Definitions
- an illustrative embodiment of this present disclosure includes doubly curved structures and methods of making the same without requiring specially made frames or the like.
- These structures may accommodate variable Gaussian curvature and may be used as curved walls, barriers, ceilings, columns, or other structures.
- these structures can easily and accurately approximate doubly curved surfaces including saddle shaped or hyperbolic, spherical, conical, folded, or twisted surfaces, or other Gaussian curvature.
- individually sized geometrically unique boxes are stacked or assembled to form the structure.
- Spherical, twisted, multi-directional waves or other complex curved shapes can be achieved by assembling the plurality of individually sized boxes in a specifically arranged order.
- Each box in the assembly has unique geometry specific to its location in the assembly. It is this continuously variable geometry that enables the construction system to accurately approximate doubly curved surfaces.
- Each box is stackable and attach to each other via magnets, fasteners, etc., so no support structure, skeleton, or frame is necessary.
- all boxes that form the structure are made from a flat sheet blank of material. No specially molded cubes or blocks are required. Once the needed box sizes are calculated, the flat sheet blanks are cut and scored into the individual sizes and folded into boxes.
- the above and other illustrative embodiments may further provide: the box element module dividing the three-dimensional design into a grid of contiguous panels wherein each panel is defined by a series of shared 1 -degree edge curves; the panels being comprised of triangular mesh surfaces; the panel module mapping graphics onto the box elements while maintaining alignment on non-planar assemblies of the three-dimensional design; the box elements being 3, 4, 5 or n sided; the panels being defined by sets of edge curves extruded (or lofted) to create sidewalls mated to each panel face; each sidewall being co-planar and contiguous to a neighboring sidewall; each non peripheral box sidewall having an edge that mates with a corresponding edge of a neighboring box element; the two- dimensional representations being labeled to facilitate sorting and assembly of the three- dimensional design; forming each box element as a two-dimensional panel; and the panel being formed of corrugated plastic.
- Figs. 47a-d demonstrate another illustrative embodiment of a suspension system for a ceiling-mounted structure
- Figs. 83a-c show another view of an image that is then applied to the curved face according to embodiments the present disclosure along with an unfolded box portion;
- Fig. 84 is a perspective view of a magnetic snap grid module
- Fig. 85 is a side-sectional schematic view of a snap grid module
- Fig. 99 is a perspective view of a folded box portion according to embodiments of the present disclosure.
- FIG. 9 Perspective views of box 154 split into front and rear portions 168 and 170, respectively, are shown in Fig. 9.
- an unfolded blank version of box portion 168 is shown.
- This view depicts how sides 172, 174, 176, and 178 of box portion 168 and sides 180, 182, 184, and 186 of box 170 can all be different and have varied thicknesses depending on the boxes' location in the overall structure.
- Box portion 168 shown in blank form, depicts how sides 172, 174, 176, and 178 are formed and may vary the thickness of box 168 when folded. The same is true with sides 180-186 of box 170 and all the other boxes of the structure for that matter.
- blank 168 is cut and scored to form sides 172, 174, 176, and 178.
- FIG. 13b-c An illustrative method of forming and assembling each box portion is shown in Figs. 13b-c.
- the view in Fig. 13a is similar to that of Fig. 12 with each of boxes 212 to 214 and 218 in exploded view separating portions 220/230, 222/232, and 226/236 from each other.
- Box portions 228/230 of box 216 are shown in Fig. 13b.
- each box portion 228 and 230 (as well as all the box portions for that matter) begin life as a cut blank, as shown in Fig. 13c.
- Portions 228 and 230, in blank form are made from a sheet of material such as plastic, paper, or sheet metal, for example.
- FIG. 15 An upward looking perspective view of a theater interior space 400 with a suspended structure 402 located overhead is shown in Fig. 15.
- structure 402 is suspended between two ends 404 and 406 of space 400 illustratively under roof, below a floor above or below a ceiling.
- the view of Fig. 15 only shows end 404, but a second end 406 is represented in the line drawings of Fig. 16a-e. Nevertheless, the view in Fig. 15 depicts another illustrative utility of these self-supporting structures.
- structure 402 is attached to building 400 at ends 404 and 406, there is no independent framing or skeleton needed to support the shape of the individual boxes that make up structure 402. It is also evident from this view how surface 408 of structure 402 can be arched or curved in multiple directions.
- FIG. 1 a and b demonstrate how it is modifiable by slider function 512 (alternatively integer input).
- slider 514 shown in a starting position in Fig. 19a, can be slid in direction 516 to extend structure 464 in direction 518.
- a computer program can generate numeric inputs that drive the definition of the base surface and, thus, proportions of the tiles as established in Fig. 18 to change the shape of the boxes as shown (as well as quantity of boxes if predetermined min-max threshholds are exceeded.
- Figs. 22a and c demonstrate how the type of tiling solution may be changed.
- Figs. 22a and b show quad-shaped boxes while Figs. 22c and d show diamond shaped boxes. This flexibility allows the designer to have an expanded pallet of design choices for creating these structures.
- FIG. 39a-d Another illustrative embodiment of the present disclosure includes a pleated freestanding side wall 960 as shown in Figs. 39a-d.
- This design may employ the concept of the uniquely shaped boxes, such as boxes 962 and 964 to make the pleated pattern surface.
- the outline of a person 966 is shown for scale. This installation illustrates an inside corner condition within an installation and subtly skewed seams between boxes for aesthetics.
- these boxes may be fabricated from materials that can be twisted without permanently affecting their resiliency or memory.
- the twist for a particular face is digitally approximated by breaking the twisted surface down into triangular facets that are inherently flat, shown in Fig. 41d-g.
- These triangular flat faces are digitally unrolled into a blank (see Fig. 4 If).
- the diagonal edges triangulating each face are eliminated in the blank before cutting, as illustrated in Fig. 41g.
- the resulting blank's boundary is cut out of a flexible flat material and the remaining interior edges are bent, scored, heat formed or partially routed, removing the material memory and enabling it to bend sharply as a living hinge.
- the side walls of the boxes are twisted or sloped making it appear as though the front surface created by the boxes is curvy or twisted.
- the entire box appears to bulge towards the viewer, an effect that is dramatically enhanced by the translucency of the boxes allowing the view to see shadowing from the twisted sidewalls.
- a ruled surface relief box 1540 and the method of making the same are shown in Fig. 61.
- Box 1540 is made up of first portion 1542, back portion 1544, and second portion 1546.
- the front faces of 1542 and 1546 are twisted surfaces and the curvature is
- the boxes are designed so that the columns have a space to accommodate other structures, such as shelf rails 1572 and 1574 of shelf system 1564 shown herein.
- Rails 1572 and 1574 may mount onto back wall 1562 via fasteners or other means commonly known in the art.
- a plurality of shelf brackets, such as 1576 and 1578, may attach to rails 1572 and 1574, respectively, by means conventionally known to those skilled in the art of shelf bracket and rail systems.
- both the rails 1572 and 1574 attached to the wall 1562 and brackets 1576 and 1578 attach to rails 1572 and 1574.
- Shelving, such as shelf 1580 may rest on brackets 1576 and 1578 to support the same as shown herein.
- Translucent boxes 1742 may then be attached via magnets or other fasteners for permanent or temporary connection to their respective back panels 1728. It is appreciated that as disclosed in the other embodiments, the boxes and back panels of this embodiment may be a variety of sizes to create the desired wall structure. Not all boxes 1742 and back panels 1728 are the same sizes. That said, a particular back panel 1728 will correspond in size to a corresponding box 1742. This allows each of the light strips 1748 to be attached to back panel 1728 which can then attach to the wall and all that is left to do is then attach the proper boxes 1748 to its corresponding back panel to create the particular structure.
- Fig. 95 through 97 show alternative folding strategies for individual boxes to create trimless edges.
- a perspective view of a structure 1900 similar to those discussed in previous embodiments is made up of a plurality of boxes.
- one of the edges 1902 of structure 1900 is visible.
- the edge boxes such as edge box 1904
- a trimless edge 1906 the overall structure is given a cleaner and more finished look.
- the view in Fig. 95b shows an unfolded box 1904 wherein tabs 1908 and back portion 1910 are folded so they are not visible in relation to edge 1906.
- a trimless corner box 1912 is configured to have trimless side and top edges 1914 and 1916, respectively.
- fasteners such as fasteners 2008 may extend through each of the side panels as shown to secure the same together.
- sidewall 2006 is folded up so sidewalls 2000 and 2002 match up with flange 1984.
- Fasteners 2008 may be used as shown to secure those portions of the box together. The same process occurs with walls 1998 and 2012. With all the folding complete, and as shown in Fig. 104, additional fasteners 2008 help secure all the tabs and walls together.
- acute face triangles 2024 with angles of about 28° or more may be cut and folded into the triangular sub-structure box 2026.
- the grain direction of the triangular surface is about 90° to the triangle's hypotenuse.
- the associated fold lines may be cut with a "V" cutter with the following illustrative specification: Brand: Magnate, Part Number: 726, Type: 2 Flute V-Grooving; Degree: 120; Cutting Diameter: 1"; Shank Diameter: 1/2"; Cutting Length: 15/32"; Shank Total Length: 1-1/2"; Material: Carbide Tipped.
- the cut blank such as 2022, 2026, and 2028 may then be folded into boxes.
