Definitions

  • ABSTRACT 1 position in which the two arms are at right angles to the platform and parallel to each other so that roof elements may be inserted between the arms, each arm being provided with at least one lengthwise support groove for slidably receiving and supporting a cooperating part of each of a plurality of roof elements.
  • the present invention relates to the construction of traveling buildings, i.e., to buildings that are put up and taken down rapidly for transporting on the road.
  • the invention relates more particularly to the putting up, taking down and arranging of roof elements for shipping.
  • reference will be made more particularly to the case of a traveling skooter rink, but it is understood that the use of the invention is in no way limited by this case.
  • a skooter rink essentially consists of a track, generally rectangular in shape, surrounded by pillars connected at their upper part by beams on which rest the roof elements supporting the power intake grid for the trolleys of the electric vehicles.
  • each of these elements generally has the shape of a trough turned upside down with a bottom bulging outward with two divergent plane side walls, and, at the time of placement, the troughs are connected by interlocking of their edges.
  • the roof should be rainproof and protect from the rain the spectators who are on the peripheral walk and in front of the railing.
  • polyester elements for shipping, the polyester elements, after the roof has been taken down, are superposed and fitted on to one another'on a bed of a trailer, which also carries an elevator system assuring the vertical movement of the elements.
  • the present invention is proposed to perform the putting up, taking down and stacking of the roof elements for shipping by semi-automatic means requiring minimum handling time.
  • a trailer for transporting stacks of roof elements, particularly of polyester, and which can be used for putting up and taking down this roof, characterized in that the rectangular platform of the trailer carries at each corners a post at the top of .which is connected an arm able to pivot 90 in'a horizontal plane to pass from a position of rest lengthwise to the sideboard of the trailer to a perpendicular working position outside the trailer and back again, each arm being provided with lengthwise grooves in which, at the time of putting up and taking down of the roof, can roll guide and support rollers, carried by the end sections of the polyester elements, and this occurs at the level corresponding to that of its roof.
  • the trailer by its platform, is made a part of the track and is placed in the middle of the track.
  • the trailer is a part of the track and is at one end of the track.
  • the trailer is independent of the track, but it is temporarily placed at the end of the track at the time of putting up and taking down the roof.
  • FIG. is a plan view of the track of the rink with its peripheral walk.
  • FIG. 3 is a perspective view of the chassis of the trailer with a sideboard laid horizontal and showing the device according to the invention, supposed at rest, for putting up and taking down the rink roof-
  • FIG. 4 is a partial view in section of the rink roof showing the lateral sliding of a polyester element along the arm of the device according to the invention.
  • FIG. 5 is a lengthwise section of a completed assembled roof.
  • the track then is made up of the platform and sideboards of the trailer with sheets 13; it is surrounded by a peripheral wood walk 14 sepa rated from the track by a rail 15, for example, a drawn sheet strip put. up around the track.
  • FIG. 2 can be seen the floor or platform 10 of the trailer with the two sideboards 11 and 12 raised vertically.
  • the 11 roof elements are stacked on anelevator 16 which is driven, at the time ofthe up and down movements, by a motor, not shown, or a hand winch;
  • the end of the power intake grid 17, in a roll on the platform, is also attached to this elevator, which is supposed here to be a frame for simplifiication.
  • the l l polyester elements all have the same general shape of an upturned trough; but in FIG. 2 there should be distinguished the upper five elements 18 forming the 7 right part of the roof, the following five elements 19 forming the left part and the last lower element 20 being the roof of the trailer.
  • each element 18 ends in a small gutter 21 serving for runoff of the rain and tight fitting on the left edge of the adjacent element; the left edge of each element 19 has the same shape of asmall gutter 22 playing the identical role on the left side of the roof; finally, element 20 above the trailer is provided on each side with the same small gutter 23, 24 to assure, with runoff of the rain, the connection. between the left and right parts of the roof.
  • the assembled roof therefore in section has, crosswise to the polyester elements, the profile shown by HG. 5 and the dimensions are such that the roof, extended peripherally by eaves, assures protection from the weather for the track and its walk; gutters 21, 22, 23 and 24 should be sloped slightly to facilitatecollecb ing of the water toward the outside.
  • each roof element is provided with two neon tubes to light the track at: night; placement of these tubes is such that it is not necessary to remove them during stacking for shipping-,in FIG. 2 are shown by 25 these lighting tubes for the ensemble of the roof elements.
  • the trailer is assumed to be loaded but stopped on a site where the rink will be built; for better showing of the organs of the device for putting the roof in place, only polyester elements l9 constituting the left part of the roof are shown.
  • Elevator 16 is. in the low position, while only sideboard 11 of the trailer is vertical.
  • the trains of carrying wheels 26 can be seen under platform and also jacks 27 can be seen which serve to regulate the horizontal position of the plane 'of the platform; en route, these jacks are lifted and fixed under the platform.
  • the device for putting in place the roof elements is made up of four identical pillars 28 mounted at the four comers of the platform; each of these pillars is surmounted by a vertical shaft serving as the end pivot of a horizontal arm 29 which can be a trellis girder whose length corresponds to that of the portion of the roof to be supported; on each side of the trailer, the two adjacent arms 29at rest are placed horizontal against one another and lengthwise to the plane of the sideboard; each sideboard is connected to an elevator not shown, at each end by a taut cable passing through a pulley attached to' the upper part of adjacent pillar 28; there is shown in the figure a single cable 30 passing through corresponding pulley 31; thus the raising of this elevator will automatically cause the progressive bending out of the sideboards in the horizontal plane of platform 10.
  • FIG. 4 shows, in a section perpendicular to one of arms 29 in working position, how any element 18 or 19 form the same maneuver with the following element and so, both on the right and left side of the roof. During assembly, care is taken that all the roof elements are interlocked successively, as indicated by FIG. 5.
  • Passage from the stack position to the position of FIG. 5 can be facilitated by use of an intermediate crosspiece mounted temporarily between two adjacent pillars 28.
  • the end of grid 17, fastened to the elevator, is at the same time in high position, the roll being partly unwound; the grid is then unwound and fastened under the roof, the eaves are put in place and the track laid and the accessory installations arranged.
  • each arm, to be placed in rest position should be in two articulated sections that can fold against one another; the platform and sideboards of the trailer can be incorporated or not in the track and its surroundings.
  • the trailer can be independent of the track and can be used simply for transporting the roof elements and the device for mounting it (case 0, cited above). Outside the installation of the rink, the trailer is placed at the end of the track and, for example, arms 29, deployed in the working position are disconnected from'pillars 28'after anchoring to the pillars of the end of the track.
  • elevator 16 can be replaced by a lifting crane carried by the trailer to lift the successive is guided and'supported during and after assembly of the roof. 1
  • each arm carries laterally two lengthwise rolling grooves 32, 33 directed toward the inside in relation to the'track (working) or the trailer (rest).
  • Each roof element (18, 19) is provided at each end with rollers 34 with a vertical shaft and rollers 35 with lengthwise shaft intended to work with these grooves: rollers 34 assure the guiding by rolling in the bottom of upper groove 32, while rollers 35 assure carrying by rolling between the walls of lower groove 33; in general, each element l8, 19 will be provided on the end section with a pair of rollers 34 and 35 placed symmetrically at the end of the divergent walls of the trough.
  • Putting the roof in place is then performed under the following conditions: the trailer being parked as indicated by FIG. 3, the frame (pillars and crosspieces) of the rink is previously assembled. Then, successively each arm 29 is put in the working position where they come to rest on the end supports; then elevator 16 is raised one step, i.e., until the first element 18 is at the horizontal level of the roof, the rollers being opposite the entry of the grooves; this element is shoved or pulled toward the right, it is rolled and guided into corresponding grooves 32 and 33 until its final placement in the roofielevator '16 is raised a second step to perelements of the roofto the level of the sliding grooves.
  • the invention also obviously applies to stationary buildings such as, for example, those which at certain periods, seasons, or even periods of the day, have to be covered or uncovered temporarily.
  • stationary buildings such as, for example, those which at certain periods, seasons, or even periods of the day, have to be covered or uncovered temporarily.
  • swimming pools or green houses could be equipped with such removeable roofs.
  • a trailer for transporting a stack of roof elements and for subsequently supporting the roof elements in edge-to-edge relationship in' essentially a single hori zontal plane, said trailer comprising a generally horizontal rectangular platform carrying an upstanding pillar at each of at least two adjacent corners; a support arm pivoted at one end to the upper end of each pillar for swinging movement in a horizontal plane between an at-rest position parallel to the platform and a working position in which the two arms are at right angles to the platform and parallel to each other so that roof elements may be inserted between the arms, each arm being provided with at least one lengthwise support groove for slidably receiving and supporting a cooperating part of each of a plurality of roof elements.
  • a trailer as in claim 1 including a side board hinged to each longitudinal edge of the platform for swinging movement between a vertical position and a horizontal lateral position.
  • a trailer as in claim 1 including elevator means forming part of the trailer for raising a stack of room elements upwardly from the platform so that each roof element can be brought in sequence to the elevation of the arms.
  • a trailer as in claim 1 in combination with a plurality of roof elements having a length and width about equal to the length and width, respectively, of the platform, each roof element having means at its ends for cooperating with the support grooves in said arms.
