Roof saddle

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION Referring now more specifically to the drawings, the numeral 10 generally designates a building including a roof structure referred to in general by the reference numeral 12.
The roof structure 12 includes a longitudinal center line 14 toward which the opposite side sections 16 and 18 of the roof structure 12 slant.
The roof structure 12 includes a plurality of upwardly opening drains 20 spaced along the center line and a plurality of roof saddles referred to in general by the reference numerals 22 and 24 are fabricated on the roof structure 12.
With attention invited now more specifically to FIGS.
2 and 5-7, it will be seen that the roof saddles 22 and 24 are constructed of quarter diamond-shaped sections referred to in general by the reference numeral 26.
The roof saddle 24 includes two sections 26 and the saddles 22 include four sections 26.
The saddle sections 26 are constructed of a plurality of first panels 28 and a plurality of second panels 30, see FIGS.
7 and 8.
The panels 28 may be conveniently 24 inches in width and 48 inches in length.
In addition, the panels 28 are approximately 11/2 inches in thickness and may be constructed of fiberboard or mineral board material.
The panels 28 are rectangular in configuration.
Also, it may be seen from FIG.
8 that the panels 30 are rectangular in plan shape.
The panels 30 are approximately 18 inches in width and 48 inches long.
Further, the panels 30 taper in thickness from 11/2 inches thick along one longitudinal edge to a feather edge extending along the other longitudinal side of the panel 30.
In order to form a saddle 22 on the roof structure 12, a chalk line 32 is formed between adjacent drains 20, see FIG.
9.
Then the longitudinal center of line 32 is marked at 34 and the precut panels 28 and 30 are laid out in a bottom layer referred to in general by numeral 36, see FIG.
5.
The panels numbered 1-6 in the layer 36 comprise panels 28 and the panels numbered 7-9 in layer 36 are formed from the panels 30
