The present invention relates to an improved commercial rooftop enclosure that utilizes a roof and wall panel design incorporated with structurally bent rails connecting the panel assemblies to each other and to a corrugated panel steel base. This forms the enclosure into a torsion box style building wherein the strength of the enclosure is derived from its overall "unibody" style construction. With this design the rooftop enclosure offers a lower overall profile, reduced weight and increased structural strength over its conventional counterparts.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed as new and desired to be secured by Letters Patent is as follows: 1. A rooftop enclosure comprising: a rectangular metal floor system made of at least two substantially similar, adjacent, mechanically connected, interlocking floor panels; a metal, four sided, rectangular wall system made of mechanically joined rectangular cross sectional wall panels and corner panels; a rectangular metal roof made of two substantially similar end panels separated and connected by at least one center panel; four steel bottom panel clips adapted for connection between said floor system and each side of said four sided wall system so as to hold and secure said corner and wall panels normal to said floor system and about an exterior perimeter of said floor system; two metal top rails with enclosed protective channels residing on opposing walls of said wall system and adapted to support said roof panels and to connect said roof panels to said walls; and at least one mechanical fastener; wherein said floor system has at least two panels mechanically connected so as to reside adjacent and parallel, wherein said panels are comprised of a first upper, concave, surface corrugated, linear steel member that resides atop a second, "C" shaped, concave, linear steel member such that said upper member's concavity resides within said lower member's concavity so as to form a void between said members that is filled with an adhesive, structural strengthening polymer foam, and wherein said mechanical connection of said panels is accomplished by a bolting arrangement between said adjacent second linear steel members and wherein said first member is comprised of an upper corrugated plate having a first side of a first height projecting normally from said plate and a second side of a second height extending normally from said plate such that said sides are congruent and parallel to each other, and wherein said first side has an "L" shape configured cap plate extending normally therefrom, and wherein said second side has a top plate extending normally therefrom, and wherein said first side's height exceeds said second side's height such that said L shaped cap plate resides atop of said top plate on said adjacent and parallel connected panels, wherein said second linear steel member is a linear plate with a first side and a second side extending normally therefrom so as to form a concave "C" configuration, wherein said first side has a first upper flange and said second side has a second upper flange and wherein said cap plate of said first panel resides atop said first upper flange of said first panel and said top plate of an adjacent panel and said top plate of said first panel resides atop said second upper flange of said first panel, and wherein said steel bottom panel clip has an upper rail and a lower L shaped rail each held in parallel configuration and extending normally from a first side of a side rail that has a wall support plate extending normally from a second side thereof and a wall sealing flange extending normally and downward from said wall support plate such that said wall support plate and said sealing flange form an exterior moisture proof seal with an exterior surface of a wall having a matingly configured outer lip that overlaps and is adjacent to said sealing flange when said wall resides atop of said wall support plate, and wherein said upper rail extends normally from a central location on said first side of said side rail so as to form said upper lip to form an interior moisture proof seal with an inside surface of said wall, and wherein said top rail with enclosed protective channel is a unitary boxed tubular channel, with a C shaped channel dimensionally sized to accept a thickness of said wall projecting from an edge of said tubular channel, and wherein said wall panels are constructed of an outer metal plate and an inner metal plate held in a spaced parallel planar configuration by an adhesive insulating polyurethane foam, and said corner panels are constructed of an outer plate formed at a right angle and an inner planar plate formed at a right angle and held in a spaced congruent configuration by an adhesive insulating polyurethane foam and wherein said roof end panels are constructed of a lower corrugated plate, a generally planar smooth upper plate and a U shaped side channel dimensioned to accept a wall panel and wherein said lower plate, said upper plate and said channel are held in a parallel configuration with respect to their longitudinal axes by an adhesive insulating polyurethane foam, and wherein said center panel is constructed of a lower corrugated plate, a generally planar smooth upper plate and a side drip cap plate held in parallel spacing with respect to their longitudinal axes by an adhesive insulating polyurethane foam, and wherein all adjacent panels are interlocked and mechanically connected.
