Definitions

  • Spacial structures that comprise a number of sections whose ends are joined to a number of knuckles to make reticular spacial structures are known.
  • spacial structure whose knuckles are comprised of solid balls to which tubular sections are joined is known.
  • the spacial structure whose knuckles are comprised of two spherical shells joined together by means of external fins is also known.
  • the spacial structure covered by this invention which is comprised of equidistantly positioned knuckles, an assembly of sections and means.for joining these sections at each end to said knuckles, is peculiar because it is made up from:
  • the second base piece possesses a bent perimeter area facing the bent area on the first base piece, making a joining area.
  • the means of linkage between the first base piece and the second base piece comprise a strength member in internal contact with the poles of both spherical shells, and means for tightening the strength member up against the poles.
  • the means for tighte- nin g comprise a stud which running through the middle of the strength member, goes through both spherical shells, and has a stop on one end, and a thread for tightening on the other.
  • one of the base pieces possesses protrusions which engage inside grooves provided for the purpose in the joining area upon the other base piece.
  • the single-piece element in revolution has at least one side surface which is shaped like a conical frustrum.
  • the knuckle is comprised of two base pieces (1) and (2).
  • base piece (1) is larger than base piece (2), giving an asymmetrical joint, but it is perfectly fea sible for both pieces to be practically alike.
  • the outside shape of the two base pieces is that of a spherical shell in order that its external form in the coupling is approximately a sphere.
  • Holes (3) provided upon each of the spherical shells are equidistantly positioned with respect to one another, and there is an angle a l between the adjoining edges of the different spherical shells when they lie together. (See Figure 3).
  • Said angles a l can be altered for each knuckle and each different structure.
  • the first base piece (1) possesses a perimeter area (12) which is bent upon itself and is provided with open holes (13) which are preferably threaded.
  • Said holes (13) form part of the joint between the two base pieces (1) and (2).
  • the other base piece (2) possesses in turn a lip (21) into which engages the lip (12) provided on base piece (1).
  • lip (21) is shown as engaging externally with lip (12), but'the invention also includes the idea wherewith lip (21) is given a similar shape to lip (12), so that the two can engage together by means of protrusions like those depicted in Figure 4.
  • Base piece (2) is provided with slots (21 bis) which facilitate the engagement and joining with sections (6).
  • Base piece (2) is furthermore provided opposite the holes (13) on base piece (1), with open holes (13 bis), and joining screw (5) is housed in said holes (13) and (13 bis).
  • Base piece (2) is moreover provided with protrusions (30) which engage in slots (31) arranged in base piece (1) (See Figure 4), although it is more logical to think of the reverse construction.
  • a strength member (7) which may be a tubular section one of whose ends abuts against the inside of poles (11) and (22).
  • a stud (71) is provided inside said tube (7), whose head (23) abuts against pole (22), and by means of nut (4), it abuts under pressure against pole (11), thus helping to secure base pieces (1) and (2) against one another.
  • Figure 5 shows a single-piece element (16) in revolution (16) which is weld (15) attached to tubular section (6).
  • Said single-piece element (16) possesses a conical frustrum side surface in order for it to suit different diameters of tube (6).
  • the tightening screw (20) possesses a head (8) which, either directly or by means of a widened area (9) or an additional member such as a washer having the same shape, is offered to the inside surface of base piece (1), (2).
  • the contact face of the widened area (9) is spherical so as to facilitate contact.
  • the single-piece element (16) possesses a face (10) which is offered to the outside face of the same base piece (1), (2), and said contact face is spherical as well for the reasons given.
  • Screw (20) and single-piece element (16) are threaded together in engagement, thus accomplishing the joint between tubular section (6) and base piece (1), (2).
  • the desig can also be such that the side surface (14') adjacent to the joining face (10) is shaped as a conical frustrum, thus preventing said contact face (10) from needing to be excessively large.
  • the joining means comprised (a) of the strength member (8) with its stud (71) and fittings, and (b) of screw (5) in the engagement area, can be used either individually or together, and the presence of protrusions (30) is always optional.
