Elevated roof

Abstract

Apparatus for adding coverings such as, but not limited to, roof lines are generally disclosed.

1 . An apparatus for providing an elevated roof over an existing roof of a structure, the apparatus comprising:
 a substantially vertical member   a bracket coupled to a first end of the substantially vertical member, the bracket configured to support a support beam in a substantially perpendicular orientation relative to the substantially vertical member and to pivotally support a trailing edge of the elevated roof over the existing roof, the support beam and the trailing edge of the elevated roof being substantially perpendicular to each other; and   a base coupled to a second end of the substantially vertical member, the second end being at an opposite end of the substantially vertical member from the first end, wherein the base is configured to penetrate through the existing roof proximate to the trailing edge of the elevated roof and to attach to a load bearing component of the structure, the load bearing component being a load bearing wall configured to support the existing roof substantially around a periphery of the existing roof.   
     
     
         2 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the substantially vertical member comprises a metal pipe. 
     
     
         3 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the bracket comprises a bracket coupled to the first end of the substantially vertical member via a bolt, the bolt configured to facilitate a substantially vertical orientation of the bracket irrespective of the orientation of the substantially vertical member. 
     
     
         4 . The apparatus of  claim 3 , wherein the bracket comprises a cross beam bracket. 
     
     
         5 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the base comprises a metal plate having a rectangular type shape. 
     
     
         6 . The apparatus of  claim 1  further comprising flashing around the substantially vertical member proximate where the base attaches to the component of the structure, the flashing configured to articulate to substantially match the slope of the existing roof. 
     
     
         7 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the bracket comprises a hanger type bracket. 
     
     
         8 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the bracket comprises a channel type bracket. 
     
     
         9 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the bracket comprises an “L” shaped bracket. 
     
     
         10 . The apparatus of  claim 1 , wherein the bracket comprises a height adjustable bracket. 
     
     
         11 . A system for providing a covering, the system comprising:
 an existing roof, the existing roof disposed over a structure and having an eave; and   an elevated roof disposed on the existing roof, the elevated roof having a leading edge, the leading edge extending beyond the eave of the existing roof to facilitate coverage of a predetermined distance beyond the eave of the existing roof, wherein the elevated roof is disposed on the existing roof via an apparatus comprising:
 a substantially vertical member; 
 a bracket coupled to a first end of the substantially vertical member, the bracket configured to support a member support beam in a substantially perpendicular orientation to the substantially vertical member and to pivotally support a trailing edge of the elevated roof over the existing roof, the support beam and the trailing edge of the elevated roof being substantially perpendicular to each other and both being substantially parallel to a leading edge of the existing roof; and 
 a base coupled to a second end of the substantially vertical member, the second end being at an opposite end of the substantially vertical member from the first end, wherein the base is configured to penetrate through the existing roof proximate to the leading edge to attach to a load bearing component of the structure, the load bearing component being a load bearing wall configured to support the existing roof substantially around a periphery of the existing roof. 
   
     
     
         12 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the substantially vertical member comprises a metal pipe. 
     
     
         13 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the bracket comprises a bracket coupled to the first end of the substantially vertical member via a bolt, the bolt configured to facilitate a substantially vertical orientation of the bracket irrespective of the orientation of the substantially vertical member. 
     
     
         14 . The system of  claim 13 , wherein the bracket comprises a cross beam bracket. 
     
     
         15 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the base comprises a metal plate having a rectangular type shape. 
     
     
         16 . The system of  claim 11  further comprising flashing around the substantially vertical member proximate where the base attaches to the component of the structure, the flashing configured to articulate to substantially match the slope of the existing roof. 
     
     
         17 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the bracket comprises a hanger type bracket. 
     
     
         18 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the bracket comprises a channel type bracket. 
     
     
         19 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the bracket comprises an “L” shaped bracket. 
     
     
         20 . The system of  claim 11 , wherein the bracket comprises a height adjustable bracket.
