Abstract

The invention concerns an efficient device for exploiting the natural varying elements of wind, heat and light inside a building by means of a movable roof surmounted by glass panes inclined at 60 DEG . It consists of a fixed structure 1 on which pneumatic rollers 2 are arranged, some of them being controlled 3 by an electric motor 4 in order to turn a tubular structure 10 equipped with opaque 30 DEG faces 11 and glazed 60 DEG faces 12 of fixed panes 13 and of movable panes 14. This structure 10 is placed on a girderage 8 connected to the raceway 9 and to the pivot 7. Pivot 7 which retransmits the forces to the fixed pivot pin 5 by way of a ball bearing 6.

DESCRIPTION
MOBILE ROOFING DEVICE FOR ADAPTING A BUILDING
IN CLIMATE WIND CONDITIONS. OF TEMPERATURE AND I-MINOSITY OF ITS ENVIRONMENT
The present invention relates to a mobile roofing device for adapting a building to the climatic conditions of wind, heat and light which surrounds it.

 Man has always sought to protect himself from the most unfavorable climatic conditions by constructions whose openings are oriented according to a compromise between his needs for light, heat, ventilation and the rigors of the climate.

 In order to improve this compromise, transformation or deviation methods, therefore with a loss of natural energy -the initial exist.

. solar panels
. wind turbines
. sun visor
. etc.

 No process takes into account, in its very essence, the daily directional mobility character of wind, light and heat in order to exploit them directly and for the entire building.

The device according to the invention therefore makes it possible to capture or oppose the effects of wind, light and heat in a building through opening skylights
inclined at 60 and arranged on a mobile beam around an axis.

The attached drawing illustrates the invention:
It comprises a movable roof articulated on a fixed pivot axis (5).

The rotational movement of the roof is transmitted to the pivot axis via a ball bearing (6)
The mobile roof consists of 8 converging beams, strictly horizontal (8) towards a metallic pivot on which they are fixed.

The diverging ends of the 8 horizontal beams are connected by a circle consisting of an inverted metal "U" serving as a raceway (9)
These movable horizontal beams are surmounted by a metallic tubular structure (10) which braces them
This metallic tubular structure is composed, in the square part inscribed in the circle of the ho -rizontal beam, of inclined pan at 30s (11) covered, opaque and thermally insulated and inclined sections at 60 (12) furnished with fixed overhead windows (13) and working (14) in egaloc numbers.

The projection on the ground of the building, materialized by the fixed structure (1) is, it, square configuration
In the upper part of this fixed structure are registered tangent horizontal beams of the raceway
On these tangential fixed beams are fixed pneumatic rollers (2) penetrating the raceway in order to guide the movable roof and in order to drive it by the 4 pneumatic rollers (3) coupled to an electric motor (4 )
Operation:
The inclination configuration of the overhead glazing at 60 = makes it possible to approach the average value of the inclination of the sun's rays significantly during the winter.

On the other hand, during hot periods when the caloric intake is overabundant, the device makes it possible to orient oneself in contrast to the solar radiation and / or to open the glazing for ventilation.
The device according to the invention is connected to fixed sensors:
anemometer and wind vane (wind
. silicon wafers (brightness)
outdoor thermometers
. indoor thermometers
The external temperature and light sensors are arranged on a truncated cone inclined at 60 by analogy with the configuration of exchange of the building with its environment.
The device according to the invention is electronically controlled
So the device reads the sensors and acts on
. the roller drive motors
glazing operating motors
zenithaux
According to a variant, the operation can be all or part computerized.

The device according to the invention is particularly intended for any room that the presence of a central pole does not interfere

. mall
. Museum . etc ...
