Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a canopy structure of the type comprising a substantially planar canopy supported on uprights mounted on a forecourt.
  • Such canopy structures are well known particularly for areas such as large shopping malls and the retail petroleum industry. Usually such canopy structures are mounted over so-called islands on which fuel pumps are installed. Service stations are regularly being rebuilt, refurbished or new service stations are being opened, all of which require the installation of a canopy structure.
  • the manner in which they are usually erected is that firstly there is prior preparation on site of foundations by a building or civil works contractors who, in the course of carrying out the work, usually lay concrete pads and into these concrete pads, they mount by some means, four or more holding down bolts or other base onto which the uprights of the canopy structure can be affixed.
  • the steel structure forming part of the canopy structure
  • the uprights are first erected and then the canopy is erected on top of the structure.
  • the building or civil works contractors have to return to the site to complete finishing off the forecourt. This method of construction delays the completion of the works.
  • the first contractors on site get some of the civil engineering works done, then the steel and mechanical services contractors arrive on site and then there is further work from the civil engineering contractors followed then again sometimes by further mechanical engineering service contracting work.
  • the present invention is directed towards overcoming these and other problems by producing a canopy structure that will reduce the erection time on site and that further, will go some way to avoiding the problems for the civil engineering contractors.
  • a canopy structure of the type comprising a substantially planar canopy supported on uprights mounted on a forecourt, characterised in that there is a provided a foundation assembly comprising a framework having a plurality of sockets for reception of the appropriate uprights.
  • each socket is mounted in a pre-formed concrete block which is incorporated in the framework.
  • the advantage of this is when the concrete block is secured in position it also serves to add structural rigidity to the structure.
  • each socket is mounted in an open-mouthed box-like container having base supports for equipment, said box-like container forming part of the framework, the socket includes upright socket walls housing inwardly directed and length adjustable upright aligning members.
  • housed within the box-like container may be the base plate for mounting the petrol pumps, thus aligning the sockets and base plates simultaneously.
  • each aligning member comprises an adjusting screw with its head inside the socket and engaging a threaded nut mounted in the socket wall behind which an enclosed adjusting screw receiving pocket projects outwardly of the socket for reception of the screw.
  • the upright aligning members comprise bolts inclined from a position above the top of the socket to engage at an angle a threaded hole in the socket wall and each socket includes a base having an upwardly projecting locator for engaging an exposed end of the upright, and the locator comprises a bar having a frusto-conical portion tapering towards a free end and the upright comprises a flat plate having a locator engaging hole on its exposed socket engaging end.
  • the framework is connected together by a plurality of releasable connectors.
  • planar canopy is formed from at least one prefabricated substantially rectangular canopy panel comprising:-
  • the advantage of this is that the modular construction allows it to be assembled quickly and also eases transportation to the site.
  • the in-fill cladding comprises a plurality of cladding panels each cladding panel comprising:-
  • each upstanding leg is turned in on itself adjacent its free end to form an inwardly projecting lip and in which one upstanding leg is turned in on itself adjacent its free end to form an inwardly projecting lip and the other is turned outwardly to form an outwardly projecting lip, the lips of adjacent panels contracting.
  • a method of erecting a canopy structure which comprises the steps of:
  • the advantage of this is that the structure can be erected very quickly once the framework is accurately positioned.
  • the upright is secured within the socket by a grouting material and preferably the grouting material is a cementitious material and ideally the grouting material is an elastic material.
  • the additional step is performed of using the locator to mount the uprights in their correct relative orientation.
  • planar canopy is formed from at least one canopy panel and in which the canopy is placed in position by connecting each structural cantilever arm to an upright.
  • a canopy structure according to the present invention of the type comprising a substantially planar canopy supported on uprights characterised in that the planar canopy is formed from at least one prefabricated substantially rectangular canopy panel comprises:
  • the in-fill cladding comprises a plurality of cladding panels, each cladding panel comprising:-
  • each upstanding leg is turned in on itself adjacent its free end to form an inwardly projecting lip.
  • one upstanding leg is turned in on itself adjacent its free end to form an inwardly projecting lip and the other is turned outwardly to form an outwardly projecting lip, the lips of adjacent panels overlapping.
  • a canopy structure in which the upright has, mounted thereon, a structural member forming a tee piece for the support of a canopy panel on each side thereof and in which each structural member is a rolled steel joist (RSJ) and butting structural members have end connector plates for inter-connection.
  • RSJ rolled steel joist
  • the portion of the canopy between the canopy panels is covered with a translucent cladding panel.
  • the canopy structure 1 comprises a substantially planar canopy indicated generally by the reference numeral 2, formed from a number of modular panels, namely, prefabricated substantially rectangular canopy panels 3 which canopy panels 3 will be described in more detail later.
  • the canopy panels 3 are mounted on uprights 4 which in turn are mounted within a foundation assembly, indicated generally by the reference numeral 5.
  • a forecourt is identified by the reference numeral 6 and incorporates a number of islands 7 on which are installed petrol pumps 8.
  • the foundation assembly 5 comprises a plurality of sockets 10 connected together by frame members 11, in this case, lengths of angle iron.
  • Each socket 10 is of substantially square section having upstanding side walls 15 mounted on a base 16.
  • the base 16 carries an upwardly projecting locator 18 having a frustro conical free end 19.
  • the socket 10 also includes four aligning members, indicated generally by the reference numeral 20.
  • Each aligning member 20 is formed from a screw 21 engaging a nut 22 and having its head 23 within the socket 10. Behind the nut 22, there is a screw receiving pocket 24.
  • Each upright 4 comprises a hollow square sectioned post having side walls 25 and a base plate 26 incorporating a locator hole 27.
  • the side wall 25 also has a hole 28 for reception of a water drain pipe 29, portion of which is illustrated in Fig. 6.
  • each upright 4 is placed in a socket 10 so that the locator 18 engages the locator hole 26 in the upright 4 and the aligning members 20 are used to mount the upright 4 vertical. This can be relatively easily achieved by screwing in and out the adjusting screws 21. A suitable cementitious grouting is then poured into the socket 10. Only a final finishing around the base of each upright is required, for example, by bolting down an upright embracing collar, previously loosely carried by the upright, tiling, etc. When the uprights have been placed in position, then the canopy panels 3 are erected as will be described later.
  • Figs. 10 and 11 illustrated an alternative construction of socket forming part of the foundation assembly 5 which socket is indicated generally by the reference numeral 30 and is of cylindrical shape for a circular upright or canopy pillar 31.
  • Fig. 12 there is illustrated a still further construction of socket 35 having an aligning member, indicated generally by the reference numeral 40, which aligning member comprises a downwardly inclined adjusting screw 41 which projects above the level of the forecourt and thus above the socket 35.
  • aligning member comprises a downwardly inclined adjusting screw 41 which projects above the level of the forecourt and thus above the socket 35.
  • a suitable cover or some form of parting oil that will ensure that it is not contaminated by the concrete.
  • the space between the socket 10 and the upright 4 is again filled with a suitable grouting material which will usually be concrete.
  • the grouting material could be any other suitable grouting material and indeed, could include steel wedges or the like. However, the latter will not generally be necessary.
  • Other grouting materials are envisaged such as, for example, any elastic,material which could help to dampen vibrations.
  • the upright In use, once the upright 4 has been correctly located, the upright can be grouted into the socket 35 and then the inclined screws 41 can be removed.
  • Figs. 13 to 15 inclusive there is illustrated an alternative construction of foundation assembly, indicated generally by the reference numeral 45 in which parts similar to those described with reference to the previous drawings are identified by the same reference numerals.
  • the sockets 10 are mounted within preformed concrete blocks 46 which are interconnected again by angle irons 11.
  • the angle irons 11 are bolted at 47 to each block 46.
  • FIG. 16 there is illustrated an open-mounted box-like container, indicated generally by the reference number 50 in which is mounted a socket 10, which socket 10 is as described above and again, parts similar to those described with reference to the previous drawings and identified by the same reference numerals.
  • the box-like container 50 has suitable holes 51 for supply of services thereto or, for example, for drainage pipes.
  • a base plate 52 mounted within the container 50 is mounted within the container 50.
  • a petrol pump 8 mounted within the container 50. It will be appreciated that when the uprights and petrol pumps have been mounted in position, the box-like container can be filled with concrete to further provide rigidity to the canopy structure.
  • FIGs. 17 to 25 inclusive there is illustrated another construction of canopy structure, indicated generally by the reference numeral 60 in which parts similar to those described with reference to the previous drawings are identified by the same reference numerals.
  • the foundation assembly 5 is identical to the foundation assembly 5 previously described as are the uprights 4.
  • a rolled steel joist (RSJ) 61 forming, with the upright 4, a tee piece.
  • a mounting plate 62 for connection to canopy panels, indicated generally by the reference numeral 65.
  • each canopy panel 65 comprises a pair of structure cantilever arms 66 formed from RSJ and mounting a connector plate 67.
  • External fascia plates 68 form a rectangular frame and mounted between the fascia plates 68 is in-fill cladding which comprises a plurality of cladding panels 70 (see Fig. 20), each comprising a base 71 and a pair of upstanding legs 72 which have inwardly directed lips 73.
  • the cladding panels 70 are secured together by suitable connectors with the base 71 forming a canopy panel soffit.
  • each cladding panel 70 is spaced-apart from the innermost fascia plate so as to form a drain into the fascia plate 68.
  • the connector plate 67 has a hole 75 to allow water to drain from the fascia plate 68 onto a plate 76 beneath the RSJ 61. Water then will fall from the plate 76 down into a hole 78 in the upright 4.
  • the uprights 4 are brought onto site with the RSJ 61, plates 62 and plates 76 all in position and they are mounted in the sockets 10 as described above. Then, the canopy panels 65 are lifted and the plates 67 are aligned with the plates 62 and they are bolted together. Thus, the canopy panel 65 can be quickly erected. Finally, a suitable translucent cover 77 is mounted between the canopy panels 65.
  • Figs. 26 and 27 there is illustrated an alternative construction of canopy structure, indicated generally by the reference numeral 80. Again, parts similar to those described with reference to the previous drawings, are identified by the same reference numerals.
  • the upright 4 instead of providing a translucent area by the use of translucent panels, the upright 4 has, mounted thereon, a canopy panel 82, by a flanged plate 81.
  • Each canopy panel 82 comprise a pair of spaced-apart cantilever arms 83 carrying end plates 84 surrounded by suitable fascia plates 85 which form a framework within which is mounted purlins 86 and roof cladding 87 and ceiling cladding 88. Drainage piping 89 and guttering 90 are also illustrated. All of this is conventional except for the composite modular nature of the canopy panels 82.
  • a canopy panel 82 is placed on the upright 4 and bolted into position. Then the other canopy panels 82 are offered up to the canopy panel 82 on the upright 4 and the end plates 84 are used to connect the cantilever arm 83 together.
  • this does not delay the erection very much as it is only a few panels at most that have to be removed or more likely not pre-fitted. The manner of erection will be easily appreciated and does not require any further description.
  • the foundation assembly can be delivered to the site as a number of units and assembled on site prior to incorporation in the forecourt foundation.
  • the cladding panels may be made so that one upstanding leg is turned in on itself forming an inwardly projecting lip and the other is turned outwardly to form an outwardly projecting lip so that the lips of adjacent panels when contacting and overlap.
