Abstract

A structure for pallets, flooring, panelling and fencing, which comprises: multiple parallel and side-by-side aligned logs in which each log has a smooth surface facing outward to form a smooth assembly surface, the logs can be selected from one of the following group: half-logs which are longitudinally cut along the small diameter logs so that the smooth surface that was cut facing outward, quarter-logs which are cut twice along the longitudinal direction and the diameter to form right angle sectors in which the quarter-logs are connected in pairs so that the arc surfaces of each pair are inwardly facing each other and the smoothly cut surfaces are side-by-side neatly facing outward; and conventional sheets; at least tow support rails, which are spaces and transversally installed on the inner arc sides of the logs, in which the arc sides are opposite to the smoothly cut surfaces, and the support rails are selected from one of the following group: converted log beams and conventional sheet beams in which each converted log beam comprises: four belts with same dimensions which are longitudinally cut from at least one log in which each log part is cut into three-sided cross-sectional outline in which two sides are smooth and perpendicular to each other, the third side is selected from one of the following group: a cross section with an arc outline so that the log parts have right angle sectors, and a cross section with smooth outline so that the log parts have right angle sectors; and a fixing device which is used to reliably fix the four rectangular log parts with same dimensions together so that during assembly, the third sides of the rectangular log parts are inwardly facing each other, and the other two sides are facing outwards, so that the assembled log product has approximately rectangular cross sectional outline, in which the fixing device comprises multiple spacers located between two pairs of log parts to divide them apart in which the spaces are dividing the four log parts apart in the length direction so that one side in the two pairs of log parts is facing upward to form a hollow space; a connection device which is used to connect each log and each support rail together in the final assembly; and a buffer device which is used to offset the thickness variation, irregularity and taper of logs in order to ensure structural neatness of the final assembly.
