Embodiment Construction

[0093] figure 1 It is a schematic cross-sectional view of a preferred embodiment of the zero-height roof system 10 , where it can be seen that the ground surface 1 is in a convex arch shape. Tension truss 2i is shown with strut means 3ai and 3bi, and it can be seen that the tension truss is tensioned across the convex arch. Truss 2i is secured at each end 2ai and 2bi to bracket means 3ai and 3bi. Installed on the top of the truss, a series of connecting rods 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d can be seen, which are suitable for installing tiles or roof tile devices 5 . It can be seen that the tension truss is tensioned across the convex arch. It can be seen that there is a small distance between the roof membrane and the surface 1 of the subfloor 11 . It can be seen that gutter means 6 are provided to catch and direct the flow of water from the roof surface 5 . It is advisable that the system includes an air evaporation device 18 which is a flow or duct like device 18 having an inlet and an o...

A zero height roof including tension members drawn tight over an arched strip or parcel af land, the tension members being cable like truss means pulled tight between stay means and upon which is secured batons means which are then clad with roof sheeting or tile means.

Description

technical field [0001] The description of the invention relates to a rainwater collector. In particular, this specification relates to a roof system for collecting rainwater. Background technique [0002] Humanity faces water scarcity in many parts of the globe. Desalination is expensive and energy consuming. Roofs of residential, commercial, and government structures are used to collect condensation that falls on the shell of these buildings. It is generally said that the roofs of buildings are mostly used for this purpose. There are many forms of building structures that have evolved over time, often with exterior coverings of ceramic, cement, stone, metal, plastic, fabric or wood. In some instances a combination of two or more of these materials is used. Buildings are usually erected so that the roof is above the floor of the building suitable for transporting items within the building. Other forms of roofed buildings that have been developed include greenhouses and...
