Abstract

The invention consists in a space frame system made up of plastic joints and aluminum beams, for the construction of light elements for the interior decoration and outdoors preparations in DIY kit, based on geometries with semi-octahedron and tetrahedron modules. The joint, made of plastic by hot injection process, is made up of two slotted hemispheres and a central plate, joined together through a single screw that allows the simultaneously tightening of eight or twelve plastic terminals, prearranged to aluminum beams, of small diameter and thickness, through cold seaming. The application is the DIY, for the kit construction of light elements for interior decoration (tables, chairs, shelving, false ceilings) and outdoors preparation (gazebos, canopies, glasshouses, garages, hangars) based on geometries with semi-octahedron and tetrahedron modules. The market is the large-scale retail trade. Since the known structures on the market are based on orthogonal geometries (shelving), we can affirm that, for the above-mentioned applications, it doesn't exists something similar to this invention. One of the advantages presented by this invention is that it allows the construction of tables, chairs, false ceilings, gazebos, glasshouses etc, with an extremely simplicity of transport, assembling, disassembling, inexpensiveness and lightness, thank to the universal joint system which allows the beams rotation after they have been locked in the node through one single screwing operation.

Claims

8AMENDED CLAIMS Received by the International Bureau on 08.Oct.2009 (08.10.2009)
1. A structural system composed of plastic joints, obtained through hot injection, and aluminum beams, the system being based on light frame structures with a semioctahedral and tetrahedral geometric modules for DIY construction of gazebos, stands, cantilever roof, tables, greenhouses, false ceilings, the joints being composed of two symmetrical hemispheres (1) and a central plate (7; 15) joined together by a central pin (13; 20; 25; 32) to assemble eight or twelve beams simultaneously, the symmetrical hemispheres (1) being fitted with four slots (2) being orthogonal to each other and extending about 45°, which correspond to internal ovoidal impressions (3) for housing the terminals (12) of beams (11), characterized in that an insertion of twelve beams is obtained by the central plate (15) provided with four slots orthogonal to each other, and a disk (19), the central plate (15) further having four semiholes (8), a central hole (18) for a central pin (20, 25), and four ovoidal housings (17) which allows beam terminal (12) insertion.
2. The structural system in compliance with claim 1, characterized in that the central pin (25) traverses a hollow terminal (24) of a vertical beam (27) composed of an aluminium tube, with small thickness, constant diameter and variable length, on one of two tube extremities being fixed plastic terminals (12) and on the other one the hollow terminal (24) being traversed by the central pin (25) around which is assembled the joint, both the plastic terminals (12) and the hollow terminal (24) being fixed to the tube through cold seaming.
3. The structural system in compliance with claims 1 and 2, characterized in that the central pin (20) is inserted in "L" shaped iron stalks (28) being slotted to allow the locking to the pavement, through both tent pickets and chemical or mechanical small blocks.
4. The structural system in compliance with claims 1 and 2, characterized in that the central pin (20) is inserted in "Ω" shaped iron stalks (29) being slotted to allow the locking to the pavement, through both tent pickets and chemical or mechanical small blocks.
5. The structural system in compliance with claims 1 and 2, characterized in that the central pin (20) is inserted in "U" shaped iron stalks (30), being slotted to allow the locking to the joint and provided with a central hole to allow the screwing of a rubber bulb (31).
6. The structural system in compliance with claims 1 and 2, characterized in that the central pin (32) is inserted in "L" shaped iron stalks (28) being provided with slots and holes to allow the locking to a wall through chemical or mechanical small blocks.
