Abstract

The invention relates to an assembly node intended for the structure of three-dimensional, plain or curved frameworks and for assembling load-bearing structures in the building industry. Node for assembling concurrent bars and plates. Its structure is three-dimensional, geometrically composed of three rings assembled orthogonally, inscribed in a sphere whose centre is spherically hollow. Holes are provided at the surface of the rings so as to provide fixing for the bars. The constituent elements of the assembly node are held solidly together by welding or riveting. The whole node may be obtained by moulding. The node may be reinforced by installing a solid sphere at its centre. In the event of using the node of the invention for three-dimensional setted leadwork, the node is made up of two hemispheres, one of which is offset with respect to the other in the horizontal plane by 45 DEG .

Description

NOEUD D'ASSEMBLAGE SPHERIQUE.SPHERICAL ASSEMBLY KNOT.

La présente invention concerne un noeud d'assemblage pour des barres de sec -tion carrées,rectangulaires,circulaires,cornières et profiles habituel -lement utilisés dans la consruction et l'industriejbarres pleines ou creuses (tubes) de matériaux de toutes natures:bois,metal,plastique...... The present invention relates to an assembly node for square, rectangular, circular, section bars, angles and profiles usually used only in construction and industry. Solid or hollow bars (tubes) of materials of all kinds: wood, metal, plastic ......

Dans l'industrie du batiment l'on a toujours cherché à rationnaliser et standardiser les composants (la brique étant sans doute le premier). In the building industry we have always sought to rationalize and standardize the components (brick being undoubtedly the first).

Les noeuds d'assemblage ont également cet objectif,malheureusement ils sont souvent techniquement difficile à fabriquer,donc leur prix de revient élevé en limite l'usage;ou bien ne sont pas adaptes au respect des règles de l'art de la construction,par exemple:rétention- de l'eau de pluie dans le cas d'un emploi à ltexterieur,entrainantune corosion du noeud et des piéces qui en sont solidaires,ou bien son emploi ne répond pas mécaniquement à un usage optimum du matériau utilisé.The assembly nodes also have this objective, unfortunately they are often technically difficult to manufacture, therefore their high cost price limits their use; or else they are not adapted to the respect of the rules of the art of construction, for example: retention of rainwater in the case of use outside, causing corosion of the knot and parts which are integral with it, or else its use does not mechanically respond to optimum use of the material used.

La présente invention propose un noeud d'assemblage,principalement en métal ou tout autre materiau facile à réaliser par préfabrication,permettant l'utilisation de barres ou panneaux qui peuvent être standardisés. Evidé en son centre il permet un usage interieur aussi bien qu'extérieur(évacuation de l'eau pluviale),permet egalement aux barres de ne pas être coupées sur le noeud mais de le traverser. The present invention provides an assembly node, mainly made of metal or any other material easy to make by prefabrication, allowing the use of bars or panels which can be standardized. Hollowed out at its center, it allows indoor as well as outdoor use (evacuation of rainwater), also allows the bars not to be cut on the knot but to cross it.

Le noeud de l'invention est caractérisé principalement par le fait qu'il est de forme s'inscrivant dans une sphére,constitué par trois couronnes se coupant orthogonalement.0n prévoira un moyen de fixation,tel que des trous par exemple,ménagés à travers -les couronnes afin d'assurer la fixation des barres. The knot of the invention is mainly characterized by the fact that it is in the shape of a sphere, constituted by three crowns intersecting orthogonally. There will be provided a fixing means, such as holes for example, formed through -the crowns to secure the bars.

Ces trous sont prevus lors de la préfabrication du noeud ou percés ultérieure -ment selon le type d'assemblage à réaliser.Pour des raisons de commodités et de prix de revient,on réalisera généralement soit à partir de 3/4 de couronne, par pliage(à partir d'une tôle emboutie),soit par découpe de 3 quarts de cou -ronne,puis assemblés entre eux par soudure par exemple.0n obtient ainsi un élément jointif qui s'inscrit dans un tétraèdre.These holes are provided during the prefabrication of the knot or drilled later - depending on the type of assembly to be made. For reasons of convenience and cost, we will generally make either from 3/4 of the crown, by folding (from a stamped sheet), either by cutting 3 quarter-necks, then assembled together by welding, for example. 0 thus obtains a joining element which fits into a tetrahedron.

Le noeud de l'invention,s'inscrivant dans une sphére,est obtenu par l'assem -blage suivant trois axes orthogonaux,de huit éléments identiques,maintenus solidairement par soudure ou rivetage par exemple.La méthode ainsi décrite, offre l'avantage de fabriquer des éléments dont l'épaisseur voulue,puisque c'est l'assemblage des huits éléments identiques qui,en les juxtaposant per -met d'obtenir l'épaisseur souhaitée. The node of the invention, which forms part of a sphere, is obtained by assembling -blocking along three orthogonal axes, eight identical elements, held together by welding or riveting for example. The method thus described offers the advantage to manufacture elements with the desired thickness, since it is the assembly of eight identical elements which, by juxtaposing them per -met to obtain the desired thickness.

Une autre méthode de fabrication consiste à interpénétrer, deux couronnes à l'emporte pièce,ces couronnes sont incisées suivant le rayon d'une largeur correspondant à l'épaisseur de la tôle employée,de façon à les imbriquer ensemble suivant deux axes othogonaux ; la partie restante,afin d'obtenir un noeud complet,viendra se rajouter par 4 quarts ou 2 demies couronnes suivant un troisieme axe orthogonal.Another manufacturing method consists in interpenetrating two crowns with a punch, these crowns are incised along the radius of a width corresponding to the thickness of the sheet metal used, so as to nest them together along two othogonal axes; the remaining part, in order to obtain a complete knot, will be added by 4 quarters or 2 half crowns along a third orthogonal axis.

Naturellement le mode de fabrication est indépendant de l'invention et le noeud d'assemblage peut aussi être fabriqué fonderie ou par moulage d'une matière quelconque.Naturally the manufacturing method is independent of the invention and the assembly node can also be made foundry or by molding of any material.

Les dimensions du noeud sont également variables suivant l'usage auxquel il est destine et déterminé par le calcul.Son utilisation pouvant egalement être envisagée pour le mobilier,ses dimensions seront donc plus réduites que pour une application industrielle par exemple.The dimensions of the knot are also variable depending on the use for which it is intended and determined by calculation. Its use can also be considered for furniture, its dimensions will therefore be smaller than for an industrial application for example.

Dans certains cas,efforts de compression trés importants par exemple,il est possible de renforcer le noeud d'assemblage en plaçant en son centre évidé une sphère constituée d'un matériau adéquate.In certain cases, very large compression forces for example, it is possible to reinforce the assembly node by placing in its hollow center a sphere made of an adequate material.

La description ci-aprés donne quelques exemples,non limitatifs, d'utilisations du noeud objet de l'invention,qui est illustré par les dessins annexés dans lesquels
La figure 1 Schémas A-B-C montre la réalisation du noeud de l'invention par découpe et soudure de couronnes, par exemple.The description below gives some nonlimiting examples of uses of the node which is the subject of the invention, which is illustrated by the appended drawings in which
Figure 1 ABC diagrams shows the realization of the node of the invention by cutting and welding of crowns, for example.

La figure 2 Schémas A-B-C montre l'obtention d'un élément de base par pliage.Figure 2 Diagrams A-B-C shows how to obtain a basic element by folding.

La figure 3 Schémas A-B-C montre huit éléments de base dont l'assemblage par juxtaposition suivant des axes orthogonaux constitue le noeud de l'invention.Figure 3 Diagrams A-B-C shows eight basic elements whose assembly by juxtaposition along orthogonal axes constitutes the crux of the invention.

Les figures 4 et 5 montrent la fixation de barres simples ou doubles en moi -sant la structure du noeud.Figures 4 and 5 show the attachment of single or double bars by me -sant the structure of the knot.

La figure 6 montre la possibilité d'avoir des barres traversant le noeud fixees au passage ou non sur celui-ci.Passage de conduites de fluides dans le bâtiment par exemple.Figure 6 shows the possibility of having bars crossing the node fixed to the passage or not on it. Passage of fluid lines in the building for example.

La figure 7 montre la fixation de barres s'imbriquants à l'intérieur du noeud dans sa partie évidée.Figure 7 shows the fixing of bars overlapping inside the knot in its hollowed out part.

La figure 8 montre la possibilité de fixation d'un nombre de barres dans un même plan,non limitatif suivant la surface offerte par la structure du noeud.Figure 8 shows the possibility of fixing a number of bars in the same plane, without limitation depending on the surface offered by the structure of the node.

Des résilles tridimentionnelles planes ou courbes peuvent être obtenues avec le noeud de l'invention,et dans ce cas il faudra prévoir l'assemblage des elements de bases 4 par 4 pour obtenir des demies sphères, ou directement par découpe et soudure de couronnes et demies couronnes,tel que préalablement décrit pour obtenir des demies spheres.A l'assemblage des deux demies sphères, l'une devra pivoter dans le plan horizontal,par rapport à l'autre de 45".La piece ainsi obtenue pourra être réalisée directement par moulage d'un matériau quelconque.Illustration par le Schéma A de la Figure 9. Flat or curved three-dimensional nets can be obtained with the knot of the invention, and in this case it will be necessary to provide for the assembly of the basic elements 4 by 4 to obtain half spheres, or directly by cutting and welding of crowns and half crowns, as previously described to obtain half spheres. When assembling the two half spheres, one must pivot in the horizontal plane, relative to the other by 45 ". The part thus obtained can be produced directly by molding of any material. Illustration by Diagram A in Figure 9.
