50. A modular carport structure comprising one upright member, a cantilever roof structure supported by said upright member, and star-like connecting means supporting and connecting said cantilever roof structure to said upright member,
said upright member, in use, extending upwards from ground inclined forward or backward with respect to a vertical axis; -
said cantilever roof structure extending, in use, on one plane inclined with respect to an horizontal plane, thereby having a forward upper edge and a back lower edge; said star-like connecting means comprising; a plurality of bracket members angularly spaced form one another around said upright member and secured to said upright member, and a plurality of beam elements each having a proximal end securable to a respective bracket member on said upright member, and wherein the proximal end of each beam element is connectable to a respective bracket member through a clevis-pin arrangement, and a distal end of each beam element is securable to said cantilever roof structure, and in that at least two tie members are secured to said roof structure, and to said upright member thereby forming therewith a triangular rigid structure. - View Dependent Claims (51, 52, 53, 54, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66, 67)

55. A modular carport structure comprising one upright member extending, in use, along a substantially vertical axis, a cantilever roof structure supported by said upright member, and star-like connecting means supporting and connecting said cantilever roof structure to said upright member, said cantilever roof structure cantilever-wise extending forwards and backwards with respect to said upright member, and comprising two planes or pitches inclined with respect to one another and converging towards a horizontal line in a vertical plane containing said upright member located at a lower level than said planes or pitches;
-
said star-like connecting means comprising; a plurality of bracket members angularly spaced form one another around said upright member and secured to said upright member, and a plurality of beam elements each having a proximal end securable to a respective bracket member of said upright member, and wherein the proximal end of each beam elements is connectable to a respective bracket member through a clevispin arrangement, and a distal end of each beam element is securable to said cantilever roof structure, and in that at least two tie members secured to said star-like connecting means, and to roof structure, thereby forming therewith a triangular rigid structure. - View Dependent Claims (56, 57, 58)
