Definitions
- the present invention relates to an inflatable vault with a double poly-lobed wall, of which only the air space between the two walls is pressurized, thus leaving the space which it covers at ambient pressure.
- these inflatable vaults comprise a plurality of longitudinal beams arranged side by side, means for sliding at least one extremi. longitudinal of the beams along at least one deployment or folding path and means for supplying said beams with inflation fluid.
- This type of vault is designed, among other things, to allow its deployment by simple inflation, as well as its retraction by deflation, which allows at will to cover a space in order to protect it from bad weather and to discover it in good weather.
- Such a vault can be used to temporarily cover large-scale installations, such as stadiums with stands reserved for spectators. In this case, it represents a huge area of fabric, weighing from 50 to 100 tonnes, which is impossible to carry out in the factory, to transport and install in one completely finished set.
- the vault is made of several elements, it is advisable, on the one hand, that these elements are completely completed, tested in the factory, in particular to check their tightness and, on the other hand, that the mounting of these elements between them is easy, fast and does not require any expensive site equipment.
- arches of this type which can be deployed and retracted by simple inflation and deflation, where only the space between the two walls is pressurized and which are described in particular in patents FR-A-2 166 397 and FR-A-2 326 544.
- the patent FR-A-2 166 397 relates to an inflatable structure comprising a succession of inflatable boxes which bear on each other when they are inflated and that they are placed between two sheets to which they are fixed, lesdi es sheets being stretched by the boxes during inflation of the structure. Given the design of this structure, it cannot be applied to large-scale constructions, which is one of the objectives which the present invention proposes to achieve.
- Patent FR-A-2 326 544 relates to a flexible inflatable structure consisting of a nave with at least two walls, deployable and collapsible or retractable, composed of a series of contiguous flattened and pressurizable enclosures, of which the dividing partitions, brace the external and internal and possibly median walls of said nave.
- the multiple elements making up the vault are therefore simple elementary panels of waterproof fabric which it is necessary to assemble on site to make continuous connections which are both resistant and waterproof over great lengths, which requires tolerances of very precise manufacturing and an important and delicate work of assembly on site not guaranteeing the total reliability of the product obtained.
- each beam has two opposite panels forming flanges and each constituting one of the lobes of the interior or exterior wall of the arch and two lateral panels forming webs of the beam .
- the homologous panels of the adjacent beams your are connected to each other by means of discontinuous mechanical connecting means comprising, on the one hand, a series of flaps extending the panels of each beam along at least one of their longitudinal edges e on the other hand, a plurality profiles threaded u behind the others, simultaneously from one end to the other of each of said flaps to be joined.
- each beam is made up of two independent panels, the corresponding flaps of which must be introduced into the profiles at the same time as the flaps of the panels of the adjacent beam, and this on the entire length of the beams.
- the object of the present invention is to provide an inflatable voû whose assembly of inflated hollow beams is facilitated.
- the present invention has for object an inflatable arch with a double wall polylobee deployable and retractable, confining a layer of inter-wall air under pressure and composed of a plurality of hollow inflatable beams, distinct and arranged side by side, each beam comprising four zones, two lateral zones of which form the cores and two respectively lower and upper zones forming the flanges of said beam, characterized in that each beam is formed by a single continuous envelope ensuring the continuity of the sealing of the volume which It confines and in that the homologous webs of the contiguous beams are held vis-à-vis by continuous and longitudinal flaps, fixed on said envelope of each beam between the webs and the flanges e comprising mechanical means of connection with the flap counterpart of the contiguous beam.
- each continuous flap is formed by a T-shaped profile, the two wings of which are fixed to the envelope of each beam and the central tab of which is intended to receive said mechanical connecting means,
- the profile is formed by folding at least one strip of coated fabric
- the mechanical connection means include:
- Each tab of the flaps is formed of two parallel lips between which is fixed a ribbon supporting one of the two half-parts of the corresponding zipper, - the cores and the soles forming the continuous envelope of each beam are formed by intersecting surfaces, said flaps being fixed along and on either side of the intersections of said surfaces, these webs and the soles forming the envelope the beam of each beam are formed by surfaces tangent to each other, said flaps being fixed along the lines of tangency of said surfaces,
- the flaps located on the same side of each beam are continuous and form a loop at each end of said beam.
- the inflatable arch comprises movable support fittings, arranged between the ends of two contiguous beams and connected to the flaps of said contiguous beams, at the end loops of said flaps, by fixing means, the said cooperating support fittings with a fixed base provided with guide means, the profile of which determines a path for deployment and folding of each of said beams,
- the fixing means are formed by bolted bars tightening the tongue of two contiguous flaps.
- Fig. 1 is a schematic view of the assembly of a vault according to the invention, in section along a plane parallel to the direction of its deployment,
- FIG. 2 is a schematic sectional view of a portion of the vault according to a first embodiment of the invention
- FIG. 3 st is a schematic sectional view of a portion of the vault Ion a second embodiment of the invention
- - Fig. 4 is a sectional view of a first embodiment of the mechanical means for connecting two contiguous beams
- - Fig. 5 is a top view of the mechanical connecting means of FIG. 4,
- - Fig. 6 is a sectional view along line 6-6 of FIG. 5
- - Fig. 7 is a sectional view of a second embodiment of the mechanical means for connecting two contiguous beams
- FIG. 8 is a schematic view of one end of a beam of the vault according to the invention
- FIG. 9 is a sectional view of the fixing means on two contiguous beams of the support fittings.
- an inflatable and deployable and retractable double-walled inflatable vault has been schematically designated as a whole by the reference 1.
- This vault 1 confines a volume of inter-wall air under pressure and is composed of a plurality of inflatable hollow beams A, B, C ..., N which are distinct and watertight and which are arranged side by side.
- Each beam A, B, C, ... is made up of a continuous envelope 2 ensuring the continuity of the tightness of the volume which it confines and composed of four zones of which two lateral zones form the cores 3 and 4 and of which two respectively upper and lower zones form the flanges 5 and 6 of each beam.
- the cores 3 and 4 and the flanges 5 and 6 forming the continuous envelope 2 of each beam A, B, C, ... are formed by intersecting surfaces at four intersections 7.
