Benefits of technology
"The present invention provides a method to mount a roof using log-like structural elements. The method is simple and accessible for people with no particular skills in the related art. The structural elements have notches on their bottom surface that complement the shape of the top surface, and they are arranged in a vertical manner in log houses. The roof is insulated using a layer or layers of insulating material and roof covering material such as asphalt shingles or wood shingles. The junction between the structural elements may be sealed individually using weather-strips. The invention allows for various roof configurations such as gables on the same side of a roof or a roof with more than four walls."
Problems solved by technology
Conventional building techniques, featuring, for example, wood frame, precast and / or concrete block construction are relatively complicated and labor intensive.
As a result, construction costs are expansives.
Furthermore, the conventional building techniques necessitate persons having specialized skills in a plurality of fields.
Nonetheless, wood log construction can also be intricate and time consuming.
Often a considerable amount of material is wasted in the construction process.
The configurations and layouts available using log construction are also quite limited.
A problem with the log homes is that most of them require a great deal of on-site construction and labor.
In the areas where log homes are very popular, the weather tends to limit the amount of building time available in a given year.
The prior art does not show, however, a method to mount roof in a log-like manner which is simple and accessible even to persons that do not have particular skills in the related art.

Embodiment Construction
[0038]A novel mounting method for a roof will be described hereinafter. Although the invention is described in terms of specific illustrative embodiment(s), it is to be understood that the embodiment(s) described herein are by way of example only and that the scope of the invention is not intended to be limited thereby.
[0039]As seen in FIGS. 1 to 6, the roof 100 is made with a plurality of structural elements. The structural elements used to mount the roof 100 are shown in FIG. 5 and FIG. 6. As seen in FIG. 3 and FIG. 5, the structural elements 108 to 118 have a decreasing length from bottom to top. The distance between the notches of the structural elements 108 to 118 is also decreasing from bottom to top. The structural elements 108 to 118 are used to mount the walls 160 and 162 of the roof 100.
[0040]The structural elements used to mount the walls 164 and 166 have a uniform length. The distance between the notches 104 and 106 is also uniform as illustrated in FIG. 6.

The present invention discloses a method for mounting a roof using a log-like structural element. The structural element used herein comprises a top surface and a bottom surface that are complementary to each other. The structural element comprises at least two notches on the bottom surface that have a shape complementary to the shape of the top surface. To mount the roof according to the method of the present invention, pairs of structural elements are disposed generally perpendicularly on each other. For a portion of the structural elements, the distance between the notches is decreasing from bottom to top.
Description
CROSS-REFERENCE TO RELATED APPLICATIONS[0001]The present patent application claims the benefits of priority of commonly assigned Canadian Patent Application No. 2,631,567, entitled “Mounting method for a roof” and filed at the Canadian Intellectual Property Office on May 20, 2008.FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0002]This invention relates to a method for mounting a roof using log-like structural elements.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0003]Conventional building techniques, featuring, for example, wood frame, precast and / or concrete block construction are relatively complicated and labor intensive. As a result, construction costs are expansives. Furthermore, the conventional building techniques necessitate persons having specialized skills in a plurality of fields.[0004]Traditional log homes remain popular as an alternative to more common building techniques. Nonetheless, wood log construction can also be intricate and time consuming. The individual logs must be precisely cut and shaped. Often a...
