Definitions
- This invention relates to a support for supporting a structure on the ground or other support surface, hereinafter for convenience referred to as "the ground”.
- the structure supported may, for example, comprise either a building or building unit of the type which is prefabricated and delivered to a prepared site, either in fully erected form or in the form of a knock-down pack.
- a building structure Such a structure will hereinafter be referred to as "a building structure”.
- the cam is usually rotated manually by a lever and the set distances are usually about 50mm.
- the inner telescoping part of the support is therefore usually provided along its length with a series of openings at 50mm spacings.
- a supprot having an inner part telescoped within an outer part with one of said inner and outer parts having means to secure the part to a structure to be supported, the other of said inner and outer parts having a foot for engagement with the ground, the inner or outer part having along its length a series of openings, each opening being capable of receiving an axle of a cam means, the cam means further including an eccentric cam which acts on the outer or inner support part respectively, and lever means to rotate the cam and hence cause telescopic extension of the parts, locking means being provided to preventtelescop- ic retraction of the parts when the inner and outer parts are in selected relative positions, the inner or outer part on which the cam bears having first and second abutments at positions displaced longitudinally of the support, and the cam being engageable with the first and second abutments selectively.
- the outer part can be relatively telescoped a first set distance by engaging the cam with the first abutment, and a second set distance thereafter by engaging the cam with the second abutment.
- the series of openings in the inner member are prefereably regularly spaced, in which case the first and second set distances may add up to a total set distance equivalent to the spacing between the openings in the inner part.
- the mechanical advantage achieved by the cam can be increased so that the first and second set distances of relative movement between the inner and outer telescoped parts are small over the entire travel of the cam whilst the total distance may be sufficiently large that an excessive number of openings in the inner or outer telescoped part are not required.
- the first and second abutments may be transversely displaced, the cam being transversely moved, for example along its axis of rotation, to enable the cam to engage either the first or the second abutments.
- the locking means may need to be employed to provide support whilst the transverse movement of the cam is carried out.
- the part on which the cam bears may be provided with an aperture which can be aligned with each of the openings of the series of openings of the other part, and the locking means, which may be a pin or the like, may, in use, be received in the aperture and an aligned one of the series of openings, to relatively lock the inner and outer parts against telescopic retraction.
- first and second set distances are each less than the spacing between the openings of the series of openings in a preferred embodiment two apertures are provided in the part on which the cam bears, each aperture extending longitudinally of the support, a distance substantially equal to the first or the second set distance, whichever is the greater, although usually the first and second set distances and hence the extent of each of the apertures would be substantially equal.
- the pin may be moved from one aperture to the other whilst the part on which the cam bears is supported relative to the other part by the cam means, and the longitudinal and transverse positions of the cam can be moved whilst the parts are supported against retraction by the locking means received in either one of the apertures, whichever is suitably aligned with an opening of the series of openings.
- the first abutment may be provided on the outer part and may comprise a bearing surface at the end of the outer part in which the inner part is received and the second abutment may comprise a bearing block secured at the end of the outer part. If desired, stop means may be provided between the first and second abutments to prevent inadvertent transverse movement of the cam.
- the cam means includes a second eccentric cam, the first mentioned cam and the second cam being located on opposite sides of the support, the part having the first and second abutments having further abutments with which the second cam can be engaged, the first and second cams being of identical profile and being movable integrally.
- the first and second cams may each comprise one leg of a U-shaped stirrup to which the lever is connected, the axle being insertable in aligned bores in the cams through a selected aligned opening in the part in which the series of openings are provided.
- the first abutment may lie more closely to the longitudinal axis of the support whilst on the other side of the support the second abutment may lie more closely to the longitudinal axis of the support.
- neither the first or second set distance is greater than 25mm for a 60° rotation of the cam or cams.
- the foot on which the support rests may comprise the bottom surface of the outer end of the part on which it is provided, but preferably comprises a plate secured to the bottom surface, the plate being of larger cross-sectional area than the support to spread the load transmitted through the support to the ground.
- the inner and outer parts may both be of square cross-section, although one or both of the inner and outer parts could be round or of any other desired cross-sectional configuration.
- the support according to the first aspect of the invention enables a novel method of adjusting the height of a structure above the ground to be carried out, and thus it is another object of the invention to provide a new or improved adjustment method.
- a method of adjusting the height of a structure above the ground utilising a support including the steps of inserting the axle of the cam means in one of the openings of the part in which the series of openings are provided, rotating the eccentric cam or cams using the lever, about the axle thereof with the or each cam bearing on the or the respective first abutment of the other telescoped part to cause telescoping of the parts to a selected relative position, engaging the locking means to prevent telescopic retraction of the parts, rotating the cam or cams using the lever with the or each cam bearing on the second abutment to cause further telescopic extension of the parts to a further selected relative position.
- the locking means is again then engaged to prevent telescopic retraction of the parts beyond said further relative position.
- the method may include the step of moving the cam or cams transversely after the locking means is first engaged, to bring the cam or cams to bear on the or the respective second abutment.
- a stop means is provided between the or at least one of the first and second abutment to prevent inadvertent transverse movement of the cam which bears on the abutments, if necessary, a movement of the cam may also be required, when transversely moving the cam to bear on the second abutment, to enable the cam to clear the stop means.
- the invention is particularly applicable to supporting a building structure and hence it is another object of the invention to provide a new or improved building structure when supported by a support according to the first aspect of the invention.
- the building structure may have four supports symmetrically arranged around the structure, each of the supports comprising a support in accordance with the first aspect of the invention, or the structure may have less than or more than four supports.
- a support 10 comprises an outer part 11 and an inner part 12, both parts 11 and 12 being generally square in cross-section and there being sufficient clearance between the inner and outer parts 11, 12 to permit easy sliding of the inner part within the outer part.
- the outer part 11 has means (not shown) to enable the part 11 to be secured to the building structure to be supported.
- Such means may comprise plates, welded or otherwise attached, to the outer part 11, which plates may have means to receive bolts which engage the structure.
- a foot 13 comprising a rectangular plate which, in use, spreads the load transmitted through the support to the ground.
- the bottom of part 12 could itself provide a foot.
- Afirst abutment comprising a bearing surface 14 is provided by a plate 15 secured to the bottom surface of the outer part 11.
- the plate 15 has a cut out 16 therein through which the inner part 12 slides.
- the inner part 12 has provided therein a series of openings 17, only one of which is shown in Figure 1, the openings 17 each extending right through the inner member 12 and being of substantially circular configuration. Where the inner member 12 is solid, the openings 17 would be provided as through bores, but in a preferred embodiment where the inner part 12 is provided as a box or other hollow section, the openings 17 are provided by aligned openings in opposite sides of the section.
- the openings may be provided by formations attached to or formed in or on the part 12.
- an axle 18 of a cam means 20 Received in the openings 17, as shown in Figure 1, is an axle 18 of a cam means 20, the cam means further comprising first and second extension cams 21 which each provide a leg of a U-shaped stirrup, the cams 21 extending either side of the support 10 as can best be seen in Figures 2 and 3, with the axle 18 passing through aligned bores 22 in each of the cams 20.
- the cams 21 and axle 18 are a loose fit and hence transverse movement of the cams 21 along the axle 18 a well as a rotational movement about the axle 18 is permitted.
- the cams 21 each have identical eccentric profiles 24 which as can best be seen in Figure 2, bear on the bearing surface 14 on the underside of plate 15. Hence rotation of the cams 21 about the axle 18 causes telescopic extension of the outer part 11 relative to the inner part 12 as the point of engagement of the bearing surface 14 and the eccentric cam profiles 24 varies.
- the cam profiles 24 are of such configuration that a 60° rotation of the cams 21 will cause a 25mm vertical distance of movement between the outer part 11 and inner part 12 of the support 10.
- cam profiles 24 can each be engaged with a second abutment comprising a bearing block 25 which is secured to the underside of plate 15. Again, if such position is adopted, a 60° movement of cams 21 would provide a 25mm vertical distance of movement between the outer part 11 and the inner part 12 of the support 10.
- the stirrup is secured to a lever 26 which extends upwardly, the large movement of the lever, carried out to achieve a 60° cam rotation, particularly as the lever is long, affording the operator a large mechanical advantage and hence rotation of the cams 21 is achieved without undue resistance.
- a fixing plate 23 is welded or otherwise secured to the support 10.
- a locking means comprising a pin 27 which is provided to prevent telescopic retraction of the inner part 12 relative to the outer part 11 once the inner and outer telescoped parts have been moved by rotation of the cams 21 to their relative set posi - tions.
- FIGS. 4a, 4b and 4c a plurality of the series of openings 17 can be seen. These openings are spaced apart by 50mm, i.e. a distance twice the distance of movement which can be achieved by a single rotation of the cams 21 through a full 60° when engaged with either surface 14 or block 25.
- the slots 28 and 29 each extend longitudinally of the support 10 for a distance of about 45mm. Further, the slots 28, 29 are spaced apart by a distance S of about 30mm.
- the locking pin 27 is at the upper end of the upper slot 28 and hence the load, i.s. the weight of the structure which is transmitted through the outer part 11, is transmitted to pin 27 and from pin 27 to the inner part 12 and hence to the foot 13.
- the cams 21 may be disengaged from engagement with the first abutment 14 whilst the load is supported by the re-engaged locking pin 27.
- cam means 20 can be transversely moved along axle 18 to bring each of the cams 21 into engagement with second abutments provided by the bearing blocks 25.
- spacers 31 are provided on the inner sides 32 of the cams 21.
- the cam means 20 can be released from engagement with the inner part 12 by removing the axle 18 thereof and withdrawing the U-shaped stirrup, and the cam means 20 re-engaged by inserting axle 18 through the openings in the cams 21 and through the next up opening 17 in the inner member 12.
- the inner and outer parts 11 and 12 need not be substantially square in cross-section but one or both could be of other cross- sections, e.g. round.
- cams 21 each comprising one leg of a U-shaped stirrup, if desired only one cam need be provided on one side of the support, or two cams may be provided not on a stirrup, although the described arrangement is preferred.
- any other means for locking the inner and outer parts relatively whilst adjusting the position of the cam means 20 longitudinally and/or transversely could be used.
- first and second abutments have been described as being provided by first the bearing surface 14 on the underside of a plate 15, and secondly a bearing block 25 secured to the underside of the plate 15, if desired one of the abutments could be provided by the bottom edge of the outer part 11, and the other abutment by a cut-out in that bottom edge, or by an abutment welded or otherwise secured to the outer part 11.
- the inner part 12 has been provided with the series of openings, and the cams 21 bear on the outer telescoped part.
- the cams may bear on the inner telescoped part in which case the outer telescoped part may have a series of openings to support the axle of the cam means.
- the support 10 described and the method described with the steps thereof carried out in the opposite order could be used for controlled lowering of the height of the structure.
- the invention is particularly applicable to a building structure, but could be used in supporting other structures as required.
