Description

Telescopic Structural Beams Technical Field

This invention is in the field of buildings construction and architectural design. It demonstrates a new structural component comprised of a number of telescopic structural beams that are able to move and change the structural skeleton which accordingly changes the shape and design of the building. Background Art

In our world there are many different types of buildings such as residential, commercial, industrial, educational, recreational, medical, et cetera. Each of these has its own unique architectural design that is usually hard to be transformed after construction.

This invention enables us to essentially transform, or "morph", a previously constructed building (given that it has the forthcoming attributes in its original design) into several different designs that can adapt to various circumstances that can affect the built environment such as: (1) changes in temperature, sun orientation or wind direction; (2) changes in the needs or desires of the building's users towards the building's functionality; (3) changes in the type/class of the building (e.g., residential to commercial, educational to industrial, etc.); (4) changes in the appropriate building area according to changes in the number of users; (5) changes in the building height or number of stories; (6) the need for movable parts of the building such as ceilings, exterior walls, or openings; (7) changes in the shape of the building or part of it. hi addition to the aforementioned, this invention enables us to dismantle and transfer the building to another site or even store the complete building after disassembly to be used later. Moreover; due to the attributes of functional adaptability that are characteristic in the telescopic structural beams, buildings that structurally apply this invention at the skeletal level will have inherent earthquake resistance. Disclosure of Invention

This invention demonstrates a structural component comprised of a number of telescopic structural beams and a column. Each telescopic structural beam is supported at one end on the column by a spherical joint and the other end is free. FIG.l and FIG.2 shows schematically a top and side view, respectively for two of said structural components. The spherical joint enables the telescopic structural beam to rotate with three degrees of freedom as shown in FIG.3. Each telescopic structural beam comprises a plurality of telescopically-interconnected members that can tangentially protract and retract as shown in FIG.4. According to the ability of the telescopic structural beam to rotate with three degrees of freedom and change its span, the free ends of the telescopic structural beams can move and change their positions in space. FIG.5 and FIG.6 illustrate two examples of different movements of the telescopic structural beams to relocate the positions of the free ends as previously explained.

To clarify the mechanism of the structural component, let us assume that we use a component with 16 telescopic structural beams as shown as a diagrammatic top view in FIG.7. The free ends of the telescopic structural beams are symbolized in English letters, respectively, as follows: Al, Bl, Cl, Dl, A2, B2, C2, D2, A3, B3, C3, D3, A4, B4, C4, and D4. The letter "O" stands for the center point as illustrated in the figure. The 16 free ends are connected respectively with lines to clarify their relative positions to each other as shown in FIG.8.

The 16 free ends of the telescopic structural beams can be divided in many ways. For example, they can be divided into 2 groups each one including 8 points, or 4 groups each one including 4 points, or 2 groups where the first group includes 12 points and the second includes 4 points, etc. Assuming we have chosen to divide the 16 free ends into 4 groups, each group including 4 points. According to this division, the first group includes the points (Al, A2, A3, A4), the second group includes the points (Bl, B2, B3, B4), the third group includes the points (Cl, C2, C3, C4), and the fourth group includes the points (Dl, D2, D3, D4).

Now we can select any one of four said groups and move its telescopic structural beams specific movements. As an example we will horizontally extend the span of the telescopic structural beams of the first group to get the points Al, A2, A3, and A4 away from the center "O", accordingly the 16 points will change their relative positions from the shape shown in FIG.8 to the shape in FIG.9. After that assuming that we have chosen the second group and reduced horizontally the span of its telescopic structural beams to bring the points Bl, B2, B3, and B4 closer to the centre point "O", as in FIG.10, and that we have chosen the third group and rotated its telescopic structural beams and points Cl, C2, C3, and C4 anticlockwise to produce the new shape shown in FIG.11.

In general, the telescopic structural beams of the structural component can be moved on the horizontal level, either diametrically to be closer to/further from the center of the geometrical shape, or clockwise/anticlockwise around its center. Using these simple steps, the 16 free ends of the telescopic structural beams can be transformed into a plurality of different positions generating a plurality of geometrical shapes. FIG.12 to FIG.17 show examples of transforming the 16 previous free ends of the telescopic structural beams into other shapes by moving the telescopic structural beams of the four groups in different horizontal movements, it is possible for two or more free ends to share one position after movement as shown in FIG.14. hi general the former movements of the telescopic structural beams were at the horizontal level; however, the telescopic structural beams can rotate vertically to elevate their free ends away from the ground or zero level. Thereby if the telescopic structural beams of any group move vertically, the 16 points will form a three- dimensional shape. It is possible to create a plurality of these three-dimensional shapes by the different horizontal and vertical movements of the telescopic structural beams; FIG.18 to FIG.21 represent four examples of those three-dimensional shapes resulting from horizontal and vertical movements of the telescopic structural beams. Any three-dimensional shape created by said structural component can be represented in a numerical table. This is through making a table divided into a number of groups (G). Each group contains a definite number of free end points (P). Each point has three numerical values, the first one is (r) which indicates how far it is from the center point, the second one is (a) which indicates the angle of its direction towards the center point, and the third one is (h) which indicates the height from a predetermined plane such as ground or zero level. For instance, the table in FIG.22 shows the numerical representation of the shape in FIG.21. hi case of making a numerical table for a simple geometrical shape as the one shown in FIG.8, the table will contain the same values (r) for each free end point plus the (h) value will be equal to zero since no vertical movement occurred, FIG.23 demonstrates the numerical representation of the shape shown in FIG.8.

If we have a specific three-dimensional shape and would like to change it into a different one, we will need to move its points to change the values (r, a, h) in its numerical table to the opposite ones of the numerical table of the target shape, hi this case the two shapes should include the same number of groups and group points. Through this numerical table, the movement of the telescopic structural beams to change their free ends' positions to other ones can be estimated. FIG.24, FIG. 25, and FIG.26 represent examples of three-dimensional shapes that include the same number of groups and group points (some points share the same position). These three shapes can be changed formally or morphed from one to the other in the same way using the invented structural component.

In general the previous explanation shows how the invented structural component can create three-dimensional shapes, however, this is considered a mere skeletal structure, to make it as an architectural space; we need to cover this skeleton in an appropriate way. The following details explain how to cover these three- dimensional shapes to be used as architectural spaces for buildings.

FIG.18 shows one of the 3D shapes that were created by the invented structural component. We can connect any three free ends of the telescopic structural beams to form a triangle; these triangles can be covered. FIG.27 shows the coverage of some triangles of that shape. The places and numbers of the covered triangles definitely affect the general form of the shape. For instance, FIG.28, FIG.29, and FIG.30 represent different models of covering the shape in FIG.18, in which the general form differs according to the choice of numbers and places of coverage triangles. It is noticed that when the telescopic structural beams move, the free ends relocate their positions and accordingly the covering triangles change their shape. As an example, FIG.31 shows a three-dimensional shape covered with some specific triangles, where FIG.32, FIG.33, and FIG.34 show the same shape and covering triangle after the movements of the telescopic structural beams to form the other three shapes that totally look different from the first one. It is important to state that when the telescopic structural beams move, the coverage triangles might change the dimensions and declination angles of their sides. This occurs in some specific movements. Therefore, in such cases, we need to use coverage material which is able to change its dimensions with the movements; corrugated sheets or elastic materials are suitable for such usages. It is also possible to use triangles that can easily be disassembled before the movement and reassembled afterwards. Of course there are some types of movements that don't change the dimensions or the angles of the triangles, in such cases there is no need to use a specific material or to dismantle and reassemble the triangles with the movement. FIG.35 gives another example for a shape that is created by the invented structural component, where FIG.36, FIG. 37, and FIG.38 represent three other shapes resulted from different movements of the telescopic structural beams of the structural component. As noticed in FIG.35 the upper triangles moved to open the top of the shape in opposition to the other three shapes. This idea can be used to open or close a ceiling of a building or specific architectural space. Although all the previous presented samples of shapes were symmetrical, the invented structural component can deal with other shapes. As an example, FIG.39 and FIG.40 display a diagrammatic top view of one structural component forming two irregular shapes: trapezoid and L-shape. In this case the structural component is comprised of 6 telescopic structural beams as shown in FIG.40. To change the L- shape to the trapezoidal shape, some telescopic structural beams will move their free ends to share the same positions converting the number of shape sides from 6 to 4.

It is also noted that the proportional difference in the height of the free ends of the telescopic structural beams, with regard to the ground or zero level, can form sloped planes as shown in FIG.41 and FIG.42. These kinds of positions enable us to form sloped ceilings for buildings.

FIG.43 shows an isometric projection for one of the architectural spaces that uses the invented structural component; FIG.44 shows a side view of this space. FIG.45 shows a top view for the covering triangles of this space, and FIG.46 shows a vertical section of the space where we can see the structural component inside the space. In this figure we notice that the covering triangles connected with the ground do not need telescopic structural beams to join the ground, as the heads of the triangles can be connected with fastening points on the ground instead. A variety of simple examples for various architectural spaces that are supported by the invented structural component have been given above, despite the fact that architectural "buildings" are more complex than these simple examples; the invented structural component can support either building design.

An example for using the invented structural components in a complete building, FIG.47 shows a plan of an architectural design of an octagonal building. The building consists of nine spaces, eight of them are trapezoidal and the ninth is octagonal and is located in the center of the building. FIG.48 shows an isometric projection for the building, and FIG.49 shows the main elevation of the building. It is noticed in FIG.47 that each space has one structural component inside. FIG.50 shows a plan of the same building after being moved to change its design into that of another one which contains the same architectural spaces, but in different shapes. For example, the eight spaces that were trapezoidal have changed into a rectangular or an L-shaped figure, whereas the octagonal central space has changed into a square space. We notice that the structural components did not change their positions, but the walls of the spaces have changed with regard to the movement of the telescopic structural beams. FIG.51 shows an isometric projection for the new shape of the building, and FIG.52 shows the elevation. It is noticed that the height of the ceiling of the octagonal space in the center of the building changed, whereas the heights of the other spaces remained the same. It is noticed too in FIG.50 that some of the vertical columns of the structural components are on the perimeter of the walls of the spaces. In such cases the length (r) of some telescopic structural beams has retracted to zero value or minimum length.

FIG.53 shows a new shape for the original building after its second movement according to the calculations of the numerical table explained previously. FIG.54 shows an isometric projection for the building, whereas FIG.55 shows the new building elevation. These figures illustrate the change in the heights and the declinations of the ceilings of the building spaces, compared to the original one.

As another example, FIG.56, FIG.57, and FIG.58 show isometric projections of three buildings that can transform into each other by using the structural components. However, the triangular formations of the demonstrated buildings provide more flexibility to choose the openings of natural lightening, which can be made of a transparent covering material or just opened windows. FIG.59 to FIG.64 show different models of openings for one building, in which the plurality of choices for such openings are shown. In general it is possible to use more than one structural component for the single architectural space, when it is too wide or long. This idea enables us to reduce the structural dimensions of the telescopic structural beams and the vertical column. It is also possible to use the invention to move or change a certain part of the building such as the ceiling or the facade; thus, the other parts of the building remain without movement. In cases such as these, the invented structural components are integrated with the traditional buildings.

Another innovative application for the invented structural component is to be used in horizontal position. In this case the vertical column will turn to be a main beam, fixed on a wall of the building whether it is an interior or exterior one. FIG.65, FIG.66, and FIG.67 illustrate the side view of one structural component as it will look on the wall when its telescopic structural beams move; choosing colored triangles in such cases generates unique shapes as shown in the previous three figures.

The same idea can utilize a number of structural components to cover a wall or part of it as shown in FIG.68. Grouping the structural components in such an arrangement forms a pattern of repeated shapes, when the telescopic structural beams move; they change the triangles' positions and accordingly change the shape of the pattern as shown in FIG.69 to FIG.73, in these figures each single structural component is illustrated beside its group or pattern just for further visual clarification. Also, a different usage of the invented structural component is to be used for the purpose of decorations in squares, garden, or even inside the buildings by moving continuously forming different shapes with each movement of the telescopic structural beams. FIG.74 to FIG.79 illustrates examples of such usage. In all such cases the size of the structural component varies upon the need of different usages. The previous figures from FIG.65 to FIG.79 represent different visual shapes using the invented structural component; this virtual idea can be utilized in computer software to create unique shapes. The user of such software will specify a number of points (that are connected together with lines or colored triangles) and are located on a perimeter of a circle and categorizing these points to a number of groups wherein each group includes a number of points that are moved on the computer screen similarly (horizontally or/and vertically) relative to the center of said circle. When the user drags only one point of any group; all the group points move (since all the points of the chosen group move similarly in relation to the circle center) to change the shape with each little movement. Also, when the user repeats these shapes on the computer screen, a unique pattern will be generated. With each minute movement of one point, the shape of the patterned will change dramatically.

Such software programs are unique in their simplicity and ease of use, in addition to the fact that the user can create a plurality of shapes or patterns in a very short time. The previous shapes from FIG.65 to FIG.79 are also examples of some shapes created by the mentioned software programs.

After explaining the main idea and mechanism of the invented structural component, complete engineering details of the invention are provided. As shown in FIG.80 a top view of one of the telescopic structural beams is illustrated, wherein FIG.81 shows the side view of the same telescopic structural beam. The two figures comprise the main parts of the invention as follows: (1) plurality of interconnected cylindrical members slide inside each other telescopically to change the span of the telescopic structural beam, (2) a wire running along the insides of the cylindrical members is connected between the free end of the outer cylindrical member and a pulley which controls the retraction of the telescopic structural beam by dragging the wire to a specific limit. (3) a spring inside each cylindrical member except the outer one controls the protraction of the telescopic structural beam, when the wire is relieved. (4) a spherical joint inside a socket to allow the telescopic structural beam to rotate with three degrees of freedom. (5) two wires connecting the top outer surface of the innermost cylindrical member to two pulleys, so that when the two wires are pulled, the telescopic structural beam rotates vertically anti-clockwise, and when the wire is relieved gradually, the telescopic structural beam rotates vertically clockwise. (6) two wires connecting the outer side surface of the innermost cylindrical member to two other pulleys, so that the two pulleys control the horizontal rotation of the telescopic structural beam, when one of the wires is pulled and the other is relieved; the telescopic structural beam rotates in the direction of the pulled wire.

FIG.82 shows an isometric projection of the telescopic structural beam with the wires, according to the previous explanation, there are five wires control the movement of the telescopic structural beams. The pulleys can be controlled by gears which can be operated manually or electrically. However, in the case of having each telescopic structural beam moving differently; in this case; each telescopic structural beam will have its own wires and pulleys, whereas in the case of having the same motion for a number of telescopic structural beams, then the wires of these telescopic structural beams can be grouped to only five main pulleys. FIG.83 shows the housing base for the spherical joints which includes a number of sockets to house the spheres of the joints. FIG84 illustrates that the housing base comprised of two symmetrical parts to ease fitting or removing the telescopic structural beam from its sphere in case of replacement.

FIG.85 shows a vertical column with a number of housing bases fixed near the top of the column. Using more than one housing base is good idea when each group of telescopic structural beams is moved differently; then a separate housing base is allocated for each group.

FIG.86 illustrates a method of grouping some wires of a group of telescopic structural beams into a collective cylinder which is fixed on the same column of the structural component. This technique helps reducing the bending moment on the spherical joints and gives more stability to the structural component. It is possible in this case to control the movement of the wires in the collective cylinder by connecting it with a gear that is rotated manually or electrically. Another advantage of using the collective cylinder is when it moves or slides vertically on the column: this movement will make all the telescopic structural beams rotate vertically. Also, the horizontal rotation of the collective cylinders around the column can rotate the entire group of telescopic structural beams up to 360 degrees. The sliding or rotation of the collective cylinder is an easy way to control the motion of a group of telescopic structural beams when they move similarly. FIG.87 shows another alternative of the spherical joints wherein two joints are provided, the first to enable the telescopic structural beam to rotate horizontally, wherein the second enables the telescopic structural beam to rotate vertically. The main difference between the movement of this alternative and the spherical joint is the ability of the spherical joint to rotate about its axis. It is important to note that the details and functionality of the spherical joints or the latter alternatives enables the structural component to sustain seismic vibrations; this is a great advantage that is lacking in most traditional buildings.

It is possible to control the movements of the different telescopic structural beams and accordingly control the movement of the building by some types of sensors that detect specific data from the surrounding environment; though some program; the suitable movement is calculated to make the building respond toward the detected data. Such sensors are excellent to detect the change of temperature, sun orientation or wind directions. Brief Description of the Drawings
