Definitions

  • the invention relates to a component for the production of, in particular, structural contours from rod-shaped parts and connection nodes for connecting these parts.
  • rod-shaped connecting elements and node elements for the supporting structure.
  • the knot elements can be designed as ball knots or disk knots.
  • Ball knots made of metal are known, for example, which can have up to 18 rod connections in the form of threaded bores distributed over their circumference. Correspondingly designed screw connections are provided at the rod ends.
  • This system has proven itself in practice, but can still be improved.
  • a prefabricated ball knot with the maximum possible number of rod connections only a predetermined angle gradation or angle assignment of the rods is possible.
  • each node In the case of structural surfaces made of various polygonal surfaces, each node must be made individually for each corner, ie special designs are required for these special connecting angles of the bars. Due to the axial screw connections, the rods can only absorb and transmit torsional forces to a very limited extent.
  • the outer skin - e.g. B. in a roof structure - facing sides can be adapted according to the course of the planking or the like by deburring or attachment parts, which means an additional effort.
  • the object of the present invention is to provide a component of the type mentioned at the outset which can be connected to adjacent elements in practically any angular arrangements, which should also be possible with universally prefabricated components. In addition, there should be a stable node connection.
  • the invention proposes in particular that the component consists of two rod-shaped individual elements arranged parallel to one another, which can be connected at least on one outer longitudinal edge by a hinged hinge oriented with its axis parallel to the long sides of the individual elements and at right angles on at least one front end of both individual elements has connecting hinges oriented to their longitudinal axes for connecting to components of the same structure or other components and that the extensions of the respective hinge axes intersect outside the individual elements in a common axis center in the connecting node.
  • the knot connections are movable in this construction according to the invention, so that any connection angle between adjacent components (rods) can be set within predetermined limits.
  • Prefabricated universal components can thus be used for practically all applications and edge structures of any body can be reproduced and non-positively connected at the body corners.
  • the position of the geometric connection node formed by the intersection of the respective axes remains the same even when the position of the connected rod-shaped components changes. This also means that there are no changes in rod length when there are changes in the angle, and thus there are always constant system lengths.
  • the hinge connections provided result in a torsionally stable connection in the node area, so that in many cases the otherwise necessary support measures can be dispensed with.
  • bevels or the like are provided at the ends of the individual elements, adjacent to the connection hinges, to the maximum movement range provided or to the respective connection angle to neighboring components.
  • the appropriate free space for the intended adjustment angle is formed in order to adjoin adjacent, interconnected components or individual elements, for. B. from an extended position to an angled position.
  • the individual elements can be moved around their hinged hinge axis for spherical surface structures with a range of motion around the hinged hinge axis of up to 90 ° per individual element.
  • the side surface of the individual elements facing away from the folding hinge on a longitudinal edge facing away from the folding hinge is adjoined by a fastening side and / or support side on the long side and preferably perpendicular to the side surface, preferably for planking or the like.
  • the fastening or support side for the planking or the like follows a movement of the individual elements about their folding hinge and connecting hinge axes, whereby it is always aligned with the body boundary surface.
  • no trimmings or the like, which cause a corresponding outlay, are required, which are adapted to the respective position of the component.
  • Fig. 1 shows seven components 1 to 1 f according to the invention, which are connected at their ends to form a network structure. They form an edge structure and each delimit different surface sections.
  • the two components 1 a and 1 b form side edges of a hexagon
  • the components 1 b and 1 c form two sides of a square
  • the components 1 d and 1 e and 1 e and 1 f delimit a triangle
  • Pages 1, 1 c and 1 f form three sides of a pentagon.
  • Each of the components 1 to 1 f consists of two parallel rod-shaped individual elements 2 (cf. also FIGS. 2 to 13), which in the exemplary embodiment can consist of rods with a rectangular cross section, which are attached to an outer longitudinal edge with the aid of a folding hinge 4 (see FIGS. 3 and 4) can be connected.
  • these individual elements can be placed against one another or folded apart about the folding hinge axis with their longitudinal side faces 5 facing each other.
  • Fig. 1 for the sake of simplicity of the folding hinges 4 and the connecting hinges 7, only their hinge axes 4 a and 7 a are shown.
  • the hinges 4 and the connecting hinges 7 By the invention Arrangement of the hinges 4 and the connecting hinges 7, the movements of the individual elements 2 of a component 1 and of individual elements of adjacent components, which can be seen particularly in FIGS. 2 to 4, can be seen.
  • the two individual elements 2 can optionally be connected to one another on adjacent outer longitudinal edges 8 or 9 by means of folding hinges 4 in order to be able to form positive or negative spatial shapes.
  • connection hinges 7 located at the ends 6 and the folding hinges 4 running at right angles together limit a longitudinal side surface 5 of an individual element 2.
  • a connection node 10 is formed in the connection area, which also forms a geomentric corner point of the spatial framework construction.
  • this connection node the extensions of the respective hinge axes intersect in a common axis center 11.
  • this axis center 11 lies outside the individual elements 2 in the "material-free space" in order to achieve the intended possibility of movement of the components 1.
  • the individual elements 2 of a component 1 can also be decoupled from their folding hinge connections. As a result, a significantly expanded application area of the component 1 according to the invention is possible.
  • either the position of the connection hinges 7, in particular their distance from the ends of the individual elements 2 can be varied and / or the bevels 14 running to the connection hinges 7 can be designed accordingly.
  • the bevels 14 are designed such that the components connected to one another or their individual elements 2 can be pivoted up to 135 ° in one plane, starting from the stretched position, as shown in dashed lines.
  • the folding hinges 4 can be attached either to the two outer longitudinal edges 8 or 9 of the inner longitudinal side surfaces 5. As a result, both concave and convex shaped fields of a network structure can be realized.
  • FIGS. 2 to 4 The practical design of the folding hinges 4 and the connecting hinges 7 can be seen in FIGS. 2 to 4 and in particular also in FIGS. 5 to 13.
  • axially aligned eyelet parts 15 are provided at least at the end regions of the individual elements 2 with a corresponding length and in intermediate regions, which are arranged here in pairs at a distance from each other to engage a counter-eyelet part of the second individual element provided to form a component .
  • the pairs of eyelets are each offset from one another by the width of an eyelet part 15 with respect to a central plane in the middle of the longitudinal extent of the individual elements.
  • the eyelet parts 15 are arranged in the region of chamfers 17 of the longitudinal edges 8, 9, so that the hinged hinge axis 4 a lie in the plane of the adjacent side surface.
  • tab-shaped eyelet parts 16 are provided, which are arranged such that their axes are perpendicular to that of the folding hinge 4 and both axes lie in one plane. This can be clearly seen, for example, in FIGS. 8 to 10.
  • the eyelet parts 16 of the connecting hinges 7 are laterally offset from one another at the two ends 6 of an individual element 2. Instead of eyelet parts 15 and 16 arranged in pairs, correspondingly more eyelet parts arranged next to one another can be provided, even with higher loads, or only one single eyelet engaging between a pair of eyelets on a lower load.
  • the individual elements 2 When assembling the individual elements 2 to form a component 1, the individual elements 2 are turned sideways connected at their ends so that the axially offset hinge parts 15, 16 fit into each other.
  • eyelet parts 15 both on the outer longitudinal edge 8 and on the longitudinal edge 9 according to FIGS. 3 to 13 should in particular clarify that the individual elements 2 can be designed universally for different structural contours with positive shapes and negative shapes. If the shape of the construction is known from the outset, it is sufficient to provide eyelet parts 15 only on one of the outer longitudinal edges 8 or 9 in order to avoid unnecessary effort in this case.
  • the through-hole thru axles can be provided.
  • stiffeners such as square or rectangular surfaces.
  • B. can be provided in the form of diagonal struts which are attached with their ends to the connecting hinges 7. The diagonal struts then have at their ends eyelet parts 16 which are penetrated by the hinge bolt inserted in the respective connection hinge 7.
  • the individual elements 2 can consist of wood and, for example, can also be designed as glue binders. However, they can also consist of metal or plastic for other applications.
  • the connecting fittings formed by the eyelet parts 15 and 16 can be metal parts or plastic parts which are dimensioned according to the strength requirements and are connected to the individual elements 2.
  • the individual elements 2 can have a wide variety of cross-sectional shapes. Extruded profiles can also be used, particularly for metal designs. There is also the possibility of integrally molding the hinge parts, in particular in the case of plastic individual elements 2. With less The hinges can be designed as snap or snap-in connections, in particular for toy parts.
  • FIGS. 14 to 19 show different surfaces of the structure, in which the components 1 according to the invention can be used. These are essentially dome-shaped network structures. However, the area of application extends beyond roof structures, pavilion buildings and the like to toys, climbing systems, the decoration area, trade fair systems and the like. There is therefore a very wide range of applications.
  • the essential advantages of the components according to the invention are their stepless adjustability with respect to the connection angle, the structurally simple structure, the position of the axis center in each case within the connection node forming a construction corner point and also the torsionally rigid connection connection between the individual components.
