Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a pressure rod, that is an element for receiving the pressure forces in a pneumatic component, and a device for its attachment according to the preamble of claim 1.
  • the pressure rod is made of several parts for practical reasons, with the individual parts or sections are usually nach- or successively inserted into suitably shaped pockets on the pneumatic component. Since these individual sections only absorb and transmit compressive forces, it is perfectly sufficient to simply stack them in a butt-jointed manner.
  • the forces to be absorbed by the pressure rods can be considerable. This requires that the compressive forces are transmitted over as much of the entire cross-sectional area from one section of the push rod to the other. However, this is only the case if the said pockets are made very accurately, and is extremely carefully when inserting the rod parts or - sections. This in turn increases the cost of manufacturing the pneumatic components and slows down the assembly on site. Furthermore, it is possible that, despite great accuracy in manufacturing and care in the construction, resulting by example, wind-induced movements of the pneumatic components with time mutual shifts of the sections, which are detrimental to the quality of the components.
  • the pressure rods are basically inserted in said pockets. Fixation points for technical equipment and devices are usually associated with injury to the pockets and associated with additional effort.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a pressure rod which does not have the disadvantages mentioned and also provides the opportunity to create accessible attachment points for facilities and apparatus of energy and building services.
  • Fig. 1a, b refer to the state of the art.
  • Fig. 1a is a pneumatic component 1 in side view and consists of a cylindrical hollow body 2, on which a pressure rod 3 is placed. At the ends of the push rod 3, this is firmly connected to two drawstrings 4, which are tensioned in opposite sense of rotation around the hollow body are there and tight there. In the terminology of structural engineering, these attachment points of the drawstrings are called 4 knots 5. According to the technique, the push rod 3 is inserted into pockets 6, which are attached to the hollow body by welding, gluing or sewing.
  • the hollow body 2 has two caps 18 which close it to the outside, and preferably consists of a low-stretch fabric and is either made airtight - for example, with a PVC coating - or is only tensile but not airtight envelope for an inserted gas hose an elastic plastic. If the hollow body 2 is to be airtight, then the seams of the pockets 6 are to be sealed after sewing.
  • Fig. 1b shows a cross section AA through the pneumatic component 1 in a somewhat larger scale.
  • the drawstrings 4 can possibly be guided in tabs 7 in order to fix their position in the flaccid state of the component 1.
  • Fig. 2a, b Now shows a first embodiment of the inventive pressure rod 3 in a cross section, in Fig. 2a alone, in Fig. 2b
  • the pressure rod 3 has over its entire length a groove 8, which - in cross-section - has a narrow neck 9 and an approximately circular expansion 10.
  • the material of the bag 6 can be inverted into the still empty groove 8; To fix it therein, a over the entire length of the push rod 3 extending clamping element 11 is retracted.
  • This can consist of a round rod made of, for example, aluminum or plastic, or also of a textile round cord.
  • the pocket 6 is fastened on the material of the hollow body 2 in such a way that it lies so loosely in the slack state of the hollow body 2 that the tensile stress in the envelope of the hollow body 2 in the region of the pressure rod 3 runs over the material of the pocket 6.
  • the shell of the hollow body 2 is designed to be airtight, or in the shell of the hollow body of an elastic plastic existing gas hose 12 is inserted.
  • a second embodiment of the inventive pressure rod 3 is shown, together with parts of the hollow body 2.
  • the push rod 3 is here designed so that it has two grooves 8, which are opposed to each other in mirror image.
  • the push rod 3 according Fig. 3 can two pneumatic components 1 according Fig. 1 be coupled.
  • the pneumatic component 1 is designed in such a way that it has a pressure rod 3 along two generatrices which are azimuthally offset by 180.degree. - each provided with two tension bands 4, then the pressure rod 3 can be used Fig. 3 Arrange any number of pneumatic components 1, for example, to form a roof surface.
  • Fig. 4 is a development of the push rod 3 according Fig. 3 shown.
  • the push rod 3 also has two grooves 8.
  • its cross section is larger than that of the embodiment according to Fig. 3
  • two bores 13 extending along the pressure rod 3 are provided. These are intended to carry fluids, such as water and / or compressed air.
  • two quick-release closures 14 are shown, which are placed on holes 15 which are mounted transversely to the longitudinal bores 13, and make it possible to supply water and compressed air consumers, which are provided under a roof mentioned above.
  • the said quick-release closures 14 are coded so that they can only be used either for water or for compressed air, as corresponds to the state of the art.
  • a plurality of sections of push rods 3 butt stumped so are located between the individual sections connecting elements also according to the quick release principle, as in Fig. 5 is shown in a side view.
  • an intermediate piece 16 is arranged, which responds resiliently on the one hand to longitudinal load, on the other hand is flexible to bending, so that the quick-release fasteners 14 seen statically are undetermined, and no appreciable bending and
  • inventive pressure rod 3 is such for the connection of four pneumatic components 1 in Fig. 6 shown schematically. He wears, according to its purpose, in cross section four arms 17, at the ends of the described grooves 8 are arranged. Of course, one or more arms 17 can again turn to receive supply lines according to the Fig. 6 Design and equip what has been said.
  • the push rod 3 may also have a different number of arms 17, such as three or six.
