the panels are partially collapsed. Roof panels may be attached to the side walls for movement therewith, or alternatively, the roof panels may operate independent of the side walls to extend and retract between an open and collapsed configuration.

• E04B 1/19 - Three-dimensional framework structures
• E04B 7/16 - Roof structures with movable roof parts
• E04B 1/24 - Structures comprising elongated load-supporting parts, e.g. columns, girders, skeletons the supporting parts consisting of metal
