• Figure 17 is a schematic elevational view of the same assembly.
• Figure 22 is a schematic view showing the section plane of the segment of Figure 21 obtained according to the invention.
• Figure 25 is a schematic elevational view showing the location of a sub-assembly according to the invention.
• FIG. 26 is a schematic view made in section along the line XXVI-XXVI in FIG. 25 and XXVI-XXVI in FIG. 27.
• Figure 34 is a schematic view showing the possible assembly of sub-assemblies conforming to the invention and associating two inverted pyramids, one with a square base and the other with a triangular base.
• FIG. 39 is a diagram showing the possible assembly of elements in accordance with the invention having equals only the external contours laughers, in order to create structures of various densities of matter.
• the height of the trapezoids is then determined by the dimensions of the triangles since this height must be equal to that of a triangle, considered parallel to that of the corresponding trapezoid. Since elements and sub-assemblies can be associated with those mentioned above in perpendicular planes, the height considered can determine the spacing between two layers of elements and, for example, the spacing between two walls for example.
• the subset has, in plan, the general shape of an equilateral triangle, so that its three sides 1 have the same length and that its angles 2 are all equal to 120 degrees.
• the sub-assembly does not have symmetry with respect to the plane which contains the edges 10, 11 and 12.
• the sub-assembly is therefore not indifferently reversible and this is a characteristic of the invention which provides advantages which will be explained below.
• the sides of the other small faces 4-6-8 are also located in the bisector planes Po but they make with the large base of the trapezoid an angle E of 54 degrees 44 minutes (90 degrees -35 degrees 16 minutes) and with the small base of the trapezoid an angle F of 125 degrees 16 minutes.
• the profile 15, for example made of wood, is placed on a cutting table so that its side 16 opposite the right angle 9 forms an angle 17 with the plane P1 of the cutting table 17 of 9 degrees 44 minutes, this is to say that the bisector 18 of angle 9 must make with plane P1 an angle 19 of 80 degrees 16 minutes.
• the profile 15 When the profile 15 is held in this position, it must be cut into segments by means of a cutting tool acting in a plane P2 forming an angle 20 of 30 degrees with a longitudinal vertical plane P3 of the profile 15.
• the profile 15 is cut symmetrically as just said and has, schematically, the appearance shown in Figure 5 in elevation and in Figure 6 in plan.
• FIGS. 10 to 12 we see a pyramid with a square base which results from the assembly of four triangular sub-assemblies 30 identical to that of FIGS. 7 to 9.
• the pyramid is seen from its base. This is formed by four faces 25 which extend in the same plane. Note that the neighboring 30 subsets are placed side by side, face
• FIGS. 13 to 15 we see a tetrahedron which also results from the assembly of four sub-assemblies 30 but, here, these sub-assemblies 30 have been arranged so that it is their faces 25 which are placed one against others.
• the tetrahedron is seen by a face, while in figure 14 it is seen by a vertex.
• the sides of the triangular sub-assembly have a right angle and it has been shown that if we adopt the embodiment according to which these sides are formed by segments of profiles, the section of these can be triangular or quadrangular (square or rectangular).
• Figures 21 to 38 correspond to Figures 3 to 20 and show the production of sub-assemblies according to the invention with sections no longer of triangular but quadrangular and, more precisely, square section.
• the profile 50 for example made of wood, is placed on a cutting table so that its face 250 forms an angle 52 with the plane P1 of the cutting table 52 of 54 degrees 44 minutes.
• Profile 50 must be cut along a plane P2 which makes an angle 20 of 30 degrees with respect to the plane P3. This gives the section plane shown in Figure 22.
• the angle 21 corresponding to the right angle 9 is, indeed ontcmdu, the same as that of the previous example, that is to say that it has a value of 54 degrees 44 minutes.
• This cutting plane having the shape of a rhombus, the opposite angle 210 also has a value of 54 degrees 44 minutes.
• angles 220 and 230 corresponding to angles 22 and 23 both have a value of 125 degrees 16 minutes.
• FIG. 39 the assembly of large square segments 60, of a rectangular segment 70, of medium square segments 80 and of small square segments 90 has been shown in section. It is noted that these segments have uniform external dimensions whereas their interior dimensions are different.
• FIG. 41 shows a particular embodiment of the invention according to which the sub-assemblies can have non-uniform sides, the important thing being to provide orthogonal faces over at least part of their length.
• the sub-assembly comprises three assembly parts 200 which reproduce most of the elements according to the invention. They include orthogonal faces of which only those visible 201 are those which correspond to the faces 25 of the quadrangu segments laires of Figures 21 to 38. They form two sides at an angle of 60 degrees and correspond, in a way, to the subjects of a single sub-assembly according to the invention and which one would have cut in the middle of its three sides.
• the assembly parts are joined by rigid spacers 202 which can have any length, and in particular very large, to create very large sub-assemblies.
• FIG. 42 shows a variant of this same embodiment, according to which the assembly parts 203 are complete elements according to the invention, that is to say whole equilateral triangles and, of course , with orthogonal lateral faces of which only those 204 and 205 corresponding to the faces 25 and 250 of the subsets of FIGS. 21 to 33 can be seen.
• the rigid connecting spacers have been simply mentioned by phantom lines 206 because they can be made of very varied ways: tubes, beams, rods straight or not etc.
• this line can be either material, corane the edges shown in all of Figures 1 to 42, or virtual if this edge is removed.
• Figure 43 shows a flat chamfer 207 which extends between the orthogonal faces 25 and 26 of an element, the edge 27 being only virtual since immaterial.
• FIG. 44 it is the same, but there is seen a groove 208 which increases the hollow that the only chamfer 207 leaves at the center of segments arranged against each other.
• This central recess makes it possible to provide, for example, a passage for cables, pipes and other accessories.
• FIG. 45 shows an embodiment of the invention according to which each side of a sub-assembly is formed by an angle 300 having two orthogonal wings 301 and 302 defining an edge 303.
• This angle 300 is advantageously associated with a complementary material 304 and its usefulness can come from the fact that it strengthens the rigidity or the strength of this material. This can then be chosen mainly for its aesthetic or practical characteristics independent of its purely mechanical qualities. By way of example, mention may be made of corane glass. Material 304 and aluminum or steel for angle iron 300.
• triangular section or square section Another interesting solution consists in using for each element a profile with rectangular section whose lengths of the adjacent sides are linked by the relation. Indeed, when such a profile is cut according to a 45 degree angle, the cut has a square section. It is then possible to provide assemblies of elements together in more numerous combinations since all the sides of the section being equal, these elements can correspond without preferential orientation.
• a sub-assembly according to the invention can easily receive rabbets, grooves and other retaining means for sheet materials: windows, panels, etc.
