Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a folding weather protection module as claimed in the preamble to the following claim 1.
  • the present invention also relates to a method for erecting a folding weather protection module as claimed in the preamble to the following claim 4.
  • the object of the present invention is to produce a folding weather protection module that is possible to erect and fold up quickly and that also fulfils high demands regarding stability, even in adverse weather conditions.
  • the said object is also achieved by means of a method for erecting a weather protection module, which method is characterized in accordance with claim 4.
  • Figure 1 shows a perspective view of a folding weather protection module according to the invention
  • Figure 2 shows a detailed view of a folding joint comprised in the weather protection module according to the invention.
  • the weather protection module consists of an integrated unit with a frame part 1 and a cover part 2 that is integral with the frame part in all states, that is both in the erected state and in the folded state.
  • the frame part 1 consists of a number of frame arches, in the example shown three frame arches 3, 4, 5, that are parallel to each other and a certain distance apart in the erected state.
  • Each frame arch 3, 4, 5 consists of a roof section 6 and two side sections 8.
  • the roof section 6 is angled in order to form a ridge 9, while the side sections 7, 8 can be folded relative to the roof section at the respective corners that form the base of the roof by means of folding joints 10, 11 that are arranged at the corners, which enable the side sections of the frame to be folded in.
  • the cover part is intended to form the roof and the side walls as a continuous cover down to the ground or floor level and is attached to the frame arches by channels that are sewn or glued onto the inside of the cover, or alternatively by a plurality of ties being arranged so that there is an attachment between the cover and the tube sections that make up the frame arches.
  • the frame part 1 is provided with a number of braces, namely two diagonal braces 12, 13 that are arranged in each space between two adjacent frame arches. More specifically, one diagonal brace is attached, in such a way that it can fold, to the outermost frame arch 3 at the bottom of its side section, by means of a folding joint 14 arranged at one end of the diagonal brace, while at its opposite end 16, the diagonal brace is attached to the next frame arch 4 at the top of its side section and in such a way that it can fold relative to the middle frame arch by means of a folding joint 17.
  • the other diagonal brace is attached at the bottom of the middle frame arch by means of a lower folding joint 18 at its lower end 19, while at its upper end 20, the brace is attached at the top of the outer frame arch by means of a folding joint 21.
  • the two diagonal braces 12, 13 are not attached to each other at their point of intersection, but pass each other as a result of the points of attachment of their ends being displaced sideways to a certain extent.
  • the diagonal braces 12, 13 are variable in length as they are telescopic and consist of two tube sections 22, 23, one of which can be inserted in the other, and can be locked relative to each other by means of a locking device 24 that can be released, which, for example, consists of a folding lever that creates a clamp effect between the tube sections by means of an eccentric function.
  • the diagonal braces are arranged to be able to be locked, primarily when fully extended, but they can also be locked when fully retracted, in order, for example, to avoid unintentional unfolding.
  • pairs of diagonal braces are arranged in each space 25, 26, 27, 28 between two adjacent frame arches and are arranged in the same way as described above with folding joints at their ends and a locking function between the telescopic sections.
  • four pairs of diagonal braces are thus arranged, two pairs on one side wall and two pairs on the other side wall.
  • the frame part is provided with a number of folding stays that extend in the spaces 25-28 between the frame arches, more specifically with two folding stays 29, 30 in each space, a lower folding stay located below the lower folding joints 14, 18 of the diagonal braces and an upper folding stay 30 located above the upper folding joints 17, 21 of the diagonal braces.
  • the folding stays have a folding joint 35, 36, 37, 38 at each end 31, 32, 33, 34, for attachment, in such a way that they can fold, to the side section 7, 8 of the first or second frame arch 3, 4.
  • the folding stays have, in addition, an intermediate folding joint 39, 40 that is located at the midpoint of the stay.
  • This middle folding joint is so arranged that it can keep the stays in a stable unfolded position as it is designed to maintain a stable end position for the folding movement. This is, for example, carried out by each middle folding joint 39, 40 being able to be folded past the centre, to a so-called over-centre position, which remains stable as the tension of the cover creates an axial pressure from the two folding joints 35, 36, 37, 38 towards the middle folding joint 39, 40 in the associated stay 29, 30 respectively.
  • the two stay sections 41, 42 can be folded slightly more than 180° relative to each other around their middle folding joints 39, 40. It is possible that an extra locking device may be required to lock the folding stays in the unfolded state.
  • stays 43, 44 are arranged between the roof sections of the frame arches, which, for example, can be able to be folded at one end 45, 46 and thus are attached by means of their folding joint 47, 48 to the respective ridge section, and are able to be released at the opposite end so that the respective stay is able to be folded in to make contact parallel to the roof section 6 of the associated frame arch. It is also possible for the two ridge stays 43, 44 to consist of folding stays of the same type as the stays 29, 30 in the side sections.
  • each module is stored in a space-saving way, with the frame part and the cover part as integral parts.
  • the cover part is designed to be such a size that is required for a weather protection module in the erected state, with the addition of overlapping parts 49, 50, 51 that extend outside the two outer frame arches to form a weather-proof overlap to the next section.
  • the frame arches lie relatively close to each other and with the side sections 7, 8 folded in around the associated folding joints 10, 11 towards the roof section 6.
  • the side sections are advantageously of such a length that they are the same size as the length of the roof section 6, which gives space to enable the two side sections 7, 8 to be laid overlapping in relation to each other.
  • the telescopic function of the diagonal braces enables these to be fully retracted and to lie essentially parallel to each other and to the associated side sections of the frame arches.
  • the folding stays 29, 30 are folded in an inwards direction around their middle folding joints 39, 40 and their folding joints at the ends 35-38 so that they are in contact with the side sections of the adjacent frame arches.
  • the ridge stays 43, 44 are removed from their erected position, for example by folding them to a position parallel to the roof section 6 of the frame arches.
  • a complete weather protection system of the folding shelter type is stored and transported in a number of packages, depending upon the size of the finished shelter.
  • gable ends that is the modules that are to be outermost
  • the erection is commenced by unfolding the legs or side sections 7, 8 of the three frame arches 3, 4, 5 by pivoting them outwards around the two folding joints 10, 11 in each frame arch and locking the joint in the unfolded state by means of a locking device, which will be described below in the example shown in greater detail in Figure 2 .
  • the side sections 7, 8 will then be parallel to each other, whereupon the arches are raised up from the horizontal position into a vertical position and are moved apart so that the cover is at least partially tensioned.
  • the folding stays 29, 30 are opened to their maximum unfolded position, that is their stable end position, whereupon the cover is so dimensioned and attached that it is correctly tensioned.
  • the diagonal braces are kept unlocked so that they can be gradually lengthened from their minimum length in the folded state until the folding stays are completely extended. Thereafter the diagonal braces are fixed by setting the locking device 24 to the locking position. Finally, the ridge stays 43, 44 are placed in their erected position according to Figure 1 , so that the frame arches are also held a predetermined distance apart at the ridge.
  • the erection of additional modules continues in the same way, and these modules are lifted into place in an erected state and then they are joined together with previously erected modules by joining together both the covers and the frame arches by means of suitable connecting devices.
  • they can be anchored by means of ground spikes that can be inserted through, for example, a flange arranged on any of the lower ends of the frame arches or alternatively on any of the folding stays.
  • the cover can be provided with a skirt at the bottom (not shown) that makes contact with the ground for sealing against the wind, for example by means of sandbags or by the skirt being designed with sealed channels that can be filled with water to form a secure anchorage and make a tight connection to the ground.
  • FIG. 2 shows a partial large scale view of an example of an embodiment of one of the upper folding joints 10, 11 in the frame arches.
  • the folding joint itself consists essentially of two parallel plates 52 that are joined together either by spacing bolts 53, 54 that also act as pivots, or alternatively the plates consist of a U-shaped bent plate with connecting plate 55.
  • the plates are arranged to take between them one end 56 of a frame tube that forms the roof section 6 of each frame arch and one end 57 of the frame tube that forms the side section 8 of the frame arch.
  • All the frame tubes are advantageously designed as square profiles with a degree of rounding of the corners and are constructed suitably of a durable resilient plastic material with relatively high rigidity and high durability plus low weight.
  • the folding joint 11 can be locked when the weather protection module is in the erected state, that is the state according to Figure 1 and 2 which, according to the example shown, is carried out by means of a separate stay 58, the bottom of which is attached to the frame tube of the wall section 8 by means of a bracket 59 with a flange 60, so that the stay is inserted between two flange sections or at the side of the flange sections and is fixed by means of a bolt 61.
  • the stay 58 is attached to both plates 52 of the folding joint 11 by means of a bolt 62, with the upper end of the stay suitably inserted between the two plates 52.
  • each module can consist of only two frame arches with intermediate stays, or alternatively of four or more frame arches. It is also possible for there to be diagonal braces only between two of the frame arches in each module, with folding stays arranged between all the frame arches. It is also possible to have folding stays that are twice as long and that extend past the middle frame arch and are attached to the two outer frame arches and have a folding joint located in the middle of the middle frame arch so that the stay lies to the side of the middle frame arch.
