Energy-efficient sun room

DETAILED DESCRIPTION It is an object of this invention to provide a sun room that includes a curved transition from roof to front wall but is substantially more energy efficient than previously known sun rooms that use such curved transition sections.
The energy-efficient sun room of this invention includes a generally box-like frame that includes a front wall frame, opposing side wall frames and a roof frame assembly.
The front wall frame and the opposing side wall frames mount glass panels, windows and/or doors in predesignated positions in a manner basically known in the art.
The roof frame assembly includes a serious of spaced, roof frame members which support a plurality of insulated roof panels, each of the insulated roof panels being formed of an inner core of insulating material and having outside surfaces formed of thin metal skins.
Such roof panels, which are generally rectangular in configuration, have high insulating characteristics.
A curved, transition frame assembly including a plurality of curved transition frame members extending in parallel relationship between the roof frame and the front wall frame include curved, glass panels positioned between the curved transition frame members.
The glass panels are inter-connected to the roof and to the front wall in a unique manner such that the curved glass panels and the insulated roof panels form a substantially continuous roof section that inclines downwardly and is smoothly curved into connection with the front wall.
The description just given is intended to be merely a summary of this invention.
The exact details of the invention will be set forth hereinafter and the claims will set forth the scope of patent protection sought.
