Title:
CONVEYOR GALLERY LATERAL RESTRAINT SYSTEM
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO1999048777
Kind Code:
B1
Abstract:
A conveyor gallery (14, 20) lateral restraint system (26) for a reticulated dome structure (10, 22) includes a pair of load transfer pads (38, 40) integrated into the conveyor gallery (14, 20) and dome structure (10, 22). Only loads normal to the outer surfaces of the load transfer pads (38, 40), and thus loads along the reticulated surface of the dome structure (10, 22) are transferred to the dome structure by the load transfer pads (38, 40). Because of characteristics of the load transfer pads (38, 40) and their orientation relative to the dome surface, substantially no loads that are normal to the surface of the dome structure (10, 22) are transferred to the dome structure (10, 22) by the conveyor gallery (14, 20).
