Description
- The present invention relates to a structural node joint of the kind set forth in the preamble of
claim 1. - Such a structural node joinT is known inter alia from US Patent Specification No. 4.353.662. In the joint thus known, the access opening has a substantial size in relation to the hollow connecting member as a whole, and is closed by a relatively large cap-shaped cover, which is secured to the remainder of the connecting member by means of a through-going bolt. The substantial size of the access opening results in a considerably reduction in the mechanical strength of the connecting member, and hence of the mechanical strength of the complete joint comprising this connecting member.
- It is on this background the object of the present invention to provide a structural node joint of the kind referred to initially, in which the hollow connecting member and thus also the joint as a whole exhibits a substantially greater mechanical strength than in the known joints, and this is achieved in a structural node joint, according to the invention exhibiting the features set forth in the characterizing clause of
claim 1. The feature mentioned in item e) ofclaim 1 ensures that the access opening does not weaken the connection member more than necessary to allow the screws to be introduced into the connecting member, and the feature set forth in this claim's item f) makes it possible to close the access opening by merely screwing a plug or the like into it. - The embodiment set forth in claim 2 makes it possible to use also the closure member for attaching a rod-shaped or tubular element included in the joint. This element may e.g. be provided with or end in a threaded stub, that may be screwed into a corresponding threaded bore in the closure member. At this stage it should be noted, that while all those rod-shaped or tubular elements, that are attached to the hollow connecting member by means of the attachment screws, the heads of which abut against the inside of the connecting member, may be attached to the connecting member without being turned, as only the attachment screws are to be turned, it is on the other hand necessary to turn that threaded stub, with which the further rod-shaped or tubular element is to be attached to the closure member, relatively to the latter, and if the threaded stub is secured to or constitutes a part of the element in question, it is possible to avoid problems when assembling each joint by taking care that the access opening faces in such a direction, that a screwing-in of the element in question does not cause problems.
- The embodiment set forth in claim 3 makes it possible to introduce some attachment screws, that otherwise would be difficult to place in position. Because of the small size of the access opening in relation to the connecting member as a whole, even two or more such openings will only cause a relatively insignificant reduction of the mechanical strength of the connecting member and hence of the joint.
- The embodiment set forth in
claim 4 makes it possible that at least those attachment screws being placed in the attachment holes in question may relatively easily be introduced and tightened by using a tool introduced through the access opening in question. For tightening the remaining attachment screws it will in some cases be necessary to use articulated spanners or the like. - The embodiment set forth in
claim 5 makes it possible to keep the costs at a reasonably level, since in this case standard screws are used, which are available on the market at a moderate cost. - The embodiment set forth in claim 6 makes it possible to give all those members, with which the various rod-shaped or tubular elements are attached to the connecting member, identical shape, as when used with the attachment holes, the screw heads function in the normal manner as abutment means, whilst the screw heads securing elements facing the access openings are screwed into the threads in these openings.
- The present invention also relates to a hollow connecting member for a structural node joint according to the invention. This connecting member is of the kind set forth in the preamble of claim 7, and according to the present invention, it exhibits the features set forth in the characterizing clause of claim 6.
- Further embodiments, the effects of which are explained in more detail in the following detailed portion of the present specification, are set forth in claims 8 and 9.
- In the following, the present invention is to be explained in more detail with reference to exemplary embodiments of structural node joints according to the invention, shown partly in section in the drawing, in which
- Figure 1 shows a first exemplary embodiment, and
- Figure 2 show a second exemplary embodiment.
- The structural node joint shown in Figure 1 comprises a hollow connecting
member 1, which in the example shown is spherical, but generally may have any shape suitable for the particular application in question. In the wall 2 of the connectingmember 1 there are a number of through-goingattachment holes 3 and 4, whereas an attachement screw 7 and 8 has been inserted in the hole 3 and one of theholes 4 respectively, the heads 9 of said attachment screws being tightened up against the inside of the wall 2, theirshafts 10 being screwed into the ends of twostructural rod elements 5 and 6 respectively, of which only the ends are shown. - The
structural rod elements 5 and 6 may be contructed in any manner and from any material being suitable to the particular application in question, but they will not be described in more detail in the present application, since their construction and shape have no direct bearing upon the present invention, with the exception of what is required for the cooperation with the connectingmember 1. - Apart from the
attachment holes 3 and 4, the wall 2 has an access opening 11, which is somewhat larger than the attachment holes 3, viz. just large enough to make its clear diameter 13 a trifle larger than the largest diameter of the screwheads 9 and their associatedwashers 19, so that all those attachment screws 7 and 8, that are to be used for attaching therod elements 5 and 6, may be introduced through the access opening 11 and be placed in theattachment holes 3 and 4 and screwed into the ends of therod elements 5 and 6 respectively using suitable tools (not shown). - If no structural rod element or other member is to be attached to the side of the connecting
member 1 having the access opening 11, the latter may be closed by a threaded plug (not shown), that is screwed into thethread 14 in theopening 11, but in the exemplary embodiment shown in Figure 1 theaccess opening 11 has screwed into it a closure bushing 12 with anexternal thread 15 corresponding to thethread 14 in theopening 11. The ball in the closure bushing 12 has a thread 20 cooperating with a corresponding thread 21 on a threadedstub 22, the latter constituting part of or being secured to a furtherstructural rod element 16. The optimal strength of this part of the joint is achieved if the threadedstub 22 is non-rotatably secured to or constitutes a part of therod element 16, but in that case it is necessary to turn the latter when the threadedstub 22 is to be screwed into theclosure bush 12 until anabutment surface 17 on the end of therod element 16 abuts against the outside of the connectingmember 1. With sensible planning of the way, in which the grid structure or space grid structure is to be assembled, this will, however, not cause any problems, as the hollow connectingmember 1 is placed in each joint with access opening 11 facing in a direction away from the rod elements already attached. - What has previously been said with regard to the
structural rod elements 5 and 6 and their construction and material will, of course, apply to a corresponding extent for the furtherstructural rod element 16. - The attachment screws 7 and 8 shown in Figure 1 have
hexagonal recesses 18 for cooperation with a correspondingly hexagonal spanner. The screws may e.g. be of the kind marketed under the trade mark "Unbrako", and the use of these or other standard screws results in the advantage that the joint may be based on the use of ready-made, possibly heat-treated and/or corrosion-protected screws, that would be relatively costly to produce in small numbers, with the exception of the possible attachment of a furtherstructural rod element 16 to one oremore closure bushes 12. - In order to distribute the abutment force between the screw heads 9 and the inside of the wall 2,
spherical washers 19 are placed between these parts in a manner known per se. - The attachment screw 7 extending through the
attachment hole 4 to the right in Figure 1 may be introduced through the access opening 11 relatively easily, before this opening is closed by the closure bushing 12, e.g. by using a straight hexagonal spanner, which can also be used for tightening the screw. When further attachment screws, e.g. the screw 8, that are not to be aligned with any access opening, are to be placed, the introduction of each screw may require the use of special tools (not shown), while the tightening in many cases may be achieved by introducing a straight hexagonal spanner through an oppositely situated attachment hole. In other cases it will be necessary to use a hexagonal spanner with an articulated shaft when tightening the attachment screws. - For the sake of good order it should be noted, that apart from the
attachment holes 3 and 4 and the access opening 11 shown, all being intersected by the sectional plane of the drawing, the connectingmember 1 may comprise further attachment holes and possibly also one or more further access openings in front and behind the sectional plane. - As material for the connecting
member 1 proper, steel of a strength suited to the particular application may suitably be used. Before the last opening - normally the access opening 11 - is closed completely, a suitable rust-protecting agent may be introduced or injected into the cavity in the connectingmember 1. - The exemplary embodiment shown in Figure 2 has many features in common with the embodiment shown in Figure 1, for which reason only those features, by which the former differs from the latter, will be mentioned below with reference to Figure 2.
- In the structural node joint in Figure 2, all
structural rod elements member 1 by means of uniformlyshaped attachment screws 23, 24 and 25 respectively, the heads 27 of which have an external thread 27 able to fit with theinternal thread 14 in the access opening 11. Even if theexternal diameter 28 on the heads 26 is larger than theclear diameter 13 in theopening 11, it is therefor possible to introduce the screws in the connecting member, as they may be introduced into theopening 11 with their shafts directed inwardly, whereupon the heads 26 are simply screwed through theopening 11 until they are screwed free on the inside and may be placed in theattachment hole 3 or 4 in question and screwed into therod elements 5 or 6, the screws for this purpose being provided with ahexagonal head 29 or - in an embodiment not shown - with a hexagonal recess of a kind similar to therecess 18 shown in Figure 1. - The
screw 25 securing therod element 16 may in the manner shown be provided with anannular spacer 30, that ensures that the thread engagement between the head 26 and theopening 11 is situated suitably far into the latter. Therod element 16 is attached by simply first screwing thescrew 25 into the rod, preferably with theannular spacer 30 in place as shown in Figure 2, whereupon the unit consisting of therod element 16 and thescrew 25 and possibly thespacer 30 is screwed into theopening 11 until theabutment surface 17 abuts against the outside of the wall 2. - In cases where the dimensioning will permit, central ducts my be formed in the
rod elements
