Numerous vertical construction elements connected together in this way provide a rigid lattice-work which may be useful, for example, as a temporary roof for an exhibition hall or arena. <IMAGE>
Description
SPECIFICATION Dismantable lattice-work construction
This invention relates to a three-dimensional lattice-work construction which is capable of being dismantled and consists, for example, of metal tube scaffolding, comprising vertical construction elements having circular disc-shaped connecting flanges which are provided with apertures and to which construction elements are provided with apertures and to which construction elements which are not arranged vertically are connected by means of connecting shoes, each having a horizontal slot opening towards the respective end face, and are secured by wedges extending through vertical guide channels.
Lattice-work constructions of this kind are known and are described, for example, in German Patent
No. 2449 124.
The object of the invention is to provide, in such a lattice-work construction, the possibility of connecting a further vertical construction element upwardly or downwardly to any desired connection point of a vertical construction element in such a way that its longitudinal axis is offset relative to the longitudinal axis of the vertical construction element to which it is connected.
In accordance with the invention, this object is achieved in that, a lattice-work construction of the kind described at the beginning hereof includes diagonally-arranged construction elements each consisting of a cylindrical or tubular member at each end of which a connecting shoe is mounted in such a way that the longitudinal axis of the member, arranged in a vertical plane extending through the longitudinal axis of the vertical construction elements to which it is connected, forms an obtuse angle with the horizontal central plane of the slot, opening towards the end face, of each of the two connecting shoes.
Various possibilities of use and advantages of this lattice-work construction will be described hereinunder with reference to the accompanying drawings, in which:
Figure 1 is a side view of one diagonally-arranged construction element in a lattice-work construction in accordance with the invention;
Figure 2 is a plan view of the lower connection point between the construction element of Fig. 1 and a vertical construction element;
Figure 3 is a plan view of the connection point between four diagonally arranged construction elements and a further extending vertical construction element, in a lattice-work construction in accordance with the invention;
Figure 4 is a side view of the connection point of
Fig. 3 with one diagonally arranged element omitted for clarity;
Figure 5 is a view similar to Fig. 4 including a special type of vertical construction element;;
Figure 6 is a highly-schematised plan of one embodiment of the lattice-work construction of the invention; and
Figure 7 is a schematised side view of the lattice
work construction of Fig. 6.
In Figure 1 a construction element 4 is connected
at connection point 11 to the connecting flange 2
of a vertical construction element 1 which is shown
in dot-dash lines. The construction element 4 extends diagonally obliquely upwards from the con
nection point 11. At the upper end of this
diagonally-arranged construction element 4, a further vertical construction element 1' is connected at connection point 11'. This vertical construction element 1' is connected to the element 4 by means of its connection flange 2' in such a way that its longitudinal axis A'-A' is offset laterally relative to the longitudinal axis A-A of the first vertical construction element 1, so it does not represent a coaxial extension of a vertical construction element arranged thereunder.
The diagonally-extending construction element 4 consists of a tubular member 5 at the respective ends of which connection shoes 6 and 6' of known type (see German Patent No. 24 49 124) are mounted. Each connection shoe 6, 6' has a slot which opens towards its end face and into which the respective connecting flange 2, 2' engages. The connection shoes 6, 6' are secured on the respective connecting flanges 2, 2' by means of wedges 7, 7'.
The connecting flanges 6, 6' are fastened at 56, or respectively 56', to the tubular member 5 in such a way that the longitudinal axis L of the tubular member 5, in a vertical plane (identical with the drawing plane) which also extends through the longitudinal axis A-A of the vertical construction element 1, or respectively the axis A'-A' of the vertical construction element 1', forms the same obtuse angle a, or respectively ' with the horizontal central planes M, M' of the slots provided in the connection shoes 6, 6'.
The dimensions of the construction element 4 (i.e. tube length and angles a ') are chosen depending on the special problems to be solved by the construction element. Generally, the angles a, a of the example illustrated in Figure 1 would advantageously each be about 135 , whilst the length of the tubular member 5 would be adapted to the individual case. However other dimensions are also possible.
Figure 2 is a plan view of the connection point 11 viewing along the horizontal section ll-ll in Figure 1. Apertures 21, 22, which are alternatively differently shaped (see German Patent No 2449 124) are provided in the connecting flange 2 and serve to receive the wedges 7.
In order to ensure the requisite stability of the vertical construction element 1' which extends further in offset manner and/or to ensure that this element 1' satisfactorily maintains its vertical alignment, the two vertical construction elements 1 and 1' may extend parallel to one another for a distance and be connected to one another by at least two diagonally-extending construction elements 4 which are arranged parallel one above the other. It is also possible for several vertical construction elements 1 to support the vertical construction element 1' that is to extend further in offset manner by means of two or more diagonally-extending construction element 4. A special arrangement of this kind is shown in Figures 3 and 4.
Figure 3 is a plan view showing a vertical construction element 1' which extends further offset from other vertical elements to which it is connected by diagonal element 4. Acting on one connecting flange 2' of the element 1' are four diagonal construction elements 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, which are arranged in two planes X-X, Y-Y intersecting one another at right angles. The lower ends of these elements 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, are secured to four vertical construction elements (not shown in the drawing) erected above the corner points of a square in the manner described with reference to
Figure 1.
Figure 4 shows this arrangement in side view, in which respect for the sake of clarity, the construction element 4d connected at B to the connecting flange 2' has been omitted from the drawing.
The arrangement shown in Figure 5 is very similar to the arrangement described above with reference to Figure 3 and Figure 4. In Fig. 5, however, the vertical construction element 3 which is connected in offset manner by means of diagonal elements 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d, is of a special type. It consists of a short tubular member 31 which is provided, in its horizontal central plane, with a connecting flange 32. This short tubular member 31 projects at top and bottom only a slight amount beyond the connection shoes 6' of the diagonally-arranged construction elements 4A, 4b, 4c, 4d. The tubular member 31 is terminated at each end by a horizontal ring-shaped flat surface 33', 33". A plan view of this arrangement would be identical to the representation in Figure 3. In Figure 5, in the same way as in Figure 4, the diagonal construction element 4d is omitted at B on account of clarity.
The special short tubular member 3 can, of course, be used for connecting the lower connection shoes of diagonally-arranged construction elements 4 in the same way as it has been shown for connection of the upper shoes. In this way, a flat horizontal lattice-work construction which consists of two parallel construction planes connected together by diagonal construction elements 4 and which is rigid in itself can be produced as shown in Figures 6 and 7.
In Figure 6, the horizontal construction elements 8 forming the lower of the two parallel construction planes are represented by dot-dash straight lines and the horizontal construction elements 9 forming the upper construction plane are represented by solid straight lines. In order to produce a horizontal construction which covers a fairly large area and which serves, for example, to roof over this area by means of tarpaulins fastened thereto, special short tubular members 3 are arranged at the corner points of squares linking to one another, which members 3 are connected together by, for example, horizontal construction elements 8 secured to the apertures 21 (see Figure 2) of the connecting flanges 32 of the special members 3 and which form lower connection points 11.Diagonal construction elements 5a, 5b, 5c, 5d, are connected to the apertures 22, between the apertures 21, by means of wedges. These diagonal elements 5a, Sb, 5c, 5d extend obliquely upwards and are connected, in the manner evident from Figure 5, to the special tubular members 3 which represent connection points 11' in the upper construction plane.
In the same way as in the lower construction plane, the connection points 11' are connected by horizontal connection elements 9. These elements 9 are fastened to the apertures 22' (see Figure 3) provided between the apertures 21' serving for the fastening of the diagonal construction elements 5a, Sb, 5c, 5d. In this way there arises a lattice-work construction which is rigid in itself and which consists of two construction planes lying parallel to one another at the spacing determined by the diagonal construction element. Each construction plane is composed of squares formed by horizontal construction elements 8, 9. Such a horizontal lattice-work construction is suitable for serving, for example, as a cover for a temporary exhibition hall, recreation area or sports arena at a public festival or as protection for archaeological earthworks.
The necessary tarpaulins can be secured without difficulty to the horizontal construction elements of the upper construction plane.
