  • the support sole (19) is arranged to cooperate with members for anchoring to the ground; ballasting is no longer necessary.
  • the upper ends of the flanges (1) are closed and converge in a tangent manner towards the common coupling member (0).
  • This coupling member is shaped and arranged to allow simultaneous inflation of the tubes (1) and their attachment. It allows the various elements (1) to be brought together at the top of the structure so that, after simultaneous inflation of each of said elements, in combination with the anchoring and / or ballasting means on the ground, the structure is automatically put in place. form.
  • the central tube (22) has, in a staged manner, concentric discs (22c) for hooking the ends of each of the tubes.
  • each disc is pierced with as many holes as there are flanges constituting the structure to allow the attachment of the textile straps (27) fixed by sewing or otherwise at the end of an open open skirt (28) at the end of the tubes by being fixed there by welding or otherwise ( Figure 11).
  • the central connection and inflation tube (22) has a base (29) capable of bearing on the ground in the deflated position of the structure, to impart a certain vertical stability to said tube by acting as a base.
  • fasteners (A) and (B) which cooperate with arrangements formed in the upper part and in the lower part, of the tube (22).
  • these fasteners (A) and (B) are joined to hooking parts which have on the one hand, the base (29) and, on the other hand, a crown (31) mounted in elevation of the upper part of the connection and inflation element (22). Note that the fasteners (A) and (B) do not contribute to the rigidity of the assembly.
  • the upper ends (ld) of the elements (1), after inflation, are positioned very substantially vertically, converging tangentially in the direction of the member (0).
  • each of the ends (ld) and (le) of the tubes is closed in a sealed manner and receives by welding or otherwise a sheath (2-3).
  • the sheath (2), on the side of the end (le), cooperates with means for anchoring to the ground, while the sheath (3), on the side of the end (ld), cooperates with means of coupling to the central fixing member (0).
  • the sheaths (2) and (3) can be made in the same material as that constituting the elements (1).
  • Straps (4) are engaged in the sheaths (2) for on the one hand, bracing the base of the elements (1) and, on the other hand, coo pererate with means (5) for anchoring to the ground or any other ballasting means.
  • the tension of the straps (4) can be operated by tensioners.
  • the member (O) is a tube (6) whose height is very substantially equal to the length of the vertical sheaths (3) of the elements (1).
  • Straps (7) are engaged in the sheaths (3) and are hooked at each end of the tube (6) for fixing the elements (1).
  • the tube (6) can be surmounted by a ventilation and sealing cap (C).
  • the member (O) consists of several superimposed rings (8) braced by vertical rods (9).
  • the elements (1) can then be fixed by appropriate means such as hooks (10) cooperating with the rings (8) and or the rods (9).
  • the hooks (10) are fixed in the vertical sheaths (3) or directly at the end of the ends (ld) ( Figure 4).
  • a protective fabric (13) seals the structure and protects the inflatable elements (1) by being directly positioned and stretched under the inflation effect of the tubes (1).
  • the fabric (13) is fixed in the central part of the structure, in combination with the member (O), along the length of the elements (1) and is held in combination or not with bracing straps ( 12). Its lower peripheral edge can be hung on arrangements formed at the base of the elements (1), for example on the ground support soles (19).
  • the fabric (13) is, in a known manner, equipped with different exits (13a) whose closing and opening can be carried out at will by the components of a self-gripping fastening system for example, without therefore exclude other systems.
  • Shells (15) or other structures can completely envelop the base of each of the inflatable elements (1), to ensure over a suitable height, the protection of the elements.
  • These shells are made of any material or shaped material to avoid deliberate or accidental damage.
  • they can be made of reinforced polyester or woven rubber.
  • the protective elements (15) can be in one or more parts.
  • the structure according to the invention is controlled by a regulation system to compensate for pressure variations, in particular under the effect of the sun's rays which strike said structure.
  • a ventilation group automatically compensates for any pressure shortages (regulation between two predetermined thresholds) while a safety valve limits the maximum pressure to an admissible value.
  • Inflation valves serve as air intake to raise the structure and keep it in pressure.
  • High pressure centrifugal fans are designed to propel a large volume of air in a very short time, at the pressure necessary for the structure. There is a holding fan plus a safety one. The fans switch on automatically as soon as the pressure becomes too low.
  • the independent elements (1) are inflated simultaneously by being subject to a very substantially identical length of pipe connecting each of the elements.
  • the tube (22) allows both the attachment of the tubes (l) and their simultaneous inflation.
  • the lower end (22a) is arranged to receive a flexible pipe (23) connected to the air supply device of the structure.
  • the tube (22) is pierced peripherally with a plurality of radial holes (22b) equipped with end pieces (24) capable of receiving hoses (25) for the air supply of each of the tubes (1 ), separately for their simultaneous inflation.
  • Each hose (25) is connected to the corresponding tube which has, at its upper end, a valve (26). These hoses (25) are of small diameter to limit the leakage rate during a possible incident.
  • the connecting member is arranged in the center, so that the various inflatable elements (1) coupled to said member, extend radially, very substantially constituting a hemisphere.
  • two coupling and inflation members (22) as described and defined above can be brought together by an inflatable common element (30), said members receiving, as indicated, on only part of the periphery, the flanges ( 1) at the base of the structure (figure 13).
  • any number of coupling and inflation members are joined together by a common inflatable element, each member receiving the base tubes (1) suitably distributed. It is also possible to obtain asymmetrical shapes.
  • the common inflatable connection element (s) (30) are assembled to the vertical coupling tubes (22) in the same way as the tubes (1) and are supplied with air simultaneously with the said tubes, with a branch at each of their ends .
  • the assembly of the structure is very fast, can be carried out by anyone without any particular qualification.
  • the soles (19) on the ground on which the flanges (1) are permanently fixed.
  • the soles are regularly distributed over a circumference of determined radius.
  • the ends of each of the tubes are then joined to the arrangements (22c) of the inflation and coupling tube (22) which is stabilized vertically on the ground by its base (29) which acts as a base.
  • the air is sent by the supply pipe (23) into the central tube (22) to be regularly distributed simultaneously in each of the tubes for inflation and concomitantly with their automatic elevation for the shaping of the structure.
  • the support soles (19) can cooperate in a dismountable manner with rolling means to facilitate their positioning on the ground.
  • the diameter, pressure, number and distribution of the inflatable elements are calculated according to the characteristics of the base material and according to the size of the desired structure, its operating conditions and the climatic conditions of the site.
  • the elements (1) can be of different dimensions and have different bends given by the profiled cutouts of the ends of the sections.
  • the connecting member (0) whatever its embodiment (cylindrical or other) can be eccentric relative to the base surface of the structure.
