Definitions

  • the invention relates to an observatory, in particular an amateur observatory. Due to the growing interest in astronomical topics, the need for observatories has increased significantly, especially in the amateur field.
  • Such an observatory is disclosed, for example, by EP-A-0 152 715, in which a round substructure carries a rotating dome roof.
  • Such observatories have the disadvantage that they are associated with high manufacturing costs.
  • a dome roof control room with a diameter of 3 m is hardly affordable for many amateur astronomers, but also for smaller clubs.
  • observatories with a sliding gable roof are known.
  • Such a saddle roof starter has the disadvantage that a large section of the roof must be opened to allow the necessary all-round view from the horizon to the zenith.
  • the invention has for its object to provide an observatory that is simple and inexpensive to manufacture and still represents a fully functional observatory. This is surprisingly easily solved by the invention defined in claim 1.
  • the observatory then has a closed pavilion with at least partially flat roof sections, the pavilion comprising a device for rotating the roof and the roof being set up to open at least in sections and / or having sections made of a transparent material.
  • Such an observatory has the great advantage that it can be based on an aesthetically appealing and established design of small buildings, for example garden pavilions.
  • the rotatable roof which according to the invention is shaped like a pyramid or cone, or comprises sections of a pyramid roof or a conical roof, enables only relatively small sections of the roof to be opened in order to expose the desired view from the horizon to the zenith and weather conditions. and ensure wind protection.
  • the roof can be opened in a variety of ways.
  • the roof sections that can be opened can be designed to be removable, displaceable or foldable.
  • the roof can have the shape of a truncated pyramid or a truncated cone.
  • the top surface of the stump replaces the ridge.
  • Such a construction of the roof makes the zenith of the sky easily accessible by opening a section of the top surface.
  • a section of a first side surface of the roof which adjoins the open section of the cover surface and extends essentially to the roof edge, the view from the horizon to the zenith is provided.
  • the roof can have a gable roof section with a ridge in the middle, with a roof section adjoining the gable sides thereof, which has the shape of a section of a pyramid roof or cone roof cut perpendicular to the base, for example.
  • Such roof structures fit even better into the landscape than roofs in the shape of a truncated pyramid. If a section of a first side surface of such a roof is arranged for opening within the saddle roof section or if it comprises a transparent material, the view from the horizon to the zenith can already be provided if this section of the first side surface extends from the roof ridge to the lower roof edge. If there is no connecting or stiffening element in the ridge area, the zenith view is completely undisturbed when opening the roof.
  • the section to be opened can extend from the lower edge of the roof to the ridge of the roof, but this section can also be subdivided, the partial areas being opened separately.
  • the open roof section can thus be adapted to a specific angular range on a great circle of the sky.
  • the section to be opened on the first side surface only extends from an angle of 10, 20 or 30 degrees above the horizon to the roof ridge, this angle being measured from the base surface of the roof.
  • the opening of the respective sections of the roof can be omitted if these sections of the roof are made of a transparent material.
  • a transparent material can be glass, for example, or, depending on the application, can comprise a material which is transparent in the wavelength range under consideration, frequently the visible spectral range and the atmospheric windows in the infrared.
  • a second side surface is opened in sections, which is opposite the first and adjoins the sections to be opened described above, an opening can be created which extends beyond the zenith, as may be necessary in astronomical observations.
  • the section to be opened extends on the second side surface at an angle of 10, 20, 30 or 40 degrees beyond the zenith.
  • Additional sections of the roof made of transparent material, which are arranged adjacent to the generally narrow roof sections to be opened, can greatly improve observation, especially for laypersons or during information and teaching events.
  • the roof sections to be opened can each comprise partial areas, for example rectangular or trapezoidal, which together cover the relevant roof section. If they are hingedly attached to one of the two side lines that laterally delimit the roof section, the vertically positioned partial areas offer additional protection against wind and stray light.
  • the opened roof sections can be done with one as above described, transparent material with selected transmission be closed. This has the advantage that the transparent Material unprotected only during astronomical observations Is exposed to weather. Does the open roof section include one rectangular shape, the cost of an exemplary glass panel further degraded. Such covers allow for observations Temperatures that normally prevent such activity.
  • the roof can easily be rotated by moving this base surface.
  • the base surface in the middle has an opening in the manner of an aperture, so that the view of the sky is made accessible through the base surface when the roof sections are open or transparent.
  • the observatory includes a ceiling that extends parallel to the base, immovably flying on the walls and open in the middle, for example in the form of a stable ring, on which or on which the base is rotatably supported with bearings.
  • the load-bearing elements of the substructure in particular can be firmly connected to this open ceiling or ring.
  • Stabilization of the substructure can only be insufficiently provided by the roof.
  • the multipurpose pavilion comprises a foundation (not shown in FIG. 1) and a substructure 2 on which a pyramid-shaped roof 3 is supported.
  • this foundation can extend over the entire surface of the pavilion, be designed as a ring-shaped or polygon-shaped foundation, which is defined by the circumference of the pavilion, or only from a fixation of the supporting elements of the substructure with the Exist underground.
  • the roof is hexagonal with the corresponding number of side faces 5.
  • the interior which can be darkened is 2.6 m in diameter, which provides 10 seats.
  • the pavilion comprises a device for rotating the roof about an imaginary central axis. Sections of the roof can be opened.
  • these sections of the roof instead consist of a transparent material which allows a clear view of the sky.
  • the supporting elements of the pavilion are the wooden beams placed vertically at the corners of a hexagon, the gaps between which are filled with horizontal boards.
  • the base of the pavilion also includes a window and a door, which are each arranged between two opposite beams.
  • the pavilion is insulated in a conventional way to protect it against the cold.
  • the hexagonal roof in the middle comprises a gable roof section with a roof ridge 4, each of which is followed by a roof section on the gable ends, which has the shape of a hexagonal pyramid roof cut open perpendicular to the base.
  • the gable roof section on one side can be opened completely by opening two rectangular sections 7a, 7b.
  • the two halves 7a, 7b are each attached to the roof by means of hinges on one of the two side lines 9a, 9b, which laterally delimit the opening.
  • These two sections 7a, 7b thus together form the region of a side surface 5 (see FIG. 1) that can be folded out.
  • a second section starting from the roof ridge, which lies opposite the side surface 5, can be opened by opening the two halves 8a and 8b, so that there is a possibility of observation beyond the zenith over an entire angular range of approximately 110 degrees.
  • the ridge is not a load-bearing element or connecting element, but results purely optically the top edges of the roof surfaces to be opened.
  • the necessary rigidity the roof structure is the one on a gable roof side below the Firsts located fasteners that are arranged so deep that the zenith view remains undisturbed.
  • the ones used for observation Roof sections are divided and can therefore partially and partially can be opened continuously by roller shutter-like devices.
  • the sections to be opened are either completely removed or pushed onto other roof sections.
  • the open roof sections can be closed with glass as required.
  • the roof rests on a base 10 which extends horizontally and radially up to the walls and which has an opening 11.
  • This base in turn is supported by bearings on a ceiling 12 extending parallel to the base (FIG. 3), which also serves to stabilize the ceiling.
  • the area on which the base is supported on the ceiling is shown hatched in FIG. 2 for the sake of clarity only on the left side.
  • the ceiling has an opening 14 in the middle and is immovably attached to the walls or the beams.
  • This ceiling in the form of a ring comprises wooden elements, which together form a wooden wreath, which is firmly connected to the substructure.
  • the storage of the base on this ceiling comprises a number of roller bearings 13 which are fastened to the base and run on a recess in the ceiling or in another embodiment in a steel ring. This recess describes a circle on the ceiling.
  • safety brackets 15 are attached to the roof, which grips down around the ceiling 12 and thus prevent the roof from being lifted off.
  • To seal the space between the base and the ceiling device 16 is arranged on the edge.
  • the multi-purpose pavilion includes a drive which is operatively connected to the roof.
  • the roof is rotated manually, in another embodiment with the aid of an electric motor that moves a friction wheel that rotates the roof.
  • Position sensors are arranged on the ceiling to control the rotation of the roof.
  • a preferred embodiment of the invention comprises, like the hexagonal pavilion shown in FIG. 1 with a hexagonal roof as the building material, essentially wood. Other embodiments include stone pavilions, plastic, composite, or metal pavilions.
  • the roof is also made from fiberglass polyester.
  • the roof is additionally equipped in sections with solar cells which charge a rechargeable battery during the day, which is used in particular in the astronomical investigations as an energy source, for example for rotating the roof or tracking the telescope.
