Definitions

  • This invention relates to sheds for airships, aeroplanes and the like, and refers to an improved'construction of building of the class in question, which enables the shed or the like to ⁇ be ⁇ erected or put together with great facility, the structure moreover being extremely light and yet far stronger than the ordinary shed as at present constructed;
  • a primary object of the invention is to construct the principal units or members of the framework, in such a way that they are eX- tremely strong,V are easily adapted' tobe placed in position upon the ground, Vcan easilyv be transported from place to place and rapidly put together whenthe shed has to be erected.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide bridges or their equivalents at the eaves and'beneath the ridge, which bridges facili-v tate the placing'in position l.of the canvas for the walls and roof and enable access to be obtained to a balloon or the like inthe shed.
  • Another object of the invention is to provide, preferably in connection with the bridges located beneath the eaves, lacing boards vfor facilitating the attachment of the canvas for the walls and'roof'.
  • Another object of the invention is to construct the canvas covering constituting Vthe roof in such a way that naps are formed at theLA edges which are attached in a special manner in order to prevent the entry of wet and toenable the structure to withstand wind pressure.
  • Figure l is a front elevation ofthe frame-k work of the shed; in oositio'n, intended more particularly. to illustrate the construction of one of the principal units.
  • Fig. l2L is a yplan of asection of the roof
  • lb is a side elevation of portion of the framework of the shed.
  • Fig-2 isa detail view on an enlarged scale showing the method of securing the roof portion-to the top of the stanchions, and illustrating also one of the bridges and the board for lacing vthe canvas covering to the structure.
  • Fig; 3 is a side view showing the method of Ylacing the canvas covering to the roof and sides.
  • Fig; 3a is a detail view showing a rear portion of the lacing board seen from the inside of the shed.
  • c Aligfl? is a sectional OfFlg. 2;
  • Figs. 4 and 5 show sections of the membersused for the construction of the principal unitsofl the framework.
  • Fig. 6 shows complete shed erected with the covering in position.
  • each of the principal constructional units comprises two triangular stanchions ortrusses connected at their upper end by arched portions to be hereinafter' described.
  • Each of the triangular stanchions consistsrof vertical members al, buttress members a2, horizontal struts a3 andv diagonal struts a4'.
  • the element may be made of double 'T section comprising two webs d each glued into a corresponding groove and fixed in Aposition by means of screws e. 1 .Each of the stanchions or trusses is pr'ovided with 'a lower horizontal member or sill f,- adapted to rest upon the ground.
  • The-portion of the principal unit connectingv the side stanchions comprises' a laminated arch g, the parts of which are bolted together. It may be constructed with the use of a templet to give the required form.
  • the laminated portion of the arch is supported by means of struts 7L and in the neighborhood of the eaves by laminated struts which are in turn connected to rafters 7c extending from the tops of the stanchions at the eaves to the ridge m, as will be seen.A clearly inthe drawing.
  • brackets .11 carriedby and'located some distance from the topjof Vthe verticall members'V at of'I the triangular stanchions, while the outer ends of the rafter Ic vvare secured'tothe top of the stanchions by plates 11C;
  • any suitable number of these principal units are provided and they vare raised into a vertical pofsiticn at suitable distances apart. They are connected together by 'longitudinally Y eX- tending stretchers located at the ridge m at'.
  • bridge also facilitates the process of erection of the shed.
  • Other bridges wk are also provided, one onv each l side'coming underneaththeeavesfor facilitating the erection of the shed andV for obl tainingy access to the sides of thel airship orth'e like.1
  • Y Y These bridges are formed in sections adapted to fit between the principal units, as shownvin Fig. 3b, and have rigidly connected'to them lthe lacing boards about t0 be described.
  • VThe canvas covering 1() for the walls of thestructure is provided'with a series of VeyestFig. 3)V ⁇ atyits ,upper edge through upperv edge of the boardV through l(the next eye of the covering and soon. rl ⁇ he covering is attached in a similar manner to the bottom of the sidewalls by means of a lacing kboard 3 (Fig. 6), as will be readily understood, but/in this 'case the rod k2 may, if necessary be dispensed-with .and the board perforated to receive the rope or cord as shown in Fig. 6.-
  • the canvas covering lla of theroof portion,'which"is kentirely separate from vthe covering of the walls of the struct-ure has attached toits edges la iap or extension 1lb having a series ofi'eyes formed thereon by means offwhichfsaid lcovering is secured to the' inner side ofthe lacing board to the longitudinal rods 2.
  • the ropes l2 are successivelyf'passed ⁇ through the eyes of the flap 1lb under the.v rod 2 and up lthrough the .next adjacent eye as will be clearly'seen in Fig.
  • Any necessary guy ropes such as those indicated at 6, Fig. 6, are provided suitably anchored to the ground.r
  • the ends of the shed are closed by means ofcanvas curtains arranged so as'to form the shape of the prow of a vessel. These curtains are attached to the inneredge of the end principal unit, by means Yof .alacing board asA previously described, and the lcurtains 'are provided with any desired number of rows of ropes forming guys properly anchored to the ground.
