Une telle construction est connue de la demande internationale WO 2005/066426 . Une construction basée sur le principe d'un portique à trois articulations offre de la stabilité et de la rigidité dans un plan. Une telle construction comporte en général deux éléments de construction rigides qui sont reliés par un point de charnière. Les éléments sont fixés par leurs autres points de charnière à un point fixe de la base. La stabilité longitudinale de la construction est obtenue par la rigidité et largeur des éléments.Such a construction is known from the international application WO 2005/066426 . A construction based on the principle of a gantry with three joints offers stability and rigidity in a plane. Such a construction generally comprises two rigid construction elements which are connected by a hinge point. The elements are fixed by their other hinge points to a fixed point of the base. The longitudinal stability of the construction is obtained by the rigidity and width of the elements.

L'inconvénient de la construction connue est qu'elle nécessite des moyens supplémentaires tels que des tirants latéraux ou des éléments rigides pour assurer une stabilité dans plusieurs plans.The disadvantage of the known construction is that it requires additional means such as lateral tie rods or rigid elements to provide stability in several planes.

Le but de l'invention est de réaliser une construction basée sur le principe d'un portique à trois articulations qui offre également une stabilité dans les autres plans de la construction.The object of the invention is to achieve a construction based on the principle of a gantry with three joints which also offers stability in the other plans of the construction.

La bretelle est tendue de telle façon à tirer la section du membre vers le noeud commun. On peut ainsi réaliser un portique d'accès ou avoir plus d'espace.An eighth preferred embodiment of a construction according to the invention is characterized in that at least one of the tension members is connected with a sling to the common node or to at least one of the compression members. The strap is stretched in such a way as to pull the limb section towards the common knot. It is thus possible to make an access gantry or to have more space.

A cette fin, cette construction peut comporter un élément de couverture qui est tendu ou soutenu par lesdits éléments de la construction. En particulier, l'élément de couverture peut être soutenu extérieurement par lesdits éléments, de manière à ce que l'espace couvert par des surfaces tendues soit libre d'obstacles.The construction is particularly suitable for covering surfaces with cover elements arranged to be stretched. For this purpose, this construction may comprise a covering element which is stretched or supported by said elements of the construction. In particular, the cover element can be supported externally by said elements , so that the space covered by tense surfaces is free of obstacles.

Dans les figures une même référence a été attribuée à un même élément ou à un élément analogue.In the figures, the same reference has been attributed to the same element or to a similar element.

Avant de décrire en détail une construction suivant la présente invention, un exemple d'une structure connue à trois articulations sera d'abord décrit en référence aux figures 1 et 2.Before describing in detail a construction according to the present invention, an example of a known three-jointed structure will be first described with reference to figures 1 and 2 .

En référence tout d'abord aux figures 1 et 2, une vue en perspective d'une structure composite est illustrée. La figure 1 illustre une construction ayant trois portiques 110, 130, 150 qui comprennent chacun un portique à trois articulations ayant des points de charnière 118, 138, 158, 120, 140, 160 destinés à être fixés à une base et des points de charnières 116, 136, 156 reliant chaque fois entre eux les deux éléments de construction qui sont adjacent.With reference first to figures 1 and 2 a perspective view of a composite structure is illustrated. The figure 1 illustrates a construction having three gantries 110, 130, 150 each comprising a three-hinge gantry having hinge points 118, 138, 158, 120, 140, 160 for attachment to a base and hinge points 116, 136 , 156 connecting each time between them the two adjacent building elements.

Bien que chaque module 110, 130, 150 soit stable dans le plan dans lequel les trois articulations se trouvent, une connexion entre les modules successifs s'avère nécessaire pour garantir la stabilité dans les plans autres que celui dans lequel les trois articulations de chaque module se trouvent. Dans cette structure, la stabilité est assurée par une série de connecteurs parallèles 170, 176, 178, 180, 182, qui relient les modules successifs110, 130, 150 entre eux. Le connecteur 176 relie respectivement les points 122, 142 les uns aux autres et le connecteur 178 relie les points 124, 144, 164 entre eux._Par exemple l'élément rigide 176 relie les points 122, 142 et l'élément rigide 172 relie les points 118 et 138 entre eux et rend ainsi la stabilité dans le plan perpendiculaire aux modules 110 et 130. Comme illustré à la figure 2, les croisillons 220 et 230 relient les points 120, 144 et 124 et 140 entre eux et donnent la stabilité dans le plan perpendiculaire aux modules 110 et 130.Although each module 110, 130, 150 is stable in the plane in which the three joints are, a connection between the successive modules is necessary to ensure stability in the plans other than that in which the three joints of each module lie. In this structure, the stability is ensured by a series of parallel connectors 170, 176, 178, 180, 182, which connect the successive modules 110, 130, 150 between them. The connector 176 connects the points 122, 142 to each other and the connector 178 connects the points 124, 144, 164 to each other. For example the rigid element 176 connects the points 122, 142 and the rigid element 172 connects the points 118 and 138 between them and thus makes the stability in the plane perpendicular to the modules 110 and 130. As illustrated in FIG. figure 2 , the braces 220 and 230 connect the points 120, 144 and 124 and 140 between them and give stability in the plane perpendicular to the modules 110 and 130.

La figure 3 illustre une première forme de réalisation d'un élément de construction conformément à la présente invention. Cet élément de construction, qui de préférence est un élément de construction rigide, est un élément de base qui peut être utilisé pour réaliser une construction conformément à la présente invention. L'élément comprend un ensemble de membres formé par quatre membres de compression 310, 320, 330, 340 qui sont réunies les uns aux autres par membres de tension 360, 361, 362, 363, 364, 365. Les quatre membres de compression sont reliés entre eux de telle façon à former un noeud commun 350. Les membres de tension et de compression exercent une force entre eux ce qui permet ainsi d'obtenir un élément de construction rigide précontraint. Les membres de compression et de tension sont par exemple fabriqués en aluminium, en métal, en bois ou en fibres de carbone. D'autres matériaux peuvent être utilisés suivant les contraintes imposées à la construction qu'il faut construire à l'aide des éléments de construction suivant l'invention. Pour des raisons de clarté la description de la présente invention sera limitée à des constructions de bâtiment. Il va de soi que la présente invention n'est pas limité à des bâtiments et que d'autres constructions comme par exemple des meubles, des tentes, des bras de pilonnes ou des pièces articulées peuvent être réaliséesThe figure 3 illustrates a first embodiment of a building element according to the present invention. This building element, which is preferably a rigid building element, is a basic element that can be used to realize a construction according to the present invention. The element comprises a set of limbs formed by four compression members 310, 320, 330, 340 which are joined to each other by tension members 360, 361, 362, 363, 364, 365. The four compression members are interconnected with each other so as to form a common node 350. The tension and compression members exert a force between them thereby obtaining a prestressed rigid structural member. The compression and tension members are for example made of aluminum, metal, wood or carbon fibers. Other materials can be used according to the constraints imposed on the construction that must be built using the building elements according to the invention. For the sake of clarity, the description of the present invention will be limited to building constructions. It goes without saying that the present invention is not limited to buildings and that other constructions such as furniture, tents, arm of pounding or articulated parts can be realized.

L'élément de construction comporte au moins trois points de charnières qui forment des charnières multidirectionnelles. Dans l'exemple de la figure 3 la référence 1 indique le premier point de charnière et les références 2, 3 et 4 indiquent respectivement le deuxième, troisième et quatrième point de charnière. Un organe de transmission d'efforts 5 est de préférence relié au troisième point de charnière 3, qui se trouve dans un plan longitudinal de l'élément de construction.The construction element has at least three hinge points that form multidirectional hinges. In the example of the figure 3 the reference 1 indicates the first hinge point and the references 2, 3 and 4 respectively indicate the second, third and fourth hinge points. A force transmitting member 5 is preferably connected to the third hinge point 3, which lies in a longitudinal plane of the construction element.

Il est possible d'assembler les membres de compression de façon articulée par rapport au noeud commun. Les membres de compression peuvent également être enserrés entre eux au noeud commun ou être monté de façon solidaire entre eux. Les membres de compression peuvent également être montés de façon démontable entre eux au noeud commun. La forme de réalisation articulable et/ou démontable permet de replier les membres de compression sur eux-mêmes de telle façon à facilement les transporter. Lorsque les membres de compression sont repliés sur eux mêmes ou montés de façon démontable, l'élément de construction peut avoir des dimensions inférieures ou égales à celles d'un container de transport standard, ce qui permet de les transporter de façon économique dans ce container.It is possible to assemble the compression members in an articulated manner with respect to the common node. The compression members can also be clamped together at the common node or be mounted integrally with each other. The compression members can also be removably mounted between them to the common knot. The articulable and / or removable embodiment makes it possible to fold the compression members on themselves in such a way as to easily transport them. When the compression members are folded on themselves or mounted removably, the construction element may have dimensions less than or equal to those of a standard transport container, which allows to transport them economically in this container .

La forme de réalisation illustrée à la figure 4 se distingue de celle illustrée à la figure 3 par la présence d'une bretelle 420 tendue entre le noeud commun 350 et le membre de tension 360, lequel relie le premier point de charnière 1 au deuxième point de charnière 2. La présente invention n'est pas limitée à la forme de réalisation illustrée à la figure 4, et la bretelle peut également être tendue entre le noeud commun 350 et d'autres membres de tension. Plusieurs bretelles peuvent également être tendues dans un même élément de construction. La bretelle est tendue de telle façon à tirer le membre de tension à laquelle elle est attachée vers le noeud commun. En tendant ainsi la bretelle, on modifie le contour de l'élément rigide de construction, ce qui permet d'obtenir un plus grand espace libre entre les points de charnières concernées, ce qui peut être avantageux lorsque l'élément de construction est utilisé pour couvrir des surfaces. Les bretelles peuvent être réalisées en la même matière que celle dont sont constitués les membres de tension ou en une autre matière.The embodiment illustrated in figure 4 differs from that illustrated in figure 3 by the presence of a shoulder strap 420 stretched between the common node 350 and the tension member 360, which connects the first hinge point 1 to the second hinge point 2. The present invention is not limited to the illustrated embodiment to the figure 4 and the strap may also be tensioned between the common node 350 and other tension members. Several straps can also be stretched in the same building element. The strap is stretched so as to pull the tension member to which it is attached to the common knot. By thus stretching the strap, the contour of the rigid construction element is modified, which makes it possible to obtain a larger free space between the hinge points concerned, which can be advantageous when the construction element is used for cover surfaces. The shoulder straps can be made of the same material as the tension members or other material.

Dans les exemples illustrés aux figures 3 et 4, les membres de tension 360, 361, 362, 363, 364, 365 sont chaque fois agencés à transmettre des efforts en tension le long d'un axe. Chaque membre de tension est également agencé à transmettre des efforts de tension entre les axes des membres de compression entre lequel il est tendu. L'usage des membres de tension et de compression et la façon dont ils sont assemblés entre eux fait que l'élément de construction devient une entité rigide grâce à la pré-tension appliquée.In the examples illustrated in figures 3 and 4 , the tension members 360, 361, 362, 363, 364, 365 are each arranged to transmit tension forces along an axis. Each tension member is also arranged to transmit tension forces between the axes of the compression members between which it is stretched. The use of tension and compression limbs and how they are assembled together makes the building element a rigid entity thanks to the pre-tension applied.

Les membres de tension sont par exemple formés par des tirants qui travaillent en tension sur les membres de compression. Ces membres de tension peuvent être mis sous une pré-tension. Les efforts en tension sont transmis entre au moins deux axes des membres de compression. On voit ainsi à la figure 3 que le membre de tension 361 peut transmettre des efforts en tension sur les axes de membres de compression 310 et 340.The tension members are for example formed by tie rods which work in tension on the compression members. These tension members can be put under a pre-tension. Tensile forces are transmitted between at least two axes of the compression members. So we see at the figure 3 that the tension member 361 can transmit tensile forces on the axes of compression members 310 and 340.

Les membres de tension peuvent également être formés par un voile tendu entre les points de charnières formés par les membres de compression, comme illustré aux figures 5 et 6. Dans ces formes de réalisation, le voile est agencé à transmettre des efforts en tension sur plusieurs axes. Le voile peut être raccordé au noeud commun ou à au moins un membre de compression à l'aide d'une bretelle. Dans la forme de réalisation suivant la figure 6 le voile est tendu sur l'ensemble des membres de compression de telle façon à les couvrir entièrement. Dans la forme de réalisation suivant la figure 5 le voile est tendu sur l'ensemble des membres de compression de telle façon à les couvrir que partiellement. Le fait que le voile est tendu sur l'ensemble des membres de compression fait que les efforts de pré- tension sont ainsi exercés par le voile sur tous les membres de compression. Dans la forme de réalisation de la figure 5 un membre de tension 6 est tendu entre le troisième 3 et le quatrième 4 point de charnière de telle façon à assurer que des efforts de tension soient exercés sur les membres de compression 330 et 340.The tension members can also be formed by a web stretched between the hinge points formed by the compression members, as illustrated in FIGS. figures 5 and 6 . In these embodiments, the web is arranged to transmit forces in tension on several axes. The web may be connected to the common knot or at least one compression member using a sling. In the embodiment according to figure 6 the veil is stretched over all the compression members so as to cover them completely. In the embodiment according to figure 5 the veil is stretched over all the compression members so as to cover them only partially. The fact that the web is stretched over all the compression members means that pre-tensioning forces are thus exerted by the web on all compression members. In the embodiment of the figure 5 a tension member 6 is tensioned between the third 3 and the fourth 4 hinge point so as to ensure that tension forces are exerted on the compression members 330 and 340.

La figure 7 illustre encore une autre forme de réalisation d'un élément de construction suivant la présente invention. Cette forme de réalisation se distingue de celle des figures 3 à 6 par le fait qu'il n'y a pas de noeud commun entre les membres de compression 310, 320, 330 et 340. Les membres de compression se croisent mutuellement dans l'espace à une distance l'une de l'autre. Ainsi les membres de compression ne se touchent pas. Tout comme dans les formes de réalisation précédentes les membres de compression sont reliés entre eux par des membres de tension. L'avantage de cette forme de réalisation est que les membres de compression sont uniquement reliés entre eux à l'aide des membres de tension, cela résulte en des liaisons simples à fabriquer. Un autre avantage de cette forme de réalisation est qu'elle peut donner une grande flexibilité à l'élément de construction pour absorber des secousses ou des vibrations. Cette forme de réalisation a également l'avantage de donner une grande flexibilité dans la pose de l'élément sur un sol qui n'est pas plan. Par sa grande flexibilité cet élément va plus facilement s'adapter aux inégalités du sol et ils seront ainsi compensés par l'élément même.The figure 7 illustrates yet another embodiment of a construction element according to the present invention. This embodiment differs from that of Figures 3 to 6 in that there is no common node between the compression members 310, 320, 330 and 340. Compression members intersect each other in space at a distance from each other. Thus the compression members do not touch each other. As in the previous embodiments, the compression members are interconnected by tension members. The advantage of this embodiment is that the compression members are uniquely interconnected by means of the tension members, resulting in simple connections to be made. Another advantage of this embodiment is that it can give great flexibility to the building element to absorb shaking or vibration. This embodiment also has the advantage of giving great flexibility in laying the element on a floor that is not flat. By its great flexibility this element will adapt more easily to the unevenness of the ground and they will thus be compensated by the element itself.

La figure 8 illustre une forme de réalisation comparable à celle de la figure 7, mais qui se distingue par la présence d'une bretelle 420 qui est tendue entre des membres de tension 360, 361 et 362 et tire ces derniers vers l'intérieur de l'élément de construction.The figure 8 illustrates an embodiment comparable to that of the figure 7 , but which is distinguished by the presence of a strap 420 which is stretched between tension members 360, 361 and 362 and pulls them towards the inside of the building element.

La figure 9 illustre une construction suivant l'invention et réalisée avec deux éléments de construction suivant l'invention. Chaque élément de construction 10, 11 est fixé à une base, par exemple formé par le sol sur lequel la construction est posée, à l'aide de son premier point de charnière 1. Les éléments de construction 10 et 11 sont reliés entre eux par leur deuxième point de charnière 2. Les deuxièmes points de charnières étant situés en hauteur par rapport aux premiers points de charnière. Le troisième point de charnière 3 de chaque élément de construction étant également fixé à la base. Le premier 1 et le deuxième 2 point de charnière des éléments de construction 10 et 11 définissent un premier plan 1 p de transmission d'efforts. Le troisième 3 et le deuxième 2 point de charnière de chaque élément de construction définissent un deuxième plan 2p de transmission d'efforts. Les plans 1 p et 2p de transmission d'efforts se croissent entre eux. Puisque le premier et le troisième point de charnière de chaque élément se trouvent posés sur la base, ils forment sur la base un troisième plan 3p de transmission d'efforts, qui croise le premier et le deuxième plan de transmission d'efforts. Ce troisième plan est un plan longitudinal de la construction, alors que les premiers et deuxièmes plans sont des plans transversaux de la construction. On obtient ainsi une stabilité en trois dimensions puisque les trois plans de transmission d'efforts se croisent entre eux.The figure 9 illustrates a construction according to the invention and carried out with two construction elements according to the invention. Each building element 10, 11 is attached to a base, for example formed by the floor on which the construction is laid, using its first hinge point 1. The building elements 10 and 11 are interconnected by their second hinge point 2. The second hinge points being located in height relative to the first hinge points. The third hinge point 3 of each building element is also attached to the base. The first 1 and the second 2 hinge point of the building elements 10 and 11 define a first plane 1 p of force transmission. The third 3 and second 2 hinge points of each building element define a second plane 2p of transmission of efforts. The 1p and 2p plans of transmission of efforts grow between them. Since the first and third hinge points of each element are placed on the base, they form on the base a third plane 3p force transmission, which crosses the first and second transmission plane efforts. This third plane is a longitudinal plane of the construction, while the first and second planes are transverse planes of the construction. Three-dimensional stability is thus obtained since the three force transmission planes intersect with each other.

La figure 10 illustre une construction suivant l'invention réalisée avec trois éléments de construction 10,11, et 12 juxtaposés l'un à l'autre. Chaque élément étant fixé à une base par son premier point de charnière 1. Les trois éléments de construction sont reliés l'un à l'autre par leur deuxième point de charnière 2. Les deuxièmes points de charnières étant situés en hauteur par rapport aux premiers points de charnière. Le point 20 représente la liaison entre le troisième point de charnière du premier élément de construction 10 et le quatrième point de charnière du deuxième élément de construction 11. Ce deuxième élément 11 étant adjacent au premier élément de construction 10. Le point 21 représente la liaison entre le troisième point de charnière du deuxième élément de construction 11 et un quatrième point de charnière du troisième élément de construction 12.The figure 10 illustrates a construction according to the invention made with three building elements 10,11, and 12 juxtaposed to one another. Each element being fixed to a base by its first hinge point 1. The three building elements are connected to each other by their second hinge point 2. The second hinge points being located in height relative to the first hinge points. The point 20 represents the connection between the third hinge point of the first building element 10 and the fourth hinge point of the second building element 11. This second element 11 being adjacent to the first building element 10. The point 21 represents the connection between the third hinge point of the second building element 11 and a fourth hinge point of the third building element 12.

Le fait de relier de telle façon entre eux les éléments de construction permet de former des plans de transmission d'efforts de la façon qui sera décrite ci-dessous. Le deuxième point de charnière des éléments de construction et les premiers points de charnières du premier 10 et du troisième 12 élément de construction définissent un premier plan 1P de transmission d'efforts, situé dans un plan transversal de la construction. Le premier point de charnière du premier 10 et du deuxième 11 élément de construction et le deuxième point de charnière du premier et du deuxième élément de construction définissent un deuxième plan 2P de transmission d'efforts, situé dans un plan longitudinal de la construction. Le premier point de charnière du deuxième 11 et du troisième élément de construction et le deuxième point de charnière du deuxième et du troisième élément de construction définissent un troisième plan 3P de transmission d'efforts. On constatera que les plans 1P, 2P et 3P de transmission d'efforts se croisent entre eux. Les plans des trois éléments de construction se croisent entre eux ce qui permet d'obtenir une construction stable sans faire appel à d'autres éléments.The fact of interconnecting the building elements together makes it possible to form stress transmission planes in the manner that will be described below. The second hinge point of the building elements and the first hinge points of the first and third building elements define a first force transmission plane 1P, located in a transverse plane of the building. The first hinge point of the first 10 and second 11 building element and the second hinge point of the first and the second construction element define a second plane 2P transmission of forces, located in a longitudinal plane of the construction. The first hinge point of the second and third building elements and the second hinge point of the second and third building elements define a third force transmission plane 3P. It will be seen that the 1P, 2P and 3P effort transmission plans intersect with each other. The plans of the three building elements intersect with each other, resulting in a stable construction without the use of other elements.

La figure 11 illustre une autre forme de réalisation d'une construction qui est formée de trois éléments de construction, relié l'un à l'autre. Dans cette forme de réalisation les deuxièmes points de charnière de chacun des trois éléments de construction étant également chaque fois relié l'un à l'autre. Le troisième point de charnière du premier élément de construction 10 étant relié à l'aide de l'organe de transmission d'efforts 5 à un quatrième point de charnière du deuxième élément de construction 11.Le troisième point de charnière du deuxième élément de construction est relié au quatrième point de charnière du troisième élément de construction12 à l'aide d'un autre organe de transmission d'efforts 5' du troisième élément de construction. Le quatrième point de charnière du premier élément de construction et le troisième point de charnière du troisième élément de construction étant reliés entre eux à l'aide des organes de transmissions d'efforts. Le deuxième point de charnière des éléments de construction et les premiers points de charnières du premier et du troisième élément de construction définissent un premier plan de transmission d'efforts 1P. Le premier point de charnière du premier et du deuxième élément de construction et le deuxième point de charnière du premier et du deuxième élément de construction définissent un deuxième plan de transmission d'efforts 2P. Le premier point de charnière du deuxième et du troisième élément de construction et le deuxième point de charnière du deuxième et du troisième élément de construction définissent un troisième plan de transmission d'efforts 3P. Les plans de transmission d'efforts se croisent entre eux.The figure 11 illustrates another embodiment of a construction which is formed of three building elements, connected to each other. In this embodiment the second hinge points of each of the three building elements are also each time connected to each other. The third hinge point of the first building element 10 being connected by means of the force transmission member 5 to a fourth hinge point of the second building element 11.The third hinge point of the second building element is connected to the fourth hinge point of the third building element12 by means of another force transmitting member 5 'of the third building element. The fourth hinge point of the first building element and the third hinge point of the third building element being connected to one another by means of the force transmission members. The second hinge point of the building elements and the first hinge points of the first and third building elements define a first 1P force transmission plane. The first hinge point of the first and second construction members and the second hinge point of the first and second construction members define a second power transmission plane 2P. The first hinge point of the second and third element of construction and the second hinge point of the second and third construction element define a third 3P force transmission plane. The plans of transmission of efforts intersect with each other.

Suivant une forme de réalisation alternative à celles illustré aux figures 10 et 11, l'organe de transmission d'efforts peut former la liaison entre soit le troisième point de charnière du premier élément de construction10 et le quatrième point de charnière du deuxième élément de construction 11, soit le troisième point de charnière du deuxième élément de construction et le quatrième point du troisième élément de construction 12. Le quatrième point de charnière du premier élément de construction et le troisième point de charnière du troisième élément de construction étant alors reliés entre eux à l'aide de l'organe des transmissions d'efforts 5. Cette forme de réalisation offre par rapport à celle illustré à la figure 10 une plus grande flexibilité de construction. En effet l'usage de l'organe des transmissions d'efforts permet de librement laissez un espace entre soit le premier et le deuxième, soit entre le deuxième et le troisième élément de construction.According to an embodiment alternative to those illustrated in figures 10 and 11 the force transmitting member may form the connection between either the third hinge point of the first building element 10 and the fourth hinge point of the second building element 11, ie the third hinge point of the second building element and the fourth point of the third building element 12. The fourth hinge point of the first building element and the third hinge point of the third building element then being connected to each other by means of the force transmission member 5 This embodiment offers compared to that illustrated in FIG. figure 10 greater flexibility of construction. In fact, the use of the force transmitting member makes it possible to freely leave a space between either the first and the second, or between the second and third construction elements.

La figure 12 illustre une construction qui comprend une juxtaposition d'un ensemble de chaque fois deux éléments de construction 30 et 31 disposé l'un à côté de l'autre. Ces deux éléments de construction sont chaque fois chacun fixés au sol par leur premier point de charnière 1. Ces deux éléments de construction sont chaque fois chacun reliés entre eux par leur deuxième point de charnière 2. Les deuxièmes points de charnières étant situés en hauteur par rapport aux premiers points de charnière. Le troisième point de charnière 3 de chaque élément de construction étant chaque fois relié au quatrième point de charnière de l'élément de construction qui lui est juxtaposé.
