Abstract

1. A jonction- and assembly-node, called basic node, for any given type of bar, in plane or curved structures, which may be single- or multilayered and used for various purposes, characterised by the fact that it has the shape of a body resulting from the intersection of a truncated cone and a truncated pyramid, the small bases and the large bases of said truncated cone and truncated pyramid being respectively placed in the same plane, and by the fact that the small base (3) of said body is circular and the large base (1) of said body is of polygonal shape.

Description

Dans l'art de bâtir, notamment dans la construction métallique, la part qu'occupent les structures tridimensionnelles est connue et leur utilité n'est plus à démontrer.In the art of building, especially in metal construction, the part occupied by three-dimensional structures is known and their usefulness is no longer to be demonstrated.

Le choix dans ce genre de structures ne manque pas. On connaît les poutres triangulaires, les structures planes, les structures spaciales, les structures dites à grandes mailles... Elle permettent de construire généralement des bâtiments de grandes dimensions et des toitures de grandes portées, de diverses formes : planes, à simple ou double courbure.The choice in this kind of structures is not lacking. We know about triangular beams, flat structures, space structures, so-called large mesh structures ... They generally allow the construction of large buildings and roofs with large spans, of various shapes: flat, single or double curvature.

On sait que ces structures présentent à la fois une grande légèreté et une grande rigidité et que leurs caractéristiques sont d'être composées de barres droites, soumises à des efforts normaux, de tractions aux compressions simples, sans fléchissement local, assemblées par leurs extrémités à des noeuds auxquels sont appliquées les charges de travail.We know that these structures have both great lightness and great rigidity and that their characteristics are to be composed of straight bars, subjected to normal forces, of simple compressive pulls, without local deflection, joined by their ends to nodes to which the workloads are applied.

On sait, également, que l'élément le plus compliqué de ces ensembles sections diverses venant de directions quelconques, pouvant transmettre des efforts inégaux.We also know that the most complicated element of these sets various sections coming from unspecified directions, being able to transmit unequal forces.

Evidemment, pour une structure donnée, on s'efforce d'augmenter, du point de vue fabrication, la quantité de chaque série de noeuds pour en diminuer le prix de revient. Mais, d'une structure à l'autre, et d'un genre de structure à l'autre, le besoin d'un noeud de type modulaire est nécessaire.Obviously, for a given structure, an effort is made to increase, from the manufacturing point of view, the quantity of each series of nodes in order to decrease the cost price. But, from one structure to another, and from one kind of structure to another, the need for a modular type node is necessary.

L'invention a pour objet un noeud capable d'être pour un modèle donné, dépendant de sa fonction, utilisable dans divers cas d'assemblage par un simple jeu de combinaison.The subject of the invention is a node capable of being for a given model, depending on its function, usable in various cases of assembly by a simple combination game.

L'invention évite donc tous les inconvénients décrits plus haut.The invention therefore avoids all the drawbacks described above.

Le noeud selon l'invention se présente sous la forme d'une enveloppe de figure géométrique tronconico-pyramidale dont la petite base 3 est une circonférence, la grande base, le périmètre d'un polygone quelconque et dont l'angle « au sommet est fonction de la géométrie de la structure à réaliser. Ledit angle A peut être compris entre 5° et 175°. La petite base est donc trouée et permet ainsi le passage de tout organe de liaison ou de fixation.The node according to the invention is in the form of an envelope of truncated-pyramidal geometric figure whose small base 3 is a circumference, the large base, the perimeter of any polygon and whose angle "at the top is function of the geometry of the structure to be produced. Said angle A can be between 5 ° and 175 °. The small base is therefore perforated and thus allows the passage of any connecting or fixing member.

De préférence, la forme de la grande base polygone quelconque 1, vue de dessus en élévation, a, pour périmètre, le périmètre d'un carré 1.Preferably, the shape of any large polygon base 1, seen from above in elevation, has, for perimeter, the perimeter of a square 1.

Selon les besoins de la structure à réaliser, une partie de la face enveloppe tronconico-pyramidale 4 peut être éliminée pour laisser une ou plusieurs pattes ou branches d'assemblage 5,6,7 et 8. Ces pattes ou branches ont une surface plane. Ces pattes ou branches d'assemblage peuvent être rabattues d'un angle de 90°, soit vers le bas, soit vers le haut.According to the needs of the structure to be produced, part of the frustoconical-pyramidal envelope face 4 can be eliminated to leave one or more legs or branches 5,6,7 and 8 assembly. These legs or branches have a flat surface. These legs or assembly branches can be folded down at an angle of 90 °, either downwards or upwards.

La forme choisie pour la description et sa facilité de représentation graphique, représentée figure la vue en élévation et figure lb vue de dessus, a pour grande base le périmètre d'un carré. On revendiquera le tracé théorique de la pièce en traits mixtes fins et son contour en traits plus forts continus.The shape chosen for the description and its ease of graphical representation, represented in the elevation view and in FIG. 1b seen from above, is based on the perimeter of a square. We will claim the theoretical layout of the piece in fine mixed lines and its outline in stronger continuous lines.

Dans l'esprit de réaliser la pièce la plus légère possible, il est permis d'en éliminer certaines parties, par exemple, comme le représente la partie en pointillés 2, figure 1Q pour obtenir, comme on peut le voir en élévation, figure 2a et en vue de dessus, figure 2b, une pièce allégée ou allégée à l'extrème comme le représentent les figures 7a et 7b. Ainsi ne reste-t-il, dans ces cas, que les parties utiles latérales à leur fonction d'assemblage et la partie centrale qui sert, avec son ouverture et de préférence, à réunir les noeuds entre eux tel que dans les figures 3,4,5,6 de manière énergique et à constituer une unité d'assemblage.In the spirit of making the part as light as possible, it is allowed to eliminate certain parts, for example, as shown by the dotted part 2, Figure 1Q to obtain, as can be seen in elevation, Figure 2a and in top view, FIG. 2b, a lightened or lightened piece in the extreme as shown in FIGS. 7a and 7b. Thus, in these cases, only the useful lateral parts remain for their assembly function and the central part which, with its opening and preferably, serves to join the nodes together as in FIGS. 3, 4,5,6 energetically and to constitute an assembly unit.

La cohésion et la solidité de cette unité peuvent être réalisées entre autres moyens, avec l'aide de pièces accessoires, par exemple :

  • Figure 3 : d'une entretoise A, de deux rondelles B et C et d'un boulon de commerce D précontraint ou non.
  • Figure 4 : le même cas mais avec un autre élément de fixation, un rivet tubulaire E ou plein.
  • Figure 5 : cette unité d'assemblage associe les noeuds des figures précédentes et les accessoires A et B à un embout du tube à souder F ou à visser, un goujon G et un écrou du commerce H. Le tube 1 peut être, soit un poteau, soit un quelconque élément de structure.
  • Figure 6 : combinaison de trois noeuds dont un relativement plat avec deux entretoises A et un rivet tubulaire ou non J.
The cohesion and solidity of this unit can be achieved among other means, with the help of accessory parts, for example:
  • Figure 3: a spacer A, two washers B and C and a commercial bolt D prestressed or not.
  • Figure 4: the same case but with another fixing element, a tubular rivet E or full.
  • Figure 5: this assembly unit associates the nodes of the previous figures and the accessories A and B with an end of the tube to be welded F or to be screwed, a stud G and a nut of the trade H. The tube 1 can be either a column, or any structural element.
  • Figure 6: combination of three nodes, one relatively flat with two spacers A and a tubular rivet or not J.

On notera dans ces vues en coupe des figures 3,4,5 et 6 que chaque noeud peut avoir, avant l'union complète, une orientation différente par rapport aux autres, ce qui ajoute une caractéristique, que le rivet tubulaire laisse une ouverture en son centre, libre à tout usage, sans entraver la rigidité de l'unité d'assemblage, que les noeuds peuvent avoir des angles au sommet différent et des parties latérales différentes, les accessoires s'adaptant.It will be noted in these sectional views of Figures 3,4,5 and 6 that each node can have, before the complete union, a different orientation compared to the others, which adds a characteristic, that the tubular rivet leaves an opening in its center, free for any use, without hampering the rigidity of the assembly unit, that the knots can have different angles at the top and different lateral parts, the accessories adapting.

Ce sont les parties latérales ou pattes d'assemblage qui servent à la connexion des noeuds avec les barres des structures, leurs formes plates facilitent l'assemblage de tous les profilés du commerce par boulonnage, rivetage, soudage, collage et tout autre procédé.These are the side parts or assembly tabs that are used to connection of the nodes with the bars of the structures, their flat shapes facilitate the assembly of all the commercial profiles by bolting, riveting, welding, gluing and any other process.

Dans le genre de noeud allégé, il y a d'autres formes. Dans les figures 7a et 7b est représenté un noeud à un élément de connexion, à une branche ou patte. Dans les figures 8a et 8b, le noeud comporte deux branches.In the kind of light knot, there are other forms. In Figures 7a and 7b is shown a node with a connection element, a branch or lug. In Figures 8a and 8b, the node has two branches.

Lesfigures 9 et 10 représentent des noeuds à trois et cinq branches ou pattes.Figures 9 and 10 show knots with three and five branches or legs.

Les figures 11a, 11b, llc, représentent un noeud allongé, vue de trois côtés, dont la forme dérivée est issue de la combinaison d'un prisme 12 s'intercallant entre deux demi-branches de forme de base N1 et N2.FIGS. 11a, 11b, llc, show an elongated knot, seen from three sides, the derived form of which comes from the combination of a prism 12 which is interposed between two half-branches of basic shape N1 and N2.

Les noeuds peuvent avoir également une version renforcée, tel que représenté figure 12, à partir de la demi-forme de droite, il est possible de rabattre les côtés comme indiqué sur la demi-coupe de gauche, soit vers le bas, rabat 9, soit vers le haut, rabat 10, comme représenté sur les demi-vues de la figure 13.The knots can also have a reinforced version, as shown in Figure 12, from the right half-shape, it is possible to fold the sides as shown in the left half-cut, either down, flap 9, either upwards, flap 10, as shown in the half-views of FIG. 13.

Sur les figures qui vont suivre, sont représentées schématiquement et en coupe au centre, quelques unes des combinaisons non limitatives de noeuds modulaires possibles avec le noeud modulaire de base représenté sur les figures 2a,2b et dont seulement l'angle α au sommet varie.In the figures which follow, are shown schematically and in section in the center, some of the nonlimiting combinations of modular nodes possible with the basic modular node shown in Figures 2a, 2b and of which only the angle α at the top varies.

Il y a lieu de bien noter que les figures 3,4,5 et 6 représentent des combinaisons modulaires.It should be noted that Figures 3,4,5 and 6 show modular combinations.

Dans la figure 14, est représentée une combinaison modulaire de noeuds pour créer une unité d'assemblage de quatre barres simples latérales dans cette version, mais on pourrait adapter d'autres profilés et une barre centrale.In Figure 14, a modular combination of nodes is shown to create an assembly unit of four single side bars in this version, but other profiles and a central bar could be adapted.
