Abstract

An Emergency Isolation and Treatment Shelter (EITS) roof system is modular and readily transportable within conventional shipping containers. The roof system generally includes a roof support structure including a multiple of identical component parts which are assembled together in a modular manner. Once the roof support structure is assembled to the rigid wall system, a multitude of roof panels are locate thereon. Once the multitude of roof panels are located on the roof support structure, a roof cap system is mounted over the edge interfaces of the roof panels and the roof support structure to provide a watertight system that is rapidly assembled. A transport channel is located within the roof system to provide support and storage areas for the running of wires, water supply conduits, and the like to provide an unencumbered floor area.

Claims

exact text as granted — not AI-modified
1 . A roof system for a modular structure comprising:
 a fist roof truss;   a second roof truss;   a first peak purlin slidably mountable to said first roof truss and said second roof truss; and   an intermediate perlin slidably mountable to said first roof truss and said second roof truss.   
   
   
       2 . The system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said first and second roof truss are identical. 
   
   
       3 . The system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said first peak purlin includes an and second roof truss are identical. 
   
   
       4 . The system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said first roof truss and said second roof truss each include purlin attachment plates having a multitude of key hole apertures. 
   
   
       5 . The system as recited in  claim 4 , wherein said peak purling and said intermediate purlin each include an attachment bracket with a multiple of attachment studs slidably engageable with said multitude of key hole apertures. 
   
   
       6 . The system as recited in  claim 1 , wherein said peak purling and said intermediate perlin each includes an attachment bracket located at an end of and on opposed sides of, said peak purlin and said intermediate purlin. 
   
   
       7 . The system as recited in  claim 1 , further comprising a first support column and a second support column, said first roof truss including a first roof truss end tab engageable with said first support column and a second roof truss end tab engageable with said second support column. 
   
   
       8 . The system as recited in  claim 8 , wherein said first roof truss end tab and said second roof truss end tab are generally parallel to a respective longitudinal axis of said first and second support column. 
   
   
       9 . The system as recited in  claim 1 , further comprising a wall cap soffit mountable to a rigid wall system generally transverse to said roof truss. 
   
   
       10 . The system as recited in  claim 9 , further comprising a multitude of roof panels engageable with said peak purlin and said wall soffit. 
   
   
       11 . The system as recited in  claim 10 , further comprising a roof cap system mountable over said roof panels adjacent said peak purlin and an interface between said multitude of roof panels and said roof truss. 
   
   
       12 . The system as recited in  claim 10 , further comprising a multitude of clips which attach each of said roof panels to said wall soffit. 
   
   
       13 . The system as recited in  claim 9 , further comprising a multitude of roof panels engageable with said peak purling and said wall soffit, said multitude of roof panels transverse to said peak purling and said wall soffit, each of said roof panels engageable with an adjacent roof panel in a tongue and groove relationship transverse to said peak purling and said wall soffit. 
   
   
       14 . A shelter system comprising:
 a deck system having a multitude of deck unit modules; and   a rigid wall system mountable to said multitude of deck unit modules, said rigid wall system including a multiple of support columns; and   a roof system mountable to said rigid wall system, said roof system including a roof truss engageable with at least two of said multiple of support column such that a first roof truss end tab is engageable with a first support column and a second roof truss end tab is engageable with a second support column.   
   
   
       15 . The system as recited in  claim 14 , wherein said first roof truss end tab and said second roof truss end tab are generally parallel to a respective longitudinal axis of said first and second support column. 
   
   
       16 . The system as recited in  claim 14 , wherein said first roof truss and said second roof truss each include purlin attachment plates having a multitude of key hole apertures, said peak purlin and said intermediate perlin each include an attachment bracket with a multiple of attachment studs slidably engageable with said multitude of key hole apertures. 
   
   
       17 . The system as recited in  claim 14 , further comprising a wall cap soffit mountable to said rigid wall system generally transverse to said roof truss. 
   
   
       18 . The system as recited in  claim 17 , further comprising a multitude of roof panels engageable with said peak purlin and said wall soffit, each of said roof panels engageable with an adjacent roof panel in a tongue and groove relationship transverse to said peak purling and said wall soffit. 
   
   
       19 . The system as recited in  claim 18 , further comprising a roof cap system mountable over said roof panels and said peak purlin and over an interface between one of said multitude of roof panels and said roof truss.
 a tab of said rigid wall system is located between two deck surfaces of two of said multiple of deck unit modules.   
   
   
       14 . The system as recited in  claim 11 , further comprising two support columns each mounted at an intersection of at least two of said multiple of deck unit modules, said rigid wall panel assembly mounted between said two support columns. 
   
   
       15 . The system as recited in  claim 14 , wherein each of said two support column is mounted at an intersection of four deck unit modules. 
   
   
       16 . The system as recited in  claim 15 , wherein each of said two support column is mounted to a respective adjustable leg assembly.
