Definitions

  • the structural element can be rendered curved, there being no limit to the number of possible shapes in this respect.
  • the curved shape has the particular advantage that e.g. a hall or an archway or, for instance, other self-standing structures requiring no further supporting means can now be formed.
  • FIG. 5 is a simplified diagrammatic view of a third example embodiment of a structural element in accordance with the invention shown stretched.
  • FIG. 3 there is illustrated that when the stretch elements 12 of the third fabric layer III are pressurized by inflation of the air chambers, a curvature or arching of the textile structural element 1 in accordance with the invention materializes.
  • By inflating the stretch elements 12 they become shorter and pull the attachment points 4 and thus also the parts of the supporting elements 21 fixed there towards each other, resulting ultimately in the arching of the entire structural element 1 .
  • the uninflated stretch elements 11 are stretched. It is only for a better understanding that the “empty” air chambers 31 are indicated therein.
  • FIGS. 7 to 9 there is illustrated a further, fifth example embodiment of a textile structural element 105 , similar to those of FIGS. 1 to 3 , except that now as illustrated here, the fifth example embodiment features in the first fabric layer I first stretch elements 61 of sheet woven fabric, and in the second and third fabric layer II, III, supporting elements 21 and stretch elements 12 , both being formed as OPW fabric.
  • the length of the first stretch elements 61 made of sheet fabric, thus shown curved, is greater than the length of the second stretch elements 12 , with the result that the development of the textile structural element 105 upon pressurization of the inflatable chambers of the supporting elements 21 and the second stretch elements 12 of FIG. 7 via FIG. 8 leads to the curved position as shown in FIG. 9 .
