Definitions

  • the invention relates to a supporting element for at least one rod of a rod assembly for exerting forces on a construction, wherein the supporting element comprises: a body which is provided with at least one partially spherical cavity for receiving a pivot and which has at least one support surface which is adapted to contact the construction, and at least one pivot which is connected to a coupling and which is adapted for coupling to the rod.
  • Such a supporting element is known from NL-A-9202239.
  • Such a prior art supporting element is only suitable for exerting on a construction a force originating from only one rod. This means in practice that the rod must extend transversely of the surface on which the force must be exerted, or that a combination of different supporting elements must be made in order to be able to work with a plurality of rods, as is usually the case in practice.
  • the assembly of a combination of such supporting elements requires joining together two or more such supporting elements. This involves the danger of relative shifting of the supporting elements, which can cause unstable and therefore hazardous situations. Constructing a ' rod assembly with such separate supporting elements is furthermore difficult; separate supporting elements must often be held fast in positions which are difficult to access before the above stated supporting element is fixed by co- action with other supporting elements of the same group.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide such a supporting element which does not result in these drawbacks.
  • This object is achieved in that the body is provided with at least one second cavity for a second pivot, and that the device comprises a second pivot which is adapted for coupling to a second rod of the rod assembly.
  • this supporting element it is thus possible with this supporting element to exert a resultant force on a surface of the construction by means of two rods .
  • Such a supporting element is for instance suitable for placing in a corner between two surfaces of the construction. This is particularly attractive when the body comprises at least one second support surface adapted to contact the construction.
  • the supporting element can be placed with both support surfaces in a corner of the construction, wherein the two rods exert a resultant force on the supporting element.
  • a more recommended embodiment is however provided with a third cavity for a third pivot, wherein the device comprises a third pivot which is adapted for coupling to a third rod of the rod assembly.
  • the device comprises a third pivot which is adapted for coupling to a third rod of the rod assembly.
  • a field of application for this embodiment lies for instance in the temporary repair of openings in a ship's side.
  • An opening in a ship's side resulting from for instance a collision or from acts of war has to be sealed quickly in order to prevent flooding of the compartment of the ship situated behind the opening and the associated instability of the ship .
  • Use can herein be made of the invention, for instance to temporarily fix against such an opening a plate which seals the opening.
  • Use can be made for this purpose of a rod assembly which is adapted by means of a number of supporting elements according to the invention to exert a force which extends substantially perpendicularly of the surface of the sealing plate and with which the plate is pressed against the opening.
  • Use can also be made of such supporting elements to support the rod assembly against the other walls or possible structural components of the compartment in question.
  • a further embodiment provides the measure that the body is formed to limit the angular deflection of the pivots to positions in which a stable situation of the rod assembly can be obtained. Potentially unstable, and thus unsafe, situations are hereby avoided.
  • the outer pivots are rotatable between a position in which the axis connected to the relevant pivot extends parallel to the support surface and a position in which the axis extends perpendicularly of the support surface; and between a position in which the axis extends parallel to the connecting line between the centre of the pivots and a position in which the axis extends at a perpendicular angle between the connecting axis and parallel to the support surface; and that the inner pivot is rotatable between a position in which the axis connected to the pivot extends parallel to the support surface and a position in which the axis extends perpendicularly of the support surface; and between two positions extending at an angle of 6 ⁇ D on either side of the central perpendicular plane of the outer pivots .
  • each of the outer pivots can extend within a segment of a sphere, which segment of a sphere corresponds to 1/8 of a sphere.
  • the axis of the central pivot can extend within a segment of a sphere corresponding to about 1/6 of a sphere.
  • the rods are generally used to exert pressure forces. In some situations it is useful to transmit tensile forces.
  • figure 1 is a perspective view of a supporting element according to the present invention
  • figure 2 is a perspective view from another angular position of the supporting element shown in figure 1
  • figure 3 is a schematic view of the angles at which the rods mounted on the supporting element can move
  • figure 4 shows a detail view of figure 3
  • figure 5 is a schematic perspective view of a space in which is placed a rod assembly provided with supporting elements according to the present invention.
  • FIG. 1 shows a supporting element according to the present invention which is designated as a whole with 1.
  • the supporting element comprises a supporting body 2 which is manufactured from for instance cast metal and in which a number of cavities 3, 4 and 5 are arranged, for instance by machining.
  • a Seeger rings Used to fix the pivots 6, 7, 8 in spherical cavities 3, 4, 5 are Seeger rings which are placed in a groove arranged for this purpose.
  • supporting body 2 On its underside the supporting body 2 is provided with a support surface not shown in the drawing.
  • Figure 1 also shows that supporting body 2 is provided with a secondary support surface 26 which is used to support the supporting element on a second side.
  • the ball joints formed by spherical cavities 3, 4, 5 and pivots 6, 7, 8 allow a rotation within certain angles of the coupling elements 9, 10, 11 attached to the pivots.
  • These coupling elements are adapted for coupling to rod elements such as are sold by applicant under the "Powershore” programme. Using these rod elements it is possible to build up structures as shown in figure 4.
  • Figure 4 shows a space 12 which is formed by a base 13, an outer wall 14 and a side wall 15.
  • a structural support 16 is further arranged in the space.
  • outer wall 14 is a ship's hull in which an opening 17 has been made. Opening 17 is sealed by a plate 18, for instance a metal plate, which is pressed into place by a rod assembly.
  • a supporting element 1 according to the present invention is placed for this purpose against plate 18, the coupling 9 of which element is connected to a first rod 17.
  • Rod 17 is connected on its other end to a single supporting element.
  • This prior art supporting element 19 serves as single supporting element.
  • a rod 21 is connected to the second coupling element 10 of the supporting element. This is connected to another prior art single supporting element 22.
  • the third coupling element 11 is connected to a third rod 23 which is connected to a coupling element of a second supporting element according to the present invention, which is designated in figure 4 with 1'.
  • Supporting element 1' corresponds with supporting element 1 and is thus also provided with a first coupling element 9', which is connected to rod 23, and second coupling element 10', which is connected to a rod 24 which extends obliquely upward and the other side of which is connected to a single supporting element 25 according to the prior art.
  • the third coupling element 11' is not connected to a rod. In the configuration in which this supporting element 1' is used this is not necessary, since the supporting element not only rests against side wall 15 with its support surface but also rests on base 12 with its secondary support surface.
  • a hydraulic cylinder is arranged in one of these rods.
  • a pressure can hereby be generated in the thus formed rod assembly, which force can be used to push plate 18 against outer wall 14 and to thereby seal the opening 17 in side wall 15.
  • Figure 3 shows a body 1" which has a rectangular form and which is provided with three points of rotation 31, 32 and 33 situated in a line 30. These points of rotation 31, 32 and 33 represent the points of rotation of the ball joints formed by spherical cavities 3, 4 respectively 5 and pivots 6, 7 respectively 8.
  • the axis of the first ball joint is limited to a segment of a sphere corresponding to 1/8 sphere which is directed to the left, to the rear and upward relative to point 31.
  • the axis of the third ball joint is limited to movements within the direction of the segment of a sphere corresponding to about 1/6 sphere, which extends from point 33 to the rear, to the right and upward.
  • the deflection of the associated axis is limited to a segment of a sphere, the extension of which in the vertical plane is limited to the upper half, and is limited in the horizontal plane by the angle ⁇ .
  • This angle can have a size of for instance 12 ⁇ O.
  • FIGS 1 and 2 of the drawings show how two eyes 27, 28 are fixed to the supporting element. These eyes 27 serve for fastening cables or belts to the supporting element. These cables or belts can also be used to transmit forces which play a part in the play of forces of the rod assembly. It will however be apparent that these cables or belts can only transmit tensile forces.
