Attorney, Agent or Firm:

A metal frame construction for residences having gabled or hipped roofs which is readily adaptable to form any of the typical gable or hip roof variations used in residential plans designed to be built using wooden framing. The frame construction includes a primary rigid frame and one or more secondary ridge beam/column frames joined to the primary rigid frame to form a new and different framing system for any of the typical residential gabled or hip roof plans.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION Briefly, the present invention provides a new and improved metal frame construction for residences having gabled or hipped roofs which is readily adaptable to form any of the typical gable or hip roof variations used in residential plans designed to be built using wooden framing.
The present invention thereby provides the builder with a new and different system for framing homes with preformed steel framing members having the advantages of structural simplicity, strength and fire resistance.
Apart from the structural advantages, significant cost savings may be possible for the owner of a residence constructed in accordance with the frame of the present invention through the reduction of fire hazard insurance and wind damage premiums on the residence.
These savings in many instances may substantially offset the increased expense of using steel framing members.
The frame construction of the present invention includes a primary rigid frame and one or more secondary ridge beam/column frames joined to the primary rigid frame to form a new and different framing system for any of the typical residential gabled or hip roof plans.
The present invention also includes additional primary and secondary steel framing and metal decking so arranged and fabricated to provide a complete framing system ready for application of conventional finish materials on the roof and walls.
